    Ok, I'll bite:


    There is an annex related to 3.3.104 that suggests manufactured assemblies are headwalls, columns, booms, etc.  I've always viewed them as an assembly built with other medical gas components in them such as outlets, or even alarms or zone valves. 


    However, I've also heard that certain zone valves are being classified as a manufactured assembly?
