A rail system is provided having a rail with one or more passageways extending therein, which passageways are adapted to provide a conduit for fluid flow therethrough, for example, air, oxygen and vacuum, which are particularly useful in emergency rooms and operating rooms of hospitals in order to provide ready access at convenient locations to the fluid flow available in the rail system. The rail may be removably mounted by plates mounted every six to eight feet along a wall which are attached to inner grooves extending along the top and bottom surfaces of the rail near the edges of the upper and lower corners. Likewise, other equipment useful for emergency or operating room procedures may be attached by clamps in aligned outer grooves along the same rail carrying the fluid flow. Couplings are provided to the passageways in the rail system which extend to the external sources of fluid flow conducted by the passageways in the rail and access is provided to the passageways in the rail at convenient locations along the rail to make the fluid flow conduction in the rail convenient for the user.
