Tigre Usa Inc 1401-005 Poly Insert Tee 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The TIGRE USA INC 1401-005 is a 1/2 inch plastic poly insert tee designed for joining polyethylene (PE) pipe in cold water distribution systems. This fitting uses a Poly x Poly x Poly configuration, connecting to PE pipe with stainless steel clamps for a secure, leak-resistant joint. It is rated for potable water service under NSF 14 and NSF 16 listings and meets ASTM D-2609 standards. Plumbers and irrigation technicians working with polyethylene supply lines are the primary installers of this fitting.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial cold water supply applications where polyethylene pipe is used, including well water systems, irrigation laterals, and outdoor water distribution lines. It is intended strictly for cold water service only. This fitting is not approved for use with compressed air, gases, or any application inside a dwelling. Any modification to the fitting voids the manufacturer warranty.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch polyethylene (PE) pipe in cold water service applications. Requires stainless steel clamps for proper installation. Not compatible with hot water lines, compressed air systems, or gas lines.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or irrigation technician. Before making connections, shut off the water supply and relieve any line pressure. Insert the fitting fully into the PE pipe end and secure with appropriately sized stainless steel clamps — do not over-tighten clamps to the point of deforming the pipe. Do not alter or modify the fitting in any way, as doing so voids the warranty and may compromise joint integrity.
