BS 1010 : Part 2 ; 1973

Foreword
This revised British Standard has been prepared under the authority of the Sanitary Appliances Industry
Standards Committee and specifies screwdown pattern taps and above-ground stopvalves made by casting
or hot pressing, essentially for use with water services.
The dimensions given are those considered essential to ensure the production of a sound article with a
reasonably long life and for that reason may be applied to the component parts of a variety of designs,
some features of which it is unnecessary to standardize.
This revision has been undertaken principally for the following reasons :
(1) metrication,
(2) inclusion in the text of the various amendments which have been issued to the 1959 edition,
(3) simpWcation, and
(4) review of the non-rising spindle design.
When the original non-rising spindle design was put forward in Amendment No. 7 to BS 1010 : 1959 as
an alternative to the traditional rising spindle design, it was intended that the two alternative designs should
be permitted for a period not greatly in excess of eighteen months, after which a decision should be made
as to which design was preferable. As a result of the experience gained, it is felt that both types have merit
and they have therefore both been included in this revised specification as permanent alternative forms of
headwork. The non-rising spindle design is only intended for use on g in and 9 in taps and valves. In the
revised non-rising headwork, basic features only have been specified, leaving manufacturers free to produce
a variety of designs, but when toroidal sealing rings (' O ' rings) are used for gland sealing it is now required
that there shall be two.
The dimensions are now expressed in metric units except those for screw threads in imperial units. In
making the conversion the dimensions have been rounded off to sensible metric numbers where possible,
but in some cases strict conversions have been made in order to obviate expensive and unnecessary changes
in tooling.
Pipe thread designations and connecting tail threads have remained unchanged because BSP threads are
standard for the purpose internationally. (See ISO/R 228, ' Pipe threads where pressure-tight joints are not
made on the threads (iinch to 6 inches) '.) Imperial designations are therefore acceptable in metric specifica-

--`,`,``,`,`,,```,`,`,,``,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
tions. All other screw threads are also unchanged physically.
Some of the requirements in the 1959 edition of BS 1010 have now proved to be unnecessary or out of
date and some adjustments have therefore been made in this edition. It is expected that these changes will
make this standard easier to use whilst still producing articles of high quality and adequate interchangeability.
This standard does not deal with methods of fwng, nor does it deal with compliance with water byelaws,
other than to prescribe the correct method of manufacture of the standard draw-off taps and stopvalves.
The primary intention underlying its preparation was to secure an adequate standard of quality for ordinary
screwdown taps and stopvalves, but it is not intended that it should preclude the production and use of
types having special features. Such taps or stopvalves, if they comply with the requirements of this standard
in all relevant respects, can be regarded as taps or stopvalves complying with the requirements of this British
Standard and may be marked in accordance with 1.8.
The Committee has again given consideration to the use of zinc alloys for such components as cross tops,
easy-clean shields and backnuts and it was agreed that doubts regarding the satisfactory behaviour of this
metal under all conditions were sufficient to justify its omission until such time as it is proved to be satisfactory.
Owing to the growing importance of certain metals which are ' non-ferrous ' but unsuitable for water taps,
the use of this term has been changed in favour of ' copper alloy ' as being more correctly indicative of the
metals intended.
Dimensions for bent unions up to 1 only are given in Table 12 as there is little demand for larger sizes.
Underground stopvalves have been omitted from this Part 2 of this standard as a separate standard is
being prepared, to be published in due course as Part 3, ' Underground stopvalves for waterworks purposes '
of this standard. In the meantime, BS 1010 : 1959 is to be retained as BS 1010 ' Draw-off taps and stopvalves
for water services (screwdown pattern), Fart 1. Imperial units '.
New British Standard specifications for spray taps and spray mixing taps are in course of preparation.

