Abstract: A headwall unit mountable to at least one wall support member, the at least one wall support member having a wall supporting surface for receiving wall material. The headwall unit includes a frame comprising a back plate mountable to the at least one wall support member so as to overlie the wall supporting surface, the back plate having at least one back port for receiving a medical service carrier through the back plate; and a faceplate attachable to the frame such that the faceplate is spaced apart from the back plate and defines a space therebetween for receiving a fixture, the fixture being connectable to the medical service carrier for supplying a medical service.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling fluid flow in a medical facility includes a plurality of remotely controlled zone valves. Each zone valve is coupled to a respective fluid conduit for opening and closing the fluid conduit to control fluid flow therethrough. The apparatus also includes an access terminal installed in a user-accessible location that is located remotely from the zone valves. For example, the zone valve may be located in a ceiling, and the access terminal may be located on a wall. The access terminal has an input interface for receiving instructions to open and close the zone valves, an output device for communicating with the zone valves to remotely open and close each zone valve based on the received instructions, and an alarm for indicating when at least one of the zone valves is closed.
