Compact Multi-Valve AVSU
Compact Multi-Valve AVSU
The Compact Multi-Valve AVSU is the visible area isolation point for a clinical zone. It allows the operations team to cut gas to a defined area within seconds during an emergency or maintenance, without affecting the rest of the facility.
What is it?
The unit is installed in a visible, accessible position at the entrance to the area it serves. It contains an isolation valve per gas, pressure indication, a front break-glass panel for emergencies, and identification showing the gas and the area served. Gas count and sizes follow the network design and the approved project specification.
Features
- Rapid area isolation in emergencies
- Pressure indication for each gas
- Break-glass front panel when required
- Clear identification of gas and area served
- Visible and accessible location
- Connectivity with the area alarm panel
Applications
- Hospitals and medical complexes
- Operating theatres and intensive care units
- Emergency and inpatient departments
- Dialysis centres
- Day-surgery centres and clinics
- Expansion and refurbishment projects in healthcare facilities

Frequently asked questions
Who is authorised to operate an AVSU?
Operation is restricted to authorised staff under facility procedures, which is why the unit is designed to be visible for emergency use while protected against casual operation.
