Why certification matters

Medical gas systems are life-safety systems. NFPA 99 and California Title 22 require that installation be performed by certified personnel — not just any licensed plumber. ASSE 6010 certification means the installer has been trained, tested, and credentialed specifically for medical gas work. It's the difference between a facility that passes inspection and one that doesn't.

Frequently asked

What is ASSE 6010 certification?

ASSE 6010 is the nationally recognized certification for medical gas system installers, issued through the American Society of Sanitary Engineering. It covers the installation of oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical air, vacuum, and other piped medical gas systems per NFPA 99 standards.

Is ASSE 6010 certification required in California?

Yes. California Title 22 and NFPA 99 require that medical gas piping be installed by personnel with specific medical gas certification. A standard C-36 plumbing license alone is not sufficient.

Do you serve the full Central Coast for medical gas work?

Yes — we serve San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties for medical gas installation and renovation projects.

Can you work on existing medical gas systems in occupied facilities?

Yes. We coordinate with facility managers to plan work around patient care schedules and follow all NFPA 99 requirements for work in occupied healthcare environments.

Straight Answers

What medical gas systems do you install and certify?

We install and verify oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical compressed air, medical vacuum, and WAGD (waste anesthesia gas disposal) systems, along with zone valve boxes, alarm panels, and outlet/inlet stations. All work follows NFPA 99 and is performed by ASSE 6010 certified installers, with pressure and flow testing documented for your records.

We serve hospitals, surgery centers, dental offices, and assisted living facilities across San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. Call (805) 788-8444 to discuss a new installation or renovation.

Who is allowed to work on medical gas piping in California?

Only installers holding medical gas certification — ASSE 6010 under the ASSE Series 6000 standard — may legally install medical gas piping in California. NFPA 99 and California Title 22 require it, and a standard C-36 plumbing license alone is not sufficient. Verification testing must be performed by an ASSE 6030 verifier independent of the installer.

MPP holds both the C-36 license and ASSE 6010 installer certification, and we coordinate independent third-party verification so your system passes inspection the first time.

Can you renovate medical gas systems while our facility stays open?

Yes. We routinely work in occupied healthcare facilities, coordinating with facility managers and infection control to phase shutdowns around patient care. NFPA 99 requires a documented risk assessment and permit-to-work process for any system outage — we handle that planning and communicate schedules to all affected departments.

Emergency shutoff coordination, temporary supply where needed, and after-hours tie-ins are all part of how we keep your facility operational during the work. Call (805) 788-8444 to plan your project.

What Our Customers Say

I highly recommend Modern Perspective Plumbing! I called, and they were able to send someone to my house in a very short amount of time. Ed was friendly, personable, and easy to work with. He explained everything clearly, did great work, and the pricing was fair. It's so refreshing to find a company that provides excellent customer service and quality work. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again or recommend them to others.

Eddie was able to squeeze me into his schedule fast to help me with a bathroom remodel that I had already started demo on before I called him. When he showed up, he saw my old type M copper coming up from under the slab and advised me to replace that before it failed like half of my neighbors. He re-piped the house and the new bathroom within a couple days. Very clean and professional, highly recommend Eddie and Modern Perspective.
Sean DeeGoogle review
The team at Modern Perspective Plumbing are top of the line. Excellent quality work and even better human beings. Our old water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced. MPP visited same day to check out the situation. Eddie replaced it the very next morning after I finished water damage remediation. They've earned our future business and recommendation. Give 'em a call; they'll take care of you.
