DISS = Diameter Index Safety System. These fittings are designed to prevent errors and standardized connections. Only oxygen DISS male threads will match female oxygen DISS threads. Nitrous oxide and other gases each have their own thread patterns.
What is a diss adapter?
Diameter Index Safety System Medical Gas Fittings The Compressed Gas Association (CGA) developed the Diameter-Index Safety system (DISS) to establish a standard for non-interchangeable, removable connections for use with Medical Gases, Instrument Air, Vacuum (Suction), and WAGD (Waste Anesthetic Gas Disposal).
What is NIST connector?

What device uses a diameter index safety system?
It is used in conjunction with individual gas lines of medical gas administering equipment at pressures of 200 psig or less. This includes outlets from medical gas regulators and connectors for anesthesia, resuscitation and therapy apparatus.
What is a diss valve?
Ultra-High Integrity Services Connections, DISS, are used for connecting items of gas handling equipment (such as pressure regulators or pigtails) directly to the cylinder valve outlet of a semiconductor/high-purity gas cylinder.
What is the diameter index safety system?
The DIAMETER-INDEX SAFETY SYSTEM was developed as a standard to provide non-interchangeable connections where removable, exposed, threaded connections are employed. It is used in conjunction with individual gas lines of medical gas administering equipment at pressures of 200 psig or less.
What is DISS in med gas?
The Compressed Gas Association (CGA) developed the Diameter-Index Safety system (DISS) to establish a standard for non-interchangeable, removable connections for use with Medical Gases, Instrument Air, Vacuum (Suction), and WAGD (Waste Anesthetic Gas Disposal).
What is a diss connection?
Diameter Index Safety System (DISS) It uses unique, gas-specific threaded connections to fit equipment to station outlets. It is also used for the connection of additional features to equipment, such as in fixing a suction canister to a suction (Medical vacuum) regulator.
What is diss gasket?
“DISS” is an acronym for “Diameter Index Safety System.” DISS connections including nipples, gaskets, adapters, caps, nuts, and plugs. CSI Innovations Group has delivered Ultra High Purity (UHP) gaskets for over 9 years with a perfect, 'zero defect' track record.
What is a NIST valve?
NIST Lockable Line Valves are manufactured in accordance with Quality Management System BS EN 13485 for medical devices. Each valve can be locked in the open or closed position using a padlock through the handles locking mechanism. All NIST Connectors have self sealing check valves and Blanking Caps.
