Station Outlet (USA) or Terminal Unit (ISO, CSA) consists of outlet port with color-coded faceplate attached to medical gas supply line, and primary and secondary inspection valves that open and close automatically after use and disconnect from the system. In most areas, Station Outlet must be equipped with a security system that prevents cross-connections, such as connecting the Medical air flowmeter to the Oxygen port. Hospitals primarily use DISS connections, although a variety of quick-connect adapters, based on male strikes and female outlet ports, are still in use today. This latter type is easier to connect, but more vulnerable to leaks and failures.

Indeks Diameter Sistem Keamanan (DISS)
The Diameter Index Security System, or DISS, is designed by the Association of Compressed Gas specifically for medical gas at 200 psig or less. It uses a unique, special gas threaded connection to adjust the equipment to the outlet station. It is also used to connect additional features to equipment, such as in fixing suction canister to suction (medical vacuum) regulator. Although DISS requires more time to affix, this has become the most popular choice because threaded connections can not escape themselves.
Puritan-Bennett
The Puritan-Bennett/Beacon fast connection system uses a geometric-code probe. The equipment is released by pressing, and releasing, a button on the station socket. A persistent effort to remove equipment while pressing a button has the potential to cause damage that causes latching/connection malfunctions.
Ohio Diamond
Female outlet ports for the Ohio/Medaes system consist of discs with slots placed in a position unique to each particular gas. After insertion, the male batter may be released by rotating the inlet so as to activate the release mechanism of the spring. The flat outlet port ensures no injury if the patient or health worker has to fall to the wall; considerations when dealing with the mentally ill or those with neuro or musculodegenerative disorders. However, the twisting of the release mechanism may result in wiring or other equipment in a crowded area.
NCG/Chemetron
The NCG system resembles a simple electrical plug in appearance. Although it is very easy to connect and disconnect, this advantage poses a risk because it must be released by accident. In addition, the straight valve does not allow for connection flowmeters, requiring the purchase and use of additional equipment.
Hansen Schrader
This unusual system consists of strikers and steel ports. The port has a spring collar, which will be pulled back to show a series of balls located on the inner lips of the port. The positions of these balls are specific to each gas. At this point, the male striker can be included. There is the possibility of this system never been caught due to lack of color codes and labels, along with the difficulty involving strikers.
It consists of a steel striker ("bayonet") with a hole for the inlet port. Like keys, strikers have grooves and bulges in variable positions. They do not have color codes and are easily removed.
