The Wavin Tigris K5 Connector is designed for professional plumbers and contractors working with multilayer composite pipe systems who require optimized fluid dynamics. Its standout benefit is the proprietary Opti Flow technology, which significantly reduces pressure loss by providing an orifice up to 50% larger than industry-standard fittings. While it offers superior flow performance, users should note that it requires compatible crimping tools and specific pipe preparation standards to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.

The Wavin Tigris K5 is specifically engineered for multilayer composite pipe systems. Confirm your PEX pipe specifications meet the required external diameter tolerances.
No, these are permanent, press-fit connectors and cannot be reused once the pressing process is complete.
Opti Flow technology increases the internal orifice size by up to 50%, which drastically reduces pressure loss and increases flow efficiency throughout the pipe network.
While other compatible industry-standard pressing tools may work, it is recommended to follow Wavin’s specific tool compatibility documentation to ensure the warranty remains valid.
The fitting includes an inspection window; ensure the pipe is visible through this port before beginning the pressing procedure.
Verify that the pipe was cut squarely and the end was properly deburred before insertion. Ensure the pressing tool jaws were fully closed.
Check for pipe end deformation or burrs. Ensure the pipe is properly calibrated to the correct diameter before attempting insertion.
To ensure a secure installation, always use a compatible pressing tool calibrated for Wavin Tigris systems. First, cut the multilayer pipe squarely and use a deburring tool to remove any sharp edges that could damage the internal seals. Insert the pipe fully into the connector until it is visible through the inspection window. Ensure that the pipe is not under tension when positioned in the press jaws. Maintenance is minimal, but it is recommended to inspect the joints for signs of moisture or weeping during your routine system pressure checks.
