Tigre Usa Inc 1402-131 Poly Insert Tee 1x1x3/4 Fpt

Product Description

The TIGRE USA INC 1402-131 is a polyethylene insert tee fitting designed for cold water distribution systems using PE polyethylene pipe. The fitting runs 1 inch by 1 inch on the run with a 3/4 inch female pipe thread (FPT) branch outlet, giving installers a direct threaded connection point off a poly mainline. Insert ends are secured to PE pipe using stainless steel clamps — no solvent cement required. This fitting is rated for cold water service only and is not approved for use with compressed air, gases, or in dwelling applications. It is listed to ASTM D-2609 and certified to NSF 14 and NSF 16 for potable water service.

The 1402-131 is suited for agricultural irrigation, rural water supply lines, and light commercial cold water distribution where polyethylene mainlines connect to threaded branch fixtures or valves. The FPT branch allows direct connection to standard threaded fittings, gate valves, ball valves, or hose bibs. It is not intended for residential plumbing inside a dwelling or for any pressurized gas application. Installers working on potable water systems can rely on the NSF 14 and NSF 16 listings to meet inspection requirements for drinking water contact.
