Tigre Usa Inc 1436-005 Poly Mip Insert Adapter 1/2 in

Product Description

The TIGRE USA INC 1436-005 is a 1/2-inch polyethylene male iron pipe (MIP) insert adapter designed for joining PE polyethylene pipe to male iron pipe threaded connections. Manufactured from poly material, this fitting connects using stainless steel clamps over the insert end, providing a secure mechanical connection without solvent welding. It is rated for cold water service only and meets ASTM D-2609, NSF 14, and NSF 16 standards for potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians working on underground or surface PE water lines are the primary installers of this fitting.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial cold water distribution systems where polyethylene pipe transitions to threaded iron pipe connections. Common applications include irrigation mainlines, rural water service laterals, and outdoor potable water supply lines where PE pipe is the primary conveyance material. It is not approved for use inside dwellings, with compressed air, or with any gas service. This fitting is sold in a package quantity of 50 units, making it practical for contractors managing multiple connections on a single project.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making connections. The insert end is secured to PE pipe using stainless steel clamps tightened with a screwdriver or nut driver — do not over-tighten to the point of deforming the pipe. This fitting must not be used with compressed air, gas, or inside any dwelling; doing so may violate local plumbing codes and voids all certifications.
