Tigre Usa Inc 1406-005 Poly Insert Elbow 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The TIGRE USA INC 1406-005 is a 1/2 inch poly insert elbow fitting designed for use with PE polyethylene pipe in cold water distribution systems. This poly x poly configuration allows the fitting to join two runs of polyethylene pipe using stainless steel clamps, creating a secure, leak-resistant 90-degree change of direction. The 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 irrigation installers working on outdoor or agricultural water supply lines where polyethylene pipe is the specified material.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial cold water applications, including rural water supply, irrigation laterals, and similar low-pressure polyethylene pipe systems. It is not approved for use inside a dwelling, and it must not be used with compressed air, natural gas, or any other gaseous media. Installation requires stainless steel clamps to secure the PE pipe over the barbed insert end. The 1406-005 is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking fittings for larger irrigation or water service jobs.

Compatibility

Designed for use with PE polyethylene pipe in cold water service applications. Compatible pipe must be secured with stainless steel clamps per standard poly insert fitting installation practice. Not for use in interior dwelling plumbing or with any compressed gas.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation professional familiar with polyethylene pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before cutting pipe or seating fittings. Secure each barbed end with appropriately sized stainless steel clamps — do not substitute hose clamps of lesser material. Modifying the fitting in any way voids the manufacturer warranty and may compromise the potable water listing.
