Rubber and plastics hoses, tubing and assemblies for use with propane and butane and their mixture in the vapour phase - Part 1: Hoses and tubings
This European Standard specifies the characteristics and performance requirements for tubing and hoses made of either rubber or plastics for use with commercial propane and commercial butane and mixtures thereof, in the vapour phase, for connection of appliances, from: - pressurized gas container to a regulating device, - pressurized gas container to an appliance, - regulating device to an appliance, and - regulating device to installation pipework, in environments of a temperature range from –30 °C to +70 °C. Working pressures are from 0 bar to 30 bar. Three classes are defined in Table 1 according to the maximum working pressures and minimum ambient temperatures. This European Standard only covers the tubing or hose part of assemblies. The assemblies themselves will be covered by EN 16436-2. This European Standard does not apply to hoses for: - welding purposes (see EN ISO 3821, EN 1327); - propulsion purposes; - LPG transfer purposes (see EN 1762).

Overview
EN 16436-1:2014/FprA1:2015 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies the requirements for rubber and plastic hoses and tubing designed for use with commercial propane, butane, and their vapour-phase mixtures. This standard addresses the performance, safety, and operational characteristics of hoses used in gas delivery systems within a temperature range of –30 °C to +70 °C and working pressures from 0 to 30 bar. It is intended to ensure the reliability and safety of gas connections in various appliances and devices handling LPG vapours.
This standard covers hoses and tubing used for connections between:
- Pressurized gas containers and regulating devices
- Pressurized gas containers and appliances
- Regulating devices and appliances
- Regulating devices and installation pipework
EN 16436-1:2014/FprA1:2015 applies exclusively to hose and tubing components, while assemblies that include these hoses are addressed in EN 16436-2. Note that this standard does not apply to hoses used for welding, propulsion, or LPG transfer purposes, which are covered by other specific standards.
Key Topics
- Material Specifications: Covers hoses made from rubber or plastic, with or without reinforcement, suitable for propane and butane vapour.
- Performance Requirements: Hoses must meet strict criteria regarding pressure resistance, flexibility, temperature tolerance, and safety.
- Classification: Defines three distinct classes tied to maximum working pressures and minimum ambient temperatures, enabling users to select hoses appropriate for specific conditions.
- Application Temperature Range: Suitable for use in environments from –30 °C to +70 °C ensuring durability and reliability across varying climates.
- Pressure Ratings: Accommodates working pressures from 0 up to 30 bar, covering a wide range of domestic and commercial applications.
- Safety Exclusions: Excludes hoses for welding (refer to EN ISO 3821, EN 1327), propulsion systems, and LPG transfer (refer to EN 1762).
Applications
EN 16436-1:2014/FprA1:2015 is critical for manufacturers, installers, and users of LPG equipment requiring safe and efficient hose connections. Common applications include:
- Domestic LPG appliance hook-ups, such as gas stoves, heaters, and barbecue grills.
- Commercial and industrial gas installations where propane and butane vapours are used.
- LPG systems connecting pressurized containers to regulating devices ensuring safe gas delivery.
- Installation pipework connections requiring compliant hose and tubing components within regulated pressure and temperature limits.
By complying with this standard, end-users benefit from enhanced safety, performance reliability, and regulatory conformity in gas hose installations involving propane and butane vapours.
Related Standards
For comprehensive LPG hose and system installation, EN 16436-1 should be used in conjunction with several related standards, including:
- EN 16436-2: Covers hose assemblies including fittings essential for complete LPG hose solutions.
- EN ISO 3821 and EN 1327: Standards for hoses used in welding applications, excluded from EN 16436-1 scope.
- EN 1762: Applies to hoses specifically designed for LPG transfer, outside the coverage of EN 16436-1.
- UNI 7140 (Italy): National regulations impacting the use of specific classes of tubing for gas appliance connections.
Summary
EN 16436-1:2014/FprA1:2015 is a foundational European Standard setting the benchmark for rubber and plastic LPG hoses and tubing used with propane and butane vapours. It ensures consistent product quality, safety, and performance for LPG gas delivery applications across the EU, supporting robust gas installation practices within defined temperature and pressure limits. Compliance with this standard assures users and manufacturers of adherence to established safety and engineering principles for LPG hose usage.
