P3 Medical Gas Terminal Units
P3 Medical Gas Terminal Units
A terminal unit is where medical equipment connects to the gas pipeline, and each gas socket accepts only its matching probe so that cross connection is prevented. Phoenix Pipeline Products (P3) manufactures a UK-made terminal unit family in different gas, mounting and first-fix connection configurations.
What is it?
Each unit has a 1st fix connected to the pipeline and a 2nd fix carrying the self-sealing valve and the gas-identified fascia. The 1st fix differs by location: a Ø12 mm copper stub brazed into the pipeline, a NIST connector, or a rear-entry hose barb for pendants. Units are fully tested and certified prior to despatch per the manufacturer's published data.
Features
- Available configurations: flush/surface wall mounting, a NIST version, bedhead units (rear, right-hand, left-hand) and pendant units (rear-entry barb, rear-entry NIST, 90° rear-entry NIST)
- Available for oxygen, nitrous oxide, 50% oxygen/50% nitrous oxide, medical air, surgical air, medical vacuum, AGSS, carbon dioxide and nitrogen
- Meets the requirements of HTM 02-01 and HTM 2022 for medical gas pipeline systems, plus BS EN ISO 9170-1, BS EN ISO 9170-2, BS 5682, BS 8532 and BS EN ISO 18082
- Wall-mounted versions are supplied with a mounting box kit
- Ø12 mm copper stub 1st fix for brazing into the pipeline on wall and bedhead versions

Frequently asked questions
Does the unit differ by gas type?
Yes. Each gas has its own socket keying, colour and identification so that only the matching probe fits, and the same family is available in the gas configurations listed above.
Which configuration suits a ceiling pendant?
The pendant units with rear-entry barb, rear-entry NIST or 90° rear-entry NIST, mounted vertically or horizontally inside the pendant as the design requires.
