National foreword
This British Standard is the English language version of EN 1254-1:1998. Together
with BS EN 1254-2 it supersedes BS 864-2:1983 which is declared obsolescent.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee
NFE/34, Copper and copper alloys, to Subcommittee NFE/34/3, Copper and copper
alloy fittings for tube and pipe, which has the responsibility to:
