Abstract

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486-4:2016 specifies the characteristics of valves made from unplasticized polyamide (PA-U) in accordance with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486‑1, intended to be buried and used for the supply of gaseous fuels.

Valves made from other material than unplasticized polyamide designed for the supply of gaseous fuels conforming to the relevant standards are permitted to be used in PA-U piping system according to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486 provided they have relevant PA-U connections for butt fusion or electrofusion ends (see Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486‑3). The component, i.e. the complete valve, shall fulfil the requirements of this part of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486.

It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this part of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486.

It is applicable to bi-directional valves with spigot end or electrofusion socket intended to be jointed with PA-U pipes conforming to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486‑2 without any fittings or with PA-U fittings conforming to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486‑3.

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486-4:2016 covers valves for pipes with a nominal outside diameter, dn, ≤250 mm.
