Abstract
A modular gas services outlet unit for providing gas related services, such as compressed air, oxygen and vacuum, to a health care facility. The unit is enclosed within a shell which may be mounted on a surface or installed in a recess in a wall. Preferably, each of the gas service devices utilized in the unit is supported by a swivel connector assembly which allows the gas service device to be moved between an operating position in which the device extends a distance outside the shell and a storage position in which the device is contained entirely within the shell. In this way, when the gas service is not required the fully assembled gas service device can be rotated to the storage position inside the shell. In most instances the unit will include a cover which is slidably mounted over the shell for concealing the unit when none of the gas services are in use. When use of a gas service device is required, the cover is repositioned to permit access to the unit and the swivel connector allows the device to be moved immediately into the operating position with little or no assembly.
