Overview

EN 15182-2:2019 (CEN) specifies safety, performance and test requirements for hand‑held combination branchpipes (nozzles) PN 16 used by fire services. It is Part 2 of the EN 15182 series and supplements the common requirements of EN 15182-1:2019. The scope covers combination branchpipes with a nominal pressure of 16 bar (1,6 MPa) and a maximum flow rate up to 1 000 l/min at the reference pressure of 6 bar (0,6 MPa). This European Standard replaces EN 15182-2:2007+A1:2009 and is intended for type testing of firefighting nozzles.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Types defined: combination branchpipes Type 1–5 (variable/fixed/ selectable flow, automatic pressure control (Type 4) and automatic flow control (Type 5)).
• Hydraulic pressures: reference pR = 6 bar; median (pm) for Type 4; nominal pN = 16 bar; test pt = 25,5 bar; burst pB = 60 bar.
• Flow rates and tolerances: flow deviations at reference pressure are specified (e.g., ≤50 l/min limits and percentage deviations for higher flows) and all marked flow rates must be measured at straight jet and maximum spray positions.
• Effective throw: mandatory effective throw measurements for flows >50 l/min when set to straight jet; tests defined with inclination, height and wind limits (inclination 30°, height 1 m, wind < 2 m/s).
• Mechanical limits: maximum dimensions and mass thresholds (separate limits for ≤500 l/min and >500 l/min); maximum torques for operating elements (lever, valve handle, rotating parts) and required forces for detented rotating elements (15–75 N).
• Spray pattern and adjustment: marking and mechanical/haptic identification of jet positions; spray angle requirements (wide spray ≥100° achievable within specified rotation ranges); narrow spray and protective patterns defined.
• Control devices: verification procedures for pressure control (Type 4) and flow control (Type 5) branchpipes.
• Durability and integrity tests: leak‑tightness and hydrostatic behaviour verifications as type tests.

Applications and users

EN 15182-2:2019 is intended for:

• Firefighting nozzle manufacturers designing and certifying combination branchpipes PN 16.
• Test and certification laboratories performing type tests and conformity assessment.
• Procurement officers in fire services specifying equipment performance and safety.
• Standards professionals and safety engineers involved in fire service equipment compliance. Practical uses include designing nozzles for structural firefighting, water/foam projection, and specifying nozzle performance for operational planning.
