               Re:  Allied Healthcare Products, Inc.
                    1994 Employee Stock Option Plan

Dear Sirs:

     We have acted as counsel to Allied  Healthcare  Products,  Inc., a Delaware
corporation  (the  "Company"),  in connection  with the  Company's  Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the  "Registration  Statement") filed with the Securities
and Exchange  Commission  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  for the
registration  of 300,000 shares of the Company's  common stock,  $0.01 par value
per share (the "Common Stock"), issuable upon the exercise of stock options (the
"Stock  Options")  granted under the Company's  1994 Employee  Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan"). The Common Stock represents  authorized and unissued shares of the
Company's  common stock.  

     We have  examined and are familiar with  originals or copies,  certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction,  of such documents,  corporate records
and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of
this opinion. 

     On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

     (i) the Company has taken all necessary  corporate  action to authorize the
         issuance of the Common Stock;


<PAGE>

     (ii) the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of the Stock
Options  are  validly  authorized  and when  issued,  delivered  and paid for in
accordance  with the terms of the Plan,  the shares of Common  Stock so issuable
will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     No opinion is  expressed  herein as to the laws of any  jurisdiction  other
than the  federal  laws of the  United  States of  America  and,  to the  extent
required by the foregoing opinion,  the General  Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.

     The  foregoing   opinion  is  delivered  to  you  in  connection  with  the
Registration  Statement,  and may not be relied upon by any other  person or for
any other purpose.

     We hereby  consent  to the  filing of this  opinion  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration Statement.

                                                Very truly yours,

                                                /s/ Dickstein Shapiro Morin &
