What is the recommended minimum pipe size for oxygen medical gas risers?

The recommended minimum pipe size for oxygen medical gas risers is 3/4 inch. This size is determined based on industry standards that ensure adequate flow rates and pressure levels necessary for medical gas systems, which are critical for patient care. Having a 3/4 inch diameter allows for effective distribution and minimizes the risk of pressure drops in the system, ensuring that oxygen is delivered reliably and safely to various points of use within a healthcare facility.

Larger pipe sizes could also be used depending on specific system requirements, but 3/4 inch is the established minimum. This specification ensures compatibility with traditional medical gas systems while meeting the flow requirements for typical applications in healthcare environments.
