DIN 3852-2 contains specifications for component parts with

a) pipe threads where pressure-tight joints are not made on the threads as in DIN EN ISO 228-1 and

b) Whitworth pipe threads as in DIN 3858.

4 Designation
The designation of stud ends and ports conforming to this standard shall include the following items, given in
the order below:

a) Name: stud end or port;

b) Standard number: DIN 3852-2:

c) Type according to 3.1.1 or 3.2.1;

d) Letter symbol to denote the type: standard design (no symbol), short design (K);

e) Nominal thread size (e.g. G 1/2).

EXAMPLE 1 Designation of a stud end type A of standard design, thread size G 1/2 A (G 1/2):

Stud end DIN 3852-2 — A — G 1/2

EXAMPLE 2 Designation of a port type X of short design, thread size G 3/4 :

Port DIN 3852-2 — X — K — G 3/4

EXAMPLE 3 Designation of a port type Z of standard design, thread size Rp 3/8 (R 3/8):

Port DIN 3852-2 — Z — R 3/8

Explanatory notes

Since this standard specifies two types (standard and short) for type C taper stud ends, DIN 3858 specifies
class 1 plus/minus tolerances for the plane of test (standard design) and class 2 minus tolerances for the
plane of test (short design).

All other valves and fittings used in domestic installations shall have threads complying with DIN EN 10226-1.
On no account shall stud ends with a long taper external thread as specified in DIN EN 10226-1 be screwed
into a component with a shortened internal thread as specified in DIN 3852-2.
