Adaptable Gas and Power Services

Flexible solutions with flexible hoses, cables, and quick-connect gas fittings. This is the concept with an adaptable laboratory furniture system like Forte™. In today's laboratories, bringing most services to the furniture from the ceiling has become an accepted practice. This distribution through the ceiling grid allows you to access later and relocate services if needed, allowing your lab to adapt to new equipment and technology with minimal downtime and cost. For more information please refer to Fixtures and Fittings
