CMS Medical Gas Terminal Unit
CMS Medical Gas Terminal Unit
A terminal unit is where medical equipment connects to the gas pipeline. Each gas socket is designed to accept only its matching probe, preventing cross connection. Connect Medical Systems produces a British-made terminal unit family in different gas and mounting configurations.
What is it?
The unit consists of a rear body connected to the pipeline with a copper tail, a valve cartridge that closes automatically when the probe is withdrawn, and a front fascia carrying the gas name and colour. Service spares — cartridges, seal kits and blanking kits — allow the unit to be maintained without replacing the rear body built into the wall.
Features
- Available gas configurations: oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical air, surgical air, vacuum, AGSS, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and heliox
- Surface, flush, bedhead or pendant mounting
- Gas-specific design that prevents connecting the wrong probe
- Cartridges and service kits allow maintenance without replacing the body
- Manufactured in the United Kingdom
- Products from this brand are available according to project requirements and availability.
Applications
- Hospitals and medical complexes
- Operating theatres and intensive care units
- Emergency and inpatient departments
- Day-surgery centres and clinics
- Laboratories and supporting medical applications
- Expansion and medical gas pipeline refurbishment projects

Frequently asked questions
Can the cartridge be replaced without breaking into the wall?
Yes. The unit is designed to be serviced from the front by replacing the cartridge and seal kits while the rear body stays in place, with the branch isolated before work begins.
