Inlet valves for flushing cisterns with internal overflow

The purpose of this document is to specify:
- the dimensional, hygiene, tightness, pressure performance, hydraulic, acoustic, mechanical and physico chemical characteristics which inlet valves for flushing cisterns shall comply with;
- the test methods for  testing these characteristics;
- marking and presentation.
This document applies exclusively to the valve itself and it does not prejudge compliance with health regulations as the inlet valve is being fitted into the cistern.
This document does not cover valves intended to equip flushing cisterns with external overflow.
This document applies to valves such as float valves limit operating at pressures up to NP 10 (whose operating range is from 0,05 MPa to 1 MPa - 0,5 bar to 10 bar) designed to supply cold water to flushing cisterns for use with WC pans, that are permanently connected to a potable water supply system.
The working range can be extended downwards (< 0,05 MPa - 0,5 bar) down to 0,01 MPa (0,1 bar), in which case the manufacturer's instructions shall indicate this possibility as well as the recommended working range.

Füllventile für Spülkästen mit integriertem Überlauf

Diese Europäische Norm dient der Festlegung von:
3   Anforderungen an Maße, Hygiene, Dichtheit, Druckbeständigkeit, hydraulischer Eigenschaften, Geräuschverhalten, mechanischer Festigkeit und physikalisch-chemischer Eigenschaften, denen die Füllventile für Spülkästen entsprechen müssen;
3   Prüfverfahren zum Nachweis dieser Anforderungen;
3   Anforderung an Kennzeichnung und Darstellung.
Diese Norm gilt ausschließlich für das Füllventil selbst und beinhaltet nicht die Einhaltung von Gesundheits-vorschriften, da das Füllventil in den Spülkasten eingebaut wird.
Füllventile zum Einbau in Spülkästen mit externem Überlauf werden in dieser Norm nicht behandelt.
Diese Norm gilt für Füllventile für einen maximalen Betriebsdruck DN 10 (deren Funktionsbereich von 0,05 MPa bis 1 MPa - von 0,5 bar bis 10 bar - reicht) zur Kaltwasserversorgung von Spülkästen für WC Becken, die ständig an die Trinkwasserinstallation angeschlossen sind.
Füllventile können einen erweiterten Funktionsbereich unterhalb 0,05 MPa (0,5 bar) bis 0,01 MPa (0,1 bar) aufweisen. In diesem Fall muss die Herstelleranweisung diese Möglichkeit sowie den empfohlenen Funktionsbereich angeben.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für Füllventile für andere Anwendungsbereiche, z. B. für den Einbau in Pumpen- und Nachspeisebehälter

All materials in contact with water intended for human consumption shall not present any health risk up to a temperature of 25 °C. They shall not cause any deterioration of water intended for human consumption with regard to food quality, appearance, smell or taste. Within the limits recommended in clause 1 for correct operation, the materials shall not be subjected to any deterioration likely to affect the performance of the valve. Parts submitted to pressure shall withstand the corresponding operating limits. Materials with insufficient corrosion resistance shall be protected against corrosion. 5 Design and manufacture 5.1 Composition of the inlet valve A flushing cistern inlet valve comprises:  a single supply connection;  one or more outlets; SIST EN 14124:2004



EN 14124:2004 (E) 7  a detector, generally a float, for shutting off the water supply when the required level in the flushing cistern is reached. 5.2 Connection to the supply network Inlet valves can be connected inside the cistern to the supply network as follows:  through the side;  through the back;  through the bottom;  through the top. It should not exist any submerged connection that can be dismantled or that may be dismantled inside the cistern. 5.3 Adjustment of the water level Inlet valves for flushing cisterns can, if applicable, be fitted with a device used to adjust the water level in the cistern. If so, the water level in the flushing cistern can be adjusted within certain limits. Remark: Bending the float arm to achieve adjustment is not considered to be an adjustment device. 5.4 Dimensions of the threaded end connections
In the event of use of a threaded end connection, the dimensions of the end connection shall comply with the specifications in Table 2 below: SIST EN 14124:2004