British Standard Specification for

Draw-off taps and stopvalves
for water services
(screw-down pattern)
Part 2. Draw-off taps and above-ground stopvalves

i. General
1.1 Scope
This British Standard specifies requirements for screwdown pattern draw-off taps and stopvalves of i, Q, 8,
a, 1, la, 14 and 2 in nominal sizes. Pillar taps are not specified in in and 8 in nominal sizes.
The following patterns of taps and stopvalves are within the scope of this British Standard:
(1) bib taps and pillar taps;
(2) above-ground stopvalves with end connections in accordance with 4.3 or 4.11;
(3) combination tap assemblies either of the single or double outlet type;
(4) any type of bib, pillar, or globe* tap or stopvalve including those combined with draining taps
complying with the requirements of BS 2879 or combination tap, bidet tap, restrictor tap and the like or
any combination of such taps and valves.
Taps and stopvalves may be of the ' easy-clean ' or non ' easy-clean ' pattern.
Outlets of taps and stopvalves may either be plain or threaded (see 4.1.3 and Table 1I).
Sink columns are also included in this standard (see Table 13).
NOTE. The titles of the British Standards referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

1.2 Definitions
For the purposes of this British Standard the following definitions apply:
--`,`,``,`,`,,```,`,`,,``,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

(1) Screw-down stopvalve. A valve in which a plate or disk, which shuts against the water pressure, is
moved, by the rotation of a spindle, at right angles to its plane to cover the valve aperture.
(2) Screw-down tap. A tap operated in the same manner as a screw-down stop-valve.
a. Bib tap. A tap with a horizontal inlet and a nozzle bent to discharge in a downward direction.
b. Hose union tap. A tap, the nozzle of which has a male thread for the attachment of a hose union.
c, Pillar tap. A tap, suitable for mounting on a horizontal surface, having a vertical inlet and a nozzle
bent to discharge in a downward direction.
d. Globe tap. A tap with a horizontal inlet and a vertical free outlet.
The use of the word ' tap ' shall be taken to refer to any of the above patterns.
(3) Combination tap assembly. A hot water tap and a cold water tap coupled together with a common
nozzle which may be either fixed or swivelling, so as to discharge hot, cold or mixed hot and cold water.
a. Single outlet type combination fap assembly. A combination tap assembly in which the hot water
and the cold water mix before they emerge from the nozzle and which requires the hot water and
the cold water supplies to be at the same pressure.
b. Double outlet type combination tap assembly. A combination tap assembly in which the streams of
hot water and cold water are kept separate and do not mix until they emerge from the nozzle and
which does not require the hot water and the cold water supplies to be at the same pressure.
(4) Handle. The operating member whether it be crutch, crosstop, combined handle or any other method
of operation.
* The use of a globe tap may contravene the water byelaws.

BS I010 : Part 2 : 1973
1.4 Nominal size
Taps and stopvalves shall be designated by their nominal sizes and shall comply in all respects with the
dimensions specified in Tables 1 and 2.
I.5 Dimensions
The design of the rising spindle headwork is fully dimensioned. The design of non-rising spindle headwork
is at the discretion of the manufacturer provided that the basic features and minimum dimensions specified
in Tables 7, 8 and 9 are maintained.
I.6 Colour coding
Where colours are used to indicate ' hot ' and ' cold ' it is recommended that they should be red for hot
and blue for cold, In the case of combined assemblies it is further recommended that the hot tap should be
on the left hand side and the cold tap on the right when viewed from the front.
1.7 Testing
1.7.1 Taps. Every tap when assembled and in the closed position shall show no leakage when subjected
by the manufacturer to an underseat pressure test. This shall consist either of an internal hydraulic pressure
of not less than 20 bar* or an internal pneumatic pressure of not less than 5 bar while the tap is completely
immersed in water,
In addition, every tap when assembled and in the open position and with the outlet sealed shall be capable
of withstanding without leakage an internally applied hydraulic pressure of not less than 5 bar or an internally
applied pneumatic pressure of not less than 1 bar while the tap is completely immersed in water.
1.7.2 Stopvalves and hose union taps. Every stopvalve and hose union tap shall be tested in the assembled
--`,`,``,`,`,,```,`,`,,``,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

condition both in the fully closed position (seat test) and in the fully opened position (body test). In both
cases, the test shall consist of either an hydraulic test at not less than 20 bar, or a pneumatic test at not less
than 5 bar while the tap is completely immersed in water.
Alternatively, the body test may be carried out with the valve reversed and in the closed position.
1.8 Marking
Taps and stopvalves shall be legibly marked with the following information:
(1) manufacturer's name or mark;
(2) the number of this British Standard, i.e. BS 1010/2;
(3) on stopvalves only: the nominal size and direction of flow.
NOTE. Requirements (1) and (2) are covered by the BWA/BSI certification mark for licensed manufacturers.
Attention is drawn to the certification facilities offered by BSI and BWA; see the inside back cover of this standard.

