Tigre Usa Inc 1435-015 Poly Fpt Insert Adapter 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The TIGRE USA INC 1435-015 is a 1-1/2 inch polyethylene female pipe thread (FPT) insert adapter designed for connecting PE polyethylene pipe to female-threaded fittings and valves. This plastic insert fitting uses a barbed insert design that seats inside the PE pipe and is secured with stainless steel clamps, creating a leak-resistant mechanical connection. Rated for cold water service only and listed under NSF 14 and NSF 16 for potable water applications, this adapter meets ASTM D-2609 standards. Plumbers and water system installers working on rural water lines, well systems, and agricultural distribution systems are the primary users.

This adapter is intended for non-pressurized cold water distribution systems using polyethylene pipe. It is not approved for use with compressed air or gases, and it is not listed for installation inside dwellings. Typical installations include underground water service lines, irrigation mains, and agricultural or light commercial PE pipe systems where a transition from smooth poly pipe to a female threaded connection is needed. Stainless steel clamps are required to complete the connection and are not included.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch barbed insert end mates directly into PE polyethylene pipe secured with stainless steel clamps
• Female pipe thread (FPT) outlet transitions to threaded valves, fittings, or equipment
• NSF 14 and NSF 16 listed for potable cold water service
• ASTM D-2609 listed construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style insert adapter for use with 1-1/2 inch PE polyethylene pipe in cold water distribution applications meeting ASTM D-2609 requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation contractors following applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before cutting pipe or making connections. Insert the barbed end fully into the PE pipe and secure with appropriately sized stainless steel clamps — do not substitute with non-stainless hardware in buried or wet environments. Never modify the fitting body, as any alteration voids the warranty and may compromise joint integrity.
