Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Gas Systems Repairs

What type of piping is used for medical gas?
Medical gas systems primarily use Type L copper tubing with brazed joints. This specialized copper must be cleaned, capped, and handled according to strict requirements to prevent contamination. All components must be specifically manufactured for medical gas service to ensure patient safety.
How often should you get a medical gas system inspection?
Unlike commercial plumbing systems that have more variable requirements, medical gas systems should be inspected quarterly for alarm function tests and annually for a more comprehensive review. Additionally, after any repair or modification, testing must be performed to ensure system integrity. Regulatory agencies like The Joint Commission may require specific testing intervals for accreditation compliance.
Why is medical gas plumbing expensive?
Cleveland medical gas repairs require specialized certification, equipment, and knowledge that standard plumbers don't possess. The materials must meet strict requirements for cleanliness and quality. Additionally, the critical nature of these systems means there's zero tolerance for error, requiring extensive testing and verification. These factors contribute to higher costs compared to standard plumbing services.
What certifications do your technicians have for medical gas work?
Our technicians hold ASSE 6010 certification for medical gas system installers and ASSE 6040 for maintenance personnel. These certifications require extensive training and testing to ensure technicians understand the critical nature of medical gas systems and the proper protocols for installation, testing, and repair.
Can you perform medical gas repairs while our facility remains operational?
Yes, in most cases. We understand healthcare facilities cannot simply shut down, so we've developed protocols to perform repairs with minimal disruption to patient care. We can isolate zones when possible and coordinate with facility staff to ensure critical care areas remain operational during maintenance and repairs.
What's included in your Cleveland medical gas system maintenance service?
Our comprehensive maintenance includes inspection of source equipment, verification of alarm functions, testing of zone valves, inspection of outlets and connections, pressure testing as needed, and verification of system performance. We provide detailed documentation of all findings and services performed to support your compliance requirements.
