Abstract
A fluid outlet system is provided for selectively providing a plurality of fluids (e.g., oxygen medical air and vacuum) at different locations. The fluids are provided by a multifluid distribution system, and the fluids are selected by positioning an active fascia assembly at a desired location along the length of the distribution system. Access to other sections of the distribution system is inhibited by blank fascia assemblies. The active and blank fascia assemblies can be repositioned as desired to change the types of fluids supplied to medical apparatuses and the like, and to change the locations at which such fluids are accessed.
