Overview

SIST EN 16436-2:2019 is a European standard that specifies requirements for assemblies made of rubber and plastics hoses or tubing for use with propane, butane, and their mixtures in the vapour phase. Developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST), this standard focuses specifically on the characteristics, performance, and safety of hose and tubing assemblies, ensuring they are suitable for applications involving liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The document is intended to work in conjunction with EN 16436-1, which covers the hoses and tubing themselves, and fills gaps not addressed in other standards, such as EN 16129.

Key Topics

• Scope and Purpose

  • Applies to assemblies (hoses/tubing with couplings) for use with propane, butane, and LPG mixtures in the vapour phase.
  • Covers both rubber and plastics hoses/tubing and all key components, such as couplings and fixing devices.
  • Only specific connections not defined in other standards are included.

• Assembly Requirements

  • Assemblies must use hoses/tubing compliant with EN 16436-1.
  • Couplings must be corrosion-resistant, typically brass, plated steel, or stainless steel.
  • Securing devices (clamps, crimps, or clips) are required at connection points.
  • Only specific combinations and connection methods are permitted, based on hose/tubing class and equipment type.

• Performance and Safety

  • Rigorous performance tests before and after simulated ageing, including proof pressure, burst pressure, pull-off, leakage, and corrosion resistance.
  • Markings must include manufacturer details, traceability, relevant standards, and expiry date where applicable.
  • Complete packaging and instruction requirements for user safety and regulatory compliance.

• Connection Types

  • Details multiple approved connection types: hose tails, threaded couplings, quick-action couplings (with restrictions), and compression fittings.

Applications

Assemblies covered under SIST EN 16436-2:2019 are vital components in the safe delivery of LPG for a range of domestic, commercial, and light industrial applications, including:

• Gas Appliances: For connecting stoves, heaters, barbecues, and other LPG-fueled appliances to gas cylinders or tanks.
• Regulator Connections: Interface between gas containers and regulators, ensuring a secure and leak-free joint.
• Flexible Installations: Situations requiring movement, flexibility, and compliance with specific safety standards for propane and butane use.
• Aftermarket and Replacement Market: Certified replacement hose assemblies for existing installations.

Adhering to this standard ensures the integrity, compatibility, and safety of LPG assemblies, reducing risks of leaks, failures, or non-compliance with national and European regulations.

Related Standards

For complete conformity and optimal safety, SIST EN 16436-2:2019 should be considered alongside several related standards, such as:

• EN 16436-1: Specifies requirements for hoses and tubing for propane, butane, and their mixtures in the vapour phase.
• EN ISO 1402: Covers hydrostatic pressure testing for rubber and plastics hoses and assemblies.
• EN ISO 9227: Details corrosion testing methods for metallic components.
• EN 16129: Defines gas pressure regulators and associated equipment for LPG.
• EN 1254-2: Plumbing fittings for copper and copper alloys.
• EN ISO 8330: Standard vocabulary for rubber and plastics hoses and assemblies.

By utilizing SIST EN 16436-2:2019 in tandem with these referenced documents, manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users can ensure the highest standards of LPG hose assembly performance, durability, and user safety.

Keywords: SIST EN 16436-2:2019, LPG hose assemblies, propane butane hoses, rubber and plastics tubing, gas appliance connections, safety requirements, European LPG standards, butane hose assembly, propane hose connectors, hose clamp kits.
