Tigre Usa Inc 1406-010 Poly Insert Elbow 1 Inch

Product Description

The TIGRE USA INC 1406-010 is a 1-inch poly insert elbow fitting designed for use in cold-water polyethylene pipe systems. This Poly x Poly fitting connects PE polyethylene pipe using stainless steel clamps, providing a secure mechanical joint without solvent welding or heat fusion. It is listed under ASTM D-2609 and certified to NSF 14 and NSF 16 for potable water service. Licensed plumbers and irrigation contractors typically install this fitting in low-pressure, buried, or above-ground cold-water distribution lines. It is not rated for compressed air, gas service, or installation inside a dwelling.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial cold-water applications including agricultural irrigation, rural water supply lines, and underground PE pipe systems. The poly insert design requires a barbed insert to be pushed into the pipe bore and secured with stainless steel clamps, making it a common choice for field repairs and new installations where polyethylene pipe is the distribution medium. This fitting is for cold water service only and must not be modified.