2. Materials
2.1 General
Handles and ' easy-clean ' covers may be of brass or other corrosion resistant materials, All other component
parts of taps and valves, other than washers and seals, shall be of brass or gunmetal, except that seats,
whether replaceable or permanently bonded, may also be made of stainless steel, agate or other not less
suitable materials, and 4 in and 2 in washer plates may be moulded from acetal copolymer plastic.
2.2 Composition
The chemical compositions of the various alloys shall be not less suitable than those specified in the following
British Standards:
(1) Brass (cast), excluding diecastings, for bodies and components : BS 1400 SCB 1 or SCB 3
(2) Brass gravity diecastings for bodies and components: BS 1400 DCB 3
(3) Brass pressure diecastings for bodies and components : BS 1400PCB 1

Standard union ends, tail pipes and coupling nuts
Explanatory notes for Tables 11 and 12 and Fig. 15
Dimensions of parallel spigot and cone end tail pipes are given for various sizes between Q in and 24 in
ES pipe (parallel) threads. These are primarily intended for use with lead pipes. Under the appropriate
BSP size, the fittings affected are indicated.
The unions of piliar taps and ballvalves are normally of the same nominal size. Full bore through the
tail pipe of lead connections is not attained.
Stopvalves, in which full area of waterway is important, are screwed a larger size, giving full bore through
all sizes of hot pressed tail pipes and most of the cast pipes.
The size of the union end and the size of the tap or valve are related in Table 11.
For special ends to suit copper tube, etc., refer to 4.3 and 4.11.
+
Tail pipes for in and 2 in size may be made by pressing or rolling the collar on to solid drawn copper
tube, provided that they comply with the dimensional requirements of Table 12 in other respects.

Appendix B
Method for the determination of low temperature flexibility of 'O' rings
Fix a test piece of rubber, 150 mmx 25 mm x 3 mm, in two grips so that it lies in one plane with 125 mm
exposed between the grips, and then reduce the distance between the grips by 1 mm.
Place the clamped test piece vertically in a vessel about 75 mm in diameter containing industrial methylated
spirit*, maintained within f i "C of the nominal test temperature by means of solid carbon dioxide, so
that the test piece is completely immersed. After 30 minutes in the vessel at the test temperature reduce
the distance between the grips by 25 mm in 20 seconds, by moving one grip directly towards the other and
in the same plane. Then examine the test piece visually for cracks.
A suitable apparatus consists of a back plate carrying two clamps fixed to an end stop and a sliding
plunger respectively. The jaws of the clamps are fitted with guide quadrants, of 12.5 mm radius, to prevent
kinking of the test piece at these points. The plunger carries a head, and a pointer moving over a scale
graduated in millimetres, which is k e d to the back plate so that the pointer is at zero when the undistorted
test piece is clamped in position.

Appendix C
Method for the determination of adhesion to, and corrosion of, metals by
'O' rings
Place a test piece of rubber approximately 25 mm square on a clean, smooth, finely ground surface of a
mild steel plate approximately 50 mm square and 3 mm thick. Place a copper plate, similar to the steel
plate in dimensions and surface finish, over the test piece in line with the steel plate and with the prepared

* It should be noted that the use of industrial methylated spirits is governed by The Methylated Spirits Regulations 1952
(SI 1952, No. 2230).

rubber surfaces into intimate contact, secure by means of wire or a clamp and place in an oven at 70 f l "C
for 168 hours. After removal from the oven and cooling to room temperature dismantle the assembly and
examine the metal plates for corrosion or pitting and for adhesion of the compound to either metal. Consider
adhesion to have occurred if, on separation from the metal, particles of the compound remain afíixed- to
either plate.

Method for the determination of surface condition of 'O' ring material on
bending after ageing in air
Heat a test piece of rubber, in the form of a Type D dumb bell in accordance with BS 903 : Part A2 at a
temperature of 100 "C for seven days after which remove it from the oven and, after conditioning at room
temperature for half an hour, bend through 180 symmetrically round a 12.5 mm diameter steel mandrel.
