SR EN 1254-1:2021

This document specifies product characteristics, assessment methods, compliance criteria of the test results and a designation system for fittings with ends for capillary soldering or capillary brazing for connecting with copper tubes e.g. EN 1057, EN 13348, EN 13349, EN 12735-1, EN 12735-2 etc. For the purposes of joining copper tubes, the fitting ends have a nominal diameter from 6 mm to 108 mm. These fitting ends exist in three forms: end feed fittings, integral solder and integral brazing ring fitting ends. The fittings are designed for a service lifetime up to fifty years. The fittings are used up to the operating temperatures and corresponding maximum operating pressures as indicated in Annex A. This document applies to copper alloy fittings. A non-exhaustive list of these copper alloys is given in CEN/TS 13388. The capillary fittings for soldering or brazing to copper tubes are used with solder alloys in accordance with alloys specified in EN ISO 9453 and brazing alloys in accordance with alloys specified in EN ISO 17672. Adaptor fittings for use with copper tubes may c
