Tigre Usa Inc 1435-005 Poly Fpt Insert Adapter 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The TIGRE USA INC 1435-005 is a 1/2-inch polyethylene female pipe thread (FPT) insert adapter designed for use in cold water distribution systems. This plastic insert fitting connects to PE polyethylene pipe using stainless steel clamps, creating a secure, leak-resistant joint at the female threaded end. Licensed plumbers and irrigation professionals install this fitting in low-pressure cold water lines where a threaded female connection is required. It is rated for potable water service and carries NSF 14 and NSF 16 listings, confirming it meets safe drinking water standards.

This adapter is intended for cold water applications only, including potable water supply lines, irrigation laterals, and other PE pipe systems that do not carry compressed air, gases, or hot water. It is not approved for use inside a dwelling. The fitting is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it well suited for contractors working on subdivision water laterals, agricultural irrigation runs, or utility distribution projects where multiple connections are needed.
