This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for valves of prefabricated thermally insulated valve assemblies comprising a steel valve, rigid polyurethane foam insulation and an outer casing of polyethylene for use in directly buried hot water networks with pre-insulated pipe assemblies in accordance with EN 253.
This European Standard applies only to factory made prefabricated insulated valve assemblies for continuous operation with hot water at various temperatures in accordance with EN 253, Clause 1 and the valve assemblies with a maximum operation pressure of 25 bar. For higher pressures, additional demands apply.
NOTE For this application, the following valve types are commonly used: ball valves, gate valves, and butterfly valves.
This European Standard does not include calculation rules for loads and stresses. These depend on the configuration of the system as it is installed. The design and installation rules are given in EN 13941.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 253:2009+A2:2015 and
EN 448 and the following apply. For types of valves, the terms and definitions given in EN 736-1 apply.
3.1
nominal pressure (PN) class
alphanumeric designation used for reference purposes related to a combination of mechanical and
dimensional characteristics of a component of a pipe work system
Note 1 to entry: It comprises the letters PN followed by a dimensionless number.
Note 2 to entry: The number following the letters PN does not represent a measurable value and should not be
used for calculation purposes except where specified in the relevant standard.
Note 3 to entry: The designation PN is not meaningful unless it is related to the relevant component standard
number.
Note 4 to entry: The maximum allowable pressure of a pipework component depends on the PN number, the
material and design of the component, its maximum allowable temperature, etc. The relevant European
Component standards include tables of specified pressure/temperature ratings or, in minimum, include rules how
to determine pressure/temperature ratings.
Note 5 to entry: It is intended that all components with the same PN and DN designations have the same mating
dimensions for compatible flange types.

Foreword
This document (prEN 488:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 107 “Prefabricated
district heating and district cooling pipe systems”, the secretariat of which is held by DS.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 488:2011+A1:2014.
The main changes of EN 488:2011+A1:2014 are:
improvement and simplification of the type test of the steel valve. The cycle test has been integrated in
the test sequence;
the requirements for the end of stem construction has been changed in accordance with
EN 488:2011+A1:2014;
the formulae in Annex C for the calculation of bending forces have been improved.
EN 488 has also been aligned with EN 448 and other relevant European Standards.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for valves of prefabricated thermally
insulated valve assemblies comprising a steel valve, rigid polyurethane foam insulation and an outer casing of
polyethylene for use in directly buried hot water networks with pre-insulated pipe assemblies in accordance
with EN 253.
This European Standard applies only to factory made prefabricated insulated valve assemblies for continuous
operation with hot water at various temperatures in accordance with EN 253, Clause 1 and the valve
assemblies with a maximum operation pressure of 25 bar. For higher pressures, additional demands apply.
NOTE For this application, the following valve types are commonly used: ball valves, gate valves, and butterfly
valves.
This European Standard does not include calculation rules for loads and stresses. These depend on the
configuration of the system as it is installed. The design and installation rules are given in EN 13941.

alphanumeric designation used for reference purposes related to a combination of mechanical and
dimensional characteristics of a component of a pipe work system
Note 1 to entry: It comprises the letters PN followed by a dimensionless number.
Note 2 to entry: The number following the letters PN does not represent a measurable value and should not be used
for calculation purposes except where specified in the relevant standard.
Note 3 to entry: The designation PN is not meaningful unless it is related to the relevant component standard number.
Note 4 to entry: The allowable pressure of a pipe work component depends on the PN number, the material and
design of the component, its allowable temperature, etc., and is given in tables of pressure/temperature ratings specified
in the appropriate standards.

the preinsulated valve assemblies, this information shall be given whilst placing the order with the
manufacturer of the preinsulated valve assemblies.
NOTE Any later request for provision of such documentation can be too late and can possibly not be met by the

passes the casing there shall be an arrangement to protect against water ingress to the insulation.
The stem construction outside the insulation must be:

Specifically used steel type is documented by appropriate quality management system;
NOTE Under specific installation and operation conditions a chrome content of 16 % alone might not be sufficient, so
that other alloy elements are then recommended.
