European foreword
This document (EN 15202:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 286 “Liquefied
petroleum gas equipment and accessories”, the secretariat of which is held by NSAI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2020, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 15202:2012.

According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,

Introduction
The primary objective of this document is to ensure the safe connection of LPG cylinder valves to their
connectors.
This document is the fundamental source for identifying the essential manufacturing dimensions of the
LPG cylinder valve connections used in Europe.
EN 16129 is the fundamental source for identifying the essential manufacturing dimensions of connector
types that are not used in LPG cylinder valve connections.
This document identifies the existing cylinder valves and the connectors that are currently in use with
LPG.
It is the intention that only connections which are identified in this document should be used with LPG
cylinder valves.
1 Scope
This document specifies basic connection dimensions of LPG cylinder valves (manufactured in
accordance with EN ISO 14245 and EN ISO 15995) and connectors (including pressure regulators) to
enable them to be safely connected together.
NOTE 1 Figure 1 (type G.1) to Figure 19 (type G.33) give the types of threaded outlet connections.
NOTE 2 Figure 20 (type G.50) to Figure 34 (type G.66) give the types of non-threaded outlet connections.
This document lists potentially unsafe connections where it might be possible to connect together, but
which, when connected, might not be sound or secure in some operating conditions or orientations.
This document specifies a marking system that is intended to ensure that only valves and connecters that
are marked with the same connector type number are used in combination.
This document also recommends tightening torques for the attachment of screwed metal-to-metal
connections.
Quality assurance systems, production testing and particularly certificates of conformity are not covered
in this document.
This document excludes connections for automotive vehicles covered by UN/ECE Regulation No. 67
Part 1 and EN 13760.
This document excludes connections for gas cartridges covered by EN 417.

5 Design
The dimensions shall be in accordance with those given in the following figures.
The travel distance of the valve operating mechanisms is identified where required.
The drawings show the location of sealing elements where required.
Any hexagon nut with a left hand (LH) thread shall, for easy identification, have notches (for example a
60° V groove) midway at the corners of each adjoining spanner flat. Where concentricity and surface
finish are not specified, the requirements shall be as specified by the manufacturer.
New valve/connection proposals shall not make an unsafe connection or interference fit with the valves
and connectors shown in this document.
NOTE The figure titles contain connection type numbers preceded by the letter “G” to maintain consistency
with EN 12864.
