American Response Vehicles side) in the aisle. The longitudinal location will be set 30 inches measured from the backrest of the attendant's seat (set all the way toward the front of the patient cabin) to the head of the primary cot frame, per current KKK-A-1822. PRIMARY COT POSITION REINFORCEMENT: There will be a singular piece of aluminum reinforcement installed running the length of the primary cot position in the modular ambulance. It will be secured to the modular tubes by welding or Huck fasteners. PRIMARY COT: The aforementioned cot fastener will be set up to use a Stryker Model No. Power -Pro Cot. COT HOOK: A Stryker Cot hook for the power load system of solid aluminum will be through bolted to the power load system near the rear access doors. The design intent is to prevent accidental cot roll off during loading and unloading a one man cot. The hook will snag a tubular drag bar that is built into the cot frame. The cot hook will be placed in a position where the under carriage of the cot can be erected and locked into place before release of the drag bar. OXYGEN, AIR and VACUUM SYSTEMS OXYGEN HOSES: All oxygen system service hoses, fittings and devices will be made of nonferrous materials. Hoses used to pipe Medical Oxygen will be electrically non-conductive, % inside diameter with an abrasion resistant, green colored outer jacket. The hose manufacturers name, part number, inside dimension and working pressure rating will be permanently marked along the entire length of the hose. All hoses will have a working pressure rating of at least 250 pounds per square inch, withstand a system test pressure of 150 PSI / 1033 kPa test prescribed in current Federal specification KKK-A-1822. Each ambulance will be tested. OXYGEN OUTLETS - GENERAL: Each outlet will be comprised of an "Inlet Box" and a "Latch Plate" as defined herein. The "inlet box" will be a universal inlet service box with a 165 mm type "K" 9.5 mm (3/8") OD Copper inlet pipe stub which is silver brazed to a brass, one piece, 33 mm (15/16") inlet body. The "inlet box" will be designed specifically for positive pressure gas service and feature a primary and secondary check valve. Each check valve will be rated at 1,379 kPa (200psi). The "Latch Plate" will insert into the universal "Inlet Box". The "Latch Plate" is comprised of the outer cover plate and latching mechanism that will define the adapter type/Brand that will ultimately connect the patient to the oxygen system. The outlet cover will be color coded GREEN in addition to having a clear permanent legend that identifies the gas type. Dual gas specific safety pins will be integrated in the face of the outlet "Latch Plate" for safety. Outlet adapter types will be easily changed by simply removing the "Latch plate" specifically designed for brand "A" to brand "B" without any further plumbing changes. As with all medical gas outlets specified herein, all outlets will be hydrostatically tested and cleaned for oxygen service. All medical gas outlets specified herein will be UL (Underwriters Laboratory) listed and CSA approved. All outlets will be subject to a line pressure of 50 PSI And will be leak tested at 150 PSI Per federal specification KKK-A-1822E 4.4.6. Pressure drop across the outlet will be less than 2.0 PSI At normal working pressure.
