EVS-EN 12842:2012

This European Standard specifies the requirements and associated test methods applicable to ductile iron fittings, ductile iron and mild steel couplings and flange adaptors and their joints to be used with poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) pipes or polyethylene (PE) pipes. It is in conformity with EN 1452-1 to -5, ENV 1452-6 and - 7 and EN 12201-1 to -5 respectively, for the construction of pipelines: - to convey water (e.g. water intended for human consumption); - with or without pressure; - to be installed below or above ground, inside or outside buildings. This European Standard is not intended to cover sewerage applications, where additional requirements may be necessary. This European Standard is applicable to fittings which are: - manufactured with socketed, flanged or spigot ends; - supplied externally and internally coated; - suitable for PE and PVC-U pipes with fluid temperatures between 0°C and 25°C, excluding frost, and for pressures up to 16 bar (PFA). For higher temperatures (up to 45°C for PVC-U or 40°C for PE) the PFA is derated as given in EN 1452 and EN 12201; - not intended for use in areas subjected to reaction to fire regulations.
