Abstract
A gas rail includes, preferably, three conduits designed to convey vacuum, pressurized oxygen and air, respectively, for a fluid flow system designed to be located in a hospital room. The gas rail includes a fluid coupling for each conduit so that each conduit may be coupled to its respective source as well as to its ultimate destination. The gas rail is mounted on a wall in the hospital room by virtue of a bracket mount with the gas rail and the bracket mount having interengaging portions permitting the gas rail to be mounted to the bracket mount in any one of two distinct, diverse orientations. The bracket mount also has the provision of structure permitting installation of a clip designed to retain electrical conductors which may be mounted in the bracket mount.
