The Importance of Expertise in Medical Gas Piping
Proper medical gas plumbing is vital for safety and performance in healthcare settings. It requires expert knowledge to ensure clean, reliable gas flow and full compliance with industry standards.
With years of experience, we handle gases like nitrous oxide, CO₂, and medical air—designing and installing systems tailored to each facility’s needs.
Plumbing Systems Installation Process
Before you start plumbing work for a construction project or commercial space, it’s a good idea to anticipate all of the elements that will need to be put in place. Each square foot of plumbing area is essential in the development and operation of a functional plumbing system.
Rough-In and Start Phase
This is the portion of the project when work takes place below ground. Before the foundation is poured, pipes are dug in sewage drains and water lines, which is known as “undergrounding.”
Top Out and 2nd Rough Phase
During the Top Out Phase, we complete the project after the foundation has been laid and framing has been finished. We connect the drain lines, hot and cold water lines for faucets, showers, baths, etc., as well plumbing fixtures such as stubbing out of the walls. Shower pans and tubs will also be installed at this time.
Piping and Plumbing Installation
Pipes help to move water in and out of a home or building. The water is drawn in from the water supply line at 50–60 PSI. This happens with the help of gravity, which also pushes the used water out into a septic tank or sanitary sewer system. Properly installed pipes can last up to 40 years with proper maintenance. In order for the pipes to work, they must be connected correctly and hooked up to the main water line.
Installing Fixtures
Once the pipes are installed, it’s time to install the fixtures. This includes sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, and anything else that needs water. Again, these must be properly connected to the water lines in the new plumbing system in order for them to work. This occurs before the foundations of a new building are constructed. These fixtures are covered with plastic or tarps once they’re in place to avoid dust and paint splatter from getting on them.
Septic Tanks
A septic tank is a small, on-site sewage facility that separates liquid waste from solid waste. Anaerobic microorganisms help break the materials down before they’re sent through a sewage line to an actual sewage facility. Septic tanks are housed in an underground chamber, and should be 10 to 25 feet away from a home.
Trim and Final Phase
The final phase of creating a house is referred to as the Trim Phase. Sinks, faucets, and toilets are all completed and put in place.
