The contractor will install a suitable medical air compressor capable of supplying the required airflow to all cabinets. The compressor will be located in the basement, with medical air piped to the cabinet locations.

The installation must comply with the current 2024 NFPA99 Standards for medical gas systems. The Advantage Plus EndoDry Cabinets require a minimum of 4.2 SCFM of air at 100 PSI per unit, resulting in a combined airflow requirement of 29.4 SCFM for all seven units. The installed compressor must supply 30-35 SCFM at 100 PSI and feature a triplex configuration for enhanced reliability and redundancy, ensuring continuous operation and load sharing. The compressor will be installed per manufacturers recommendations, in the Basement Mechanical Room (BD-114), providing adequate space and minimal demolition. Fresh air intake will be routed outside through a concrete wall, sealed to ensure a watertight and bug-tight fit. A new concrete pad will be poured in the Basement Mechanical Room BD-114 as the base for the air compressor, with isolators installed and the unit securely anchored. One wall-mounted service sink faucet will be removed, and a new floor drain will be installed. The new floor drain will be installed in accordance with VA plumbing standards; the contractor is responsible for all related cutting, connection, and finishing. Piping will be routed vertically through three floors to the Operating/Surgery section and one floor to the Digestive/Endoscopy section. Most horizontal piping will be run through the basement to minimize hospital operation interruptions. The contractor shall route new medical air piping and electrical conduits through the existing utility chase in the designated stairwell area, per the drawings. No new chase construction, enlargement, or modification is required. The contractor shall field-verify all electrical requirements and provide any necessary electrical upgrades.

Fire-rated wall penetrations will be properly sealed in accordance with code requirements. Installation will be completed per NFPA99, and a third-party verifier will conduct final inspection to confirm proper pressure and purity, providing certification documentation once completed. The system will be tied into the master alarm panel, including all required alarm points.
