Tigre Usa Inc 1436-015 Poly Mip Insert Adapter 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The TIGRE USA INC 1436-015 is a 1-1/2 inch polyethylene male iron pipe (MIP) insert adapter designed for connecting PE polyethylene pipe in cold water distribution systems. The fitting transitions from a male iron pipe thread on one end to an insert barb on the other, allowing it to seat inside PE pipe and secure with stainless steel clamps. This adapter is rated for potable water service and carries ASTM D-2609, NSF 14, and NSF 16 listings. It is installed by licensed plumbers in residential service laterals, irrigation systems, and rural water supply lines where polyethylene pipe is the distribution material.

This adapter is intended for cold water applications only. It is not approved for use with compressed air or gases, and it is not listed for installation inside a dwelling. Typical applications include outdoor water service lines, agricultural water distribution, and irrigation mainline connections where PE pipe terminates at a threaded fitting or valve. Stainless steel clamps are required for a secure, leak-free connection to the PE pipe insert end.
