Tigre Usa Inc 1402-130 Poly Insert Tee 1x1x1/2 Fpt

Product Description

The TIGRE USA INC 1402-130 is a polyethylene insert tee fitting designed for cold water distribution systems. Configured as a 1 inch x 1 inch x 1/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) tee, it connects PE polyethylene pipe on the two run ends and accepts a threaded female connection on the branch outlet. Installation requires stainless steel clamps to secure the insert ends to the PE pipe. This fitting meets ASTM D-2609 standards and carries NSF 14 and NSF 16 listings for potable water service. It is intended for plumbing professionals and qualified tradespeople working on underground or agricultural water supply lines.

This fitting is suited for cold water supply applications using polyethylene pipe, including rural water systems, irrigation headers, and similar distribution networks. The FPT branch allows connection to threaded valves, adapters, or fixtures. It is not approved for use inside dwellings or for use with compressed air or gases. All applications must remain within cold water service conditions as defined by the applicable listing standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson familiar with polyethylene pipe systems. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line.
