Medical gas utility stand

A medical gas utility stand comprising:

• a) a base having an upper surface and an opposed lower surface;
• b) a support member having a top end, a bottom end, and a longitudinal length extending between the top end and the bottom end, the bottom end connected to the upper surface of the base so that the support member extends substantially upright therefrom;
• c) a gas connection member having a first surface, an opposing second surface, and at least one gas conduit having an input end and an opposing output end and defining a gas passage extending between the input end and the output end, the gas conduit extending through the gas connection member from the first surface to the second surface, the gas connection member fixedly connected to the support member adjacent its top end;
• and
• d) at least one pair of identical gas fittings, each gas fitting having an attachment end, an opposing securing end, and defining a bore extending between the attachment end and the securing end, the securing ends of one pair of identical gas fittings detachably secured to the opposing input end and output end of one gas conduit so that the bores of the pair of identical gas fittings are in communication with the gas passage of the gas conduit,
• wherein the attachment end of the gas fitting that is detachably secured within the input end of the gas conduit is detachably secured to one gas conduit line so that the attachment end of the gas fitting detachably secured within the opposing output end of the gas conduit is in fluid communication with one medical gas source.
