Definitions

• Recessed wall outlet: Medical gas/vacuum outlet intended for in-wall
installation. It is designed to be ganged together for placement between wall
studs.
• Rough-in assembly: Sub-assembly of the outlet that connects to the facility’s
piped medical gas system. The rough-in assembly contains the secondary check
valve (for pressurized medical gases only).
• Frontbody assembly: Sub-assembly of the outlet that connects to a patient care
system. The frontbody consists of the primary check valve and a keying disc.
The keying disc contains an adapter release button (for Latch Index Key and
Geometric Key key styles), and a gas-specific keying system that prevents cross-
connection from the outlet to a patient care system and from the frontbody
assembly to the backbody assembly.

• Finish assembly: Assembly that attaches to a rough-in assembly to trim the outlet
to the rough wall opening. For example, the recessed outlet finish assembly
consists of the frontbody assembly and a finish faceplate.
