Hey I'm new to the forum. A question was posed to me about medical gas nitrous oxide (anesthesia) being heavier than air and thus requiring electrical outlets to be installed higher than normal due to the flammibility potential. Anyone have any knowledge of this?

Nitrous Oxide an oxidizer, not a fuel. One application for it is in auto racing as a more concentrated source of oxygen to boost engine power. There are many other anesthetics that are flammable.
