1 Scope
This document specifies:
a) field of application;
b) requirements for pipe interrupters with permanent atmospheric vent;
c) dimensional, the physico-chemical properties and the properties of general hydraulic, mechanical and
acoustic design of pipe interrupters with permanent atmospheric vent, DN 10 to DN 20;
d) test method and requirements for verifying these properties;
e) marking and presentation;
f) acoustics.
This document specifies the characteristics of pipe interrupters with permanent atmospheric vent, DN 10 to
DN 20 that are suitable for use in drinking water systems at pressures up to 1 MPa (10 bar) and temperatures
up to 65 °C and for 1 h 90 °C.
Backflow protection devices integrated in flushing valves are similar to DC and are not covered under this
document. The requirements are stated in EN 12541.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1717:2000, EN 806-1:2000 and the
following apply.
pipe interrupter with permanent atmospheric vent
pipe interrupter fitted with air inlet port(s) which is (are) totally unrestricted and permanent. Water flows verti-
cally downwards. The device prevents back flow by venting to atmosphere all the downstream and upstream
elements.
For the purpose of this document "pipe interrupter with permanent atmospheric vent DC" is hereafter referred
to as "device(s)"
4 Nominal size
The nominal size of device (DN designated) shall correspond to the denomination of the thread according to
Table 1.
For specifications of threads refer to 8.2.
