This part of EN 1254 specifies press end connections with or without plating or coating in the size range 10 mm to 110 mm for the purpose of joining plastics and multilayer pipes for use in hot and cold water systems according to EN 806, which are designed for service lifetime up to fifty years, as well as heating and cooling systems or gas systems, including fuel gas systems. Fittings may comprise a combination of end types, specified in this European Standard, EN 1254, or other standards, providing they are suitable for the fluid / gas being conveyed. The European Standard establishes a designation system for the fittings.

EXAMPLE For 15 mm nominal diameter compression end for copper tube with 0,8 mm wall thickness, area of bore = 141,0 mm2. Permissible area of bore through an internal support with sealing element (from table) = 30 % × 141,0 mm2 = 42,3 mm2. Therefore internal diameter of the internal support = 7,3 mm. Permissible area of bore through an internal support without sealing element (from table)= 50 % × 141,0 mm2 = 70,5 mm2. Therefore internal diameter of the internal support = 9,5 mm.
