EN 1254-1 Copper and Copper Alloys - Capillary Fittings for Brazing or Brazing to Copper Pipes

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1254-1 testing. This standard specifies product specifications, evaluation methods, conformity criteria for test results, and an identification system for fittings with capillary soldering or capillary soldering tips for connection with copper pipes.

For the purpose of joining copper pipes, the fitting ends have a nominal diameter of 6 mm to 108 mm. These connectors come in three forms: tip feed connectors, integral solder, and integrated soldering ring connectors. The fittings are designed for a service life of up to fifty years.

For use with copper tubing, adapter fittings can connect capillary brazing or capillary brazing tips with terminals defined in other parts of EN 1254. The products covered by this standard are intended for use in the following areas:

Liquid applications:

• Hot, cold or combined hot and cold water, including systems conforming to EN 806;
• Closed heating systems according to EN 12828;
• Cooling Systems;
• drainage systems;
• Fire protection systems, including sprinkler systems, according to EN 12845;
