placement of electrical outlets in buildings with medical gases.
placement of electrical outlets in buildings with medical gases.
(OP)
Hey I'm new to the forum. A question was posed to me about medical gas nitrous oxide (anesthesia) being heavier than air and thus requiring electrical outlets to be installed higher than normal due to the flammibility potential. Anyone have any knowledge of this?

Welcome to eng-tips, glad to have you here.
One caution: Posting the same question in more than one forum causes confusion, as discussions expand without coordination. Please have a read through the forum policies at Forum Policies.
I'll repeat my answer from the other post, for the benefit of those here.
Nitrous isn't flammable. It can accelerate the burning of things, though, like an atmosphere of enriched oxygen.
