Hi gents looking for some information regarding the regulations on what height suction canisters should be mounted on a hospital wall?
When I look around the hospitals most of the ports look to be installed at a regular height but then find the collection jars/canisters are all at different levels.
If anyone is aware of any papers,guidelines or legal documents relating to the installation could you please let me know.

See this .pdf.

Also HTM-02-001(A) (which, although good in general, does not actually answer your question)!

Many thanks Geoff for your reply, most appreciated.

Yes the htm has set height a layout guidance including the position and terminal out let run. Good luck
