Model Numbers

Notes:

•  The power supply requires 1 gang per box.

•  Example: English, 3 valves, 1/2" Oxygen, 3/4" Medical Air and 1-1/4" Medical Vacuum. Will be in a 

4 gang box, not a 3 gang: AVU-1O2A4V

•  The 1-1/2" valve will have an empty space above the valve.

•  Example: a box with a 1/2" Oxygen, 3/4" Medical Air and 1-1/2" Medical Vacuum and a power 

supply will require a 5 gang box not a 4 gang box.

•  The 2" valve will be assembled in a 6-1/2" deep box and shall accommodate up to a maximum of four 

gases. The 2" valve shall be positioned on the bottom of the assembly. The height measurements 

of the 6-1/2" deep valve box are the same as the 3-7/8" deep valve box. When comparing height 

measurements, consider the gap above the 2" valve.

•  Example: a valve box with 1/2" valve, 2" valve and a power supply would be in a 3 gang, 6-1/2" 

deep box, which would be the same height as the 4 gang, 3-7/8" valve box.

•  2-1/2" and 3" valve assemblies are only offered as singles.
