Installation, Operating Instructions
for Sleep Lab Panel
Installation of Inlet and Outlet DISS Assemblies
Inlet and outlet DISS assemblies must be installed in accordance with NFPA99 or CSAZ7396.1. An internal nitrogen
purge must be used during the brazing operation. The purge gas should flow away from the DISS body. Brazing
alloys per appropriate standards must be used. Before brazing, wet rags must be wrapped around the tube extensions
next to the DISS body to prevent overheating and possible damage to the DISS O ring seals. Direct the flame away
from the DISS body. The DISS body temperature must not exceed 300 degrees F to prevent damaging the O ring
seals.
The system must be tested (per appropriate standards) to ensure that no cross-connections have been made.
The system must be tested (per appropriate standards) for leaks.
Note: Pressure in the system will increase or decrease with temperature rise or fall.
WARNING: Miss-connection of the gases could lead to serious or fatal injury to patients. Following
installation, DISS connections must be tested for cross-connection (per appropriate standards) to ensure
that the intended services are correctly connected to the appropriate service lines.

Sleep Lab Panel Installation
1. Tri-Tech Medical Sleep Lab Panels may be plumbed in either direction –
with the patient (use) side on the left or the right. This saves the plumber
time and money.
2. The rough-in (back box) is shipped with a cardboard dust cover installed. You
will need to remove the dust cover to install the rough-in and perform the
pressure test. The dust cover should be re-installed after the pressure test to
protect the DISS connections until the wall covering (drywall, paint etc.) is
complete.
3. The DISS risers are shipped loose and must be installed in the back box.
4. Adjustable depth mounting flanges (top & bottom) should be utilized to align
front edge of box to be flush with the drywall surface.
5. The center of the rough-in box should be 60” in height above the finished floor.
Fasten the back box to horizontal braces installed between the studs so that the
front edge of the rough in box will be flush or slightly recessed with the finished
wall covering.
6. Before brazing, remove the plastic tube caps from the DISS assembly (risers)
copper extensions. DISS assemblies must be installed in accordance with
“Installation of Inlet and Outlet DISS Assemblies” above.
7. The system must be tested (per appropriate standards) to ensure that no cross-
connections have been made. The system must be tested (per appropriate
standards) for leaks. Note: Pressure in the system will increase or decrease with
temperature rise or fall.

Sleep Lab Panel Installation
(Continued)
5. After the system passes the leak test, install the labels provided in the
back box paying careful attention to the direction of the gas flow (left to
right, or right to left). The direction of flow affects where you place Inlet
and Outlet Labels in the back box.
6. After the wall covering is complete, the dust cover may be removed
from the rough-in box and the hose assemblies and front panel may be
installed.
7. Make sure the hose assemblies are attached to the appropriate inlet/flow
meter connection point, and outlet/flow meter connection point. Failing
to do so may affect the patient and the sleep lab test results.
Note: Sleep Lab Panels me be plumbed in either direction – with the
patient (use) side on left or the right.
8. When all connections are complete and leak tested with an oxygen
compatible leak test solution, fasten the sleep lab front panel to the back
box with the four #8-32 x ¾” screws provided.
9. On the front panel, label each flowmeter in the space provided with the
sleep room it controls (label not provided). See Appendix A
WARNING: Mis-connection of the gases could lead to serious or fatal injury to
patients. Following installation, medical gas lines must be tested for cross-
connection (per appropriate standards) to ensure that the intended services are
correctly connected to the appropriate service lines.
WARNING: Make certain the labeling coincides with the gas service, and areas
controlled by the Sleep Lab Panel and that it is easily read.
