This European Standard specifies the requirements for pipes, fittings and the system of polyethylene (PE) solid-wall piping systems intended to be used for general purpose buried ducting.
It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this standard.
prEN 14284 is applicable to PE pipes and fittings, their joints and to joints with components of other plastics and non-plastics materials intended to be used for general purpose buried ducting.
This standard covers a range of nominal sizes and gives recommendations concerning colours.
NOTE 1 It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selection from these aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes.
prEN 14284 is applicable to solid-wall PE pipes of the following types:
- with plain ends;
- with cylindrical socket;
- with tapered push-fit socket;
- with ring seal socket.
Pipes having a coating for internal lubrication, a colour coating or a coating for other identification purposes are covered by this standard. Multi-layer pipes are not subject to this standard.
The fittings are fabricated from pipes and/or mouldings.
Pipes and fittings with nominal outside diameters specified in Annex A are to be tested in accordance with this standard.
NOTE 2 Pipes, fittings and other components conforming to any of the product standards listed in the bibliography can be used with pipes and fittings conforming to this standard, provided they conform to the requirements for joint dimensions given in clause 6 and to the requirements of table 10.
Pipes and fittings of PE for buried cable ducting are covered by prEN 14281.
