Overview
EN 16722:2015 - published by CEN - defines the end-to-end (ETE) and centre-to-end (CTE) dimensions for industrial valves with threaded/screwed ends whose connecting threads comply with EN ISO 228-1 or EN 10226-1. The standard covers valves used in PN (pressure nominal) and ASME/Class designated piping systems and provides basic dimension series, tolerances, and application-specific series for common valve types.
Key facts:
- Standard: EN 16722:2015 (CEN)
- Scope: ETE and CTE dimensions for valves with threaded ends
- PN range: PN 10, 16, 25, 40, 63, 100, 160, 250, 320, 400
- Class range: Class 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, 2500
- Nominal sizes (DN): DN 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 65, 80, 100
Key Topics and Requirements
- Basic dimension series: Table 1 lists the basic series of lengths (l) for ETE and CTE applicable to valve types. Annex B explains origin of series.
- Valve-type series: Specific series selections for gate, ball, globe, lift-check, three-way valves and automatic steam traps are given in Tables 3–7.
- Tolerances: Tolerances on ETE and CTE dimensions are specified by size ranges (see Table 2), ensuring interchangeability and consistent installation space.
- Thread compatibility: Connectors are referenced to EN ISO 228-1 and EN 10226-1; Annex A maps DN to internal thread designations (and includes ASME NPT equivalence).
- Definitions and figures: Terms such as ETE, CTE and ETE+CTE are defined and illustrated to remove ambiguity.
- Informative annexes: Annex C provides DN to NPS relationship for systems that mix metric and imperial pipe sizes.
Applications and Users
EN 16722 is intended for:
- Valve manufacturers and designers - to standardize face-to-face and centre-to-end lengths for threaded-end valve product families.
- Piping and mechanical engineers - for accurate layout, spool piece and support design in PN/Class systems.
- Procurement and specification writers - to reference compliant dimensions in tenders and product procurement.
- Maintenance and installation teams - to ensure replacement valves fit existing threaded connections without rework.
Practical benefits include improved interchangeability, simplified piping layout, and reduced risk of misfit during retrofits or new installations.
Related Standards
Commonly used with:
- EN ISO 228-1 (pipe threads not pressure-tight)
- EN 10226-1 (taper external/parallel internal threads)
- EN 558 (face-to-face dimensions for flanged valves)
- EN 12516-1, EN 12627 and ASME standards (B16.10, B16.34) for complementary valve and piping design requirements
