Area Valve Service Unit

An Area Valve Service Unit is a control point within a hospital’s medical gas pipeline system, allowing specific areas to be isolated for maintenance or emergency purposes without affecting the rest of the facility. Typically installed in accessible wall-mounted enclosures, these units feature clearly labeled valves for oxygen, nitrous oxide, vacuum, and other gases. Depending on regional terminology, they may be called zone valve box, medical gas valve box, gas isolation box, service box for medical gas, wall mounted valve unit, gas zone control unit, valve cabinet for medical gas, or area valve box. Their precise design ensures quick and safe operation during emergencies, contributing to overall patient safety.
