Tigre Usa Inc 1436-101 Reducing Male Adapter 1/2x3/4 Mip

Product Description

The TIGRE USA INC 1436-101 is a reducing male adapter fitting designed for polyethylene (PE) pipe systems carrying cold potable water. It connects a 1/2 inch insert end to a 3/4 inch male iron pipe (MIP) threaded outlet, allowing a transition from PE poly pipe to a standard threaded fitting or valve. Installation requires stainless steel clamps to secure the insert end to the PE pipe. This fitting is listed under ASTM D-2609 and meets NSF 14 and NSF 16 standards for potable water service, making it appropriate for licensed plumbers working on cold water supply lines.

This adapter is intended for cold water applications only in non-dwelling installations such as agricultural, irrigation, or utility service lines where polyethylene pipe is the primary distribution material. The 1/2 inch insert side slips into PE poly pipe and is clamped in place with stainless steel clamps, while the 3/4 inch MIP threaded end connects to standard pipe fittings, valves, or service entry points. It is not rated for use with compressed air, gases, or hot water service.
