1 Scope
This standard specifies the design and dimensions of compression fittings and couplings, with stud ends in
compliance with DIN 3852-1, DIN 3852-2 or DIN 3852-1 1, as well as IS0 6149-1, IS0 61 49-2 and IS0 61 49-3,
which are made from standardized components and are not covered in IS0 8434-1.
See clause 5 for list of coupling assembly components.

3 Coupling assemblies
3.1 Stud fittings with type C (taper) stud end as in DIN 3852-1 and DIN 3852-2
It is recommended not to adopt the L and S series of fittings with tapered stud end for new designs. In these
cases, types C and D fittings should be used instead of types A and B, and types DD, EE and FF swivel adaptors
together with DIN 3901 straight (male stud) fittings instead of types F, G, M, N, AA, and AB.

*) At present at draft stage.

DIN 2353 : 1998-12

Tightness cannot be guaranteed, since this is a function of the medium conveyed, the working pressure and
temperature, and the combination of materials used. Depending on the application, it is therefore recom-
mended that a type C stud end with a seal be used.
