This European Standard is applicable to mechanical disconnector direct actuated in nominal sizes DN 8 up to DN 250 included, intended to prevent the return of water having lost its original sanitary and drinking qualities (called "polluted water" in this European Standard), into the potable water distribution system whenever the pressure of the latter is temporarily lower than in the polluted circuit.
This European Standard covers the mechanical disconnector direct actuated of PN 10 that are capable of working without modification or adjustment:
- at any pressure up to 1 MPa (10 bar);
- with any pressure variation up to 1 MPa (10 bar);
- in permanent duty at a limit temperature of 65 °C and 90 °C for 1 h maximum.

Diese Europäische Norm legt die maßlichen und physikalisch-chemischen Anforderungen, die Anforderungen
an die Konstruktion, die hydraulischen, mechanischen und akustischen Anforderungen an nicht durchflussgesteuerte
Rohrtrenner, Familie G, Typ A, fest.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für nicht durchflussgesteuerte Rohrtrenner der Nennweiten DN 8 bis DN 250, die
verhindern sollen, dass Wasser, das seine ursprüngliche Qualität für sanitäre Zwecke und als Trinkwasser
verloren hat (in dieser Europäischen Norm -verunreinigtes Wasser- genannt) in das Trinkwasserversorgungsnetz
zurückfließt, wenn der Druck in diesem Netz vorübergehend niedriger ist als in dem verunreinigten
Kreislauf.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt die nicht durchflussgesteuerten Rohrtrenner mit PN 10, die ohne Abänderung
oder Nachstellung funktionsfähig sind:
- bei jedem Druck bis 1 MPa (10 bar);
- bei jeder Druckschwankung bis 1 MPa (10 bar);
- unter Dauerbelastung bei einer Grenztemperatur von 65 °C sowie bei 90 °C für höchstens 1 h.
Diese Norm legt ferner die Prüfverfahren und die Anforderungen für den Nachweis dieser Eigenschaften, die
Kennzeichnung und den Lieferzustand fest.

distribution d'eau potable lorsque la pression dans ce dernier est temporairement plus faible que dans le
circuit pollué.
La présente Norme européenne couvre les disconnecteurs mécaniques à action directe de PN 10 pouvant
fonctionner sans modification ni réglage :
- à toute pression jusqu'à 1 MPa (10 bar) ;
- pour toute variation de pression jusqu'à 1 MPa (10 bar) ;
- en service continu à une température limite de 65 °C, et à 90 °C pendant une durée allant jusqu'à 1 h.
Elle spécifie également les méthodes d'essai et les exigences pour vérifier leurs caractéristiques, le marquage
et la présentation à la livraison.

A visible mark is not sufficient. b) Additional control devices (electrical, pneumatic etc.) shall not influence the safety function. c) The settings of the springs shall be fixed and not adjustable. d) The device shall comprise one pressure tapping and a visible indication on the device when the obturator is in the drain position. The pressure tapping is located on the inlet of the device. e) Only the pressure of the water of the supply system at the inlet can operate the control of the internal components of the device. 8.2 Relief valve Under normal service conditions p1 > ps the relief valve is closed. At an inlet pressure p1 ≤ ps the relief valve starts opening and at a pressure p1 ≤ po the relief valve is in drain position. There shall be a visible indication on the device, when the obturator is in the drain position. In all the installation positions indicated by the manufacturer, any water retention shall not be possible within the intermediate zone. SIST EN 13433:2006
