Common Questions
Dental Plumbing FAQs
Dental practices require specialized systems that most plumbers never encounter: dental vacuum systems (completely different from building HVAC), compressed air that must be oil-free and dry, medical gas piping for nitrous oxide and oxygen, and equipment-specific connections that must match manufacturer specs. Standard commercial plumbers install sinks and toilets—dental plumbing requires understanding how dental equipment actually works.
Dental vacuum systems are sized based on the number of operatories and simultaneous use factor. Generally, you need 10-12 CFM per operatory with proper calculations for peak demand. The vacuum pump, line sizing, and layout all affect performance. Undersized systems result in weak suction; oversized systems waste energy. We calculate requirements based on your specific operatory count and equipment.
Yes. We install complete nitrous oxide and oxygen delivery systems including manifolds, copper piping, zone valve boxes, and operatory outlets. All medical gas installations are done to NFPA 99 standards and properly tested and certified before use.
Absolutely. Whether you’re installing new equipment or connecting to existing chairs and systems, we’ll ensure plumbing meets the specific requirements. Our manufacturer training covers all major brands, so we know the connection specifications for A-dec, Midmark, Planmeca, Air Techniques, and other equipment.
We provide dental plumbing services throughout New York City (all five boroughs), Westchester County, Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk), and Northern New Jersey.
