The Wavin Tigris K5 Equal Tee is a high-performance pipe fitting designed for professional plumbers and contractors who prioritize hydraulic efficiency. Its primary benefit is the innovative Opti Flow technology, which reduces pressure loss by providing an orifice up to 50% larger than traditional fittings. While it offers superior flow capacity, users should ensure they are using the correct press tool and compatible piping system to maintain the integrity of the installation.

The Tigris K5 system is specifically optimized for Wavin piping; using it with third-party pipes may void warranties or compromise the integrity of the connection.
You will need a pipe cutter, a deburring tool, and a compatible press tool equipped with the correct jaw profile for the Tigris K5 series.
Yes, the Tigris K5 range is designed to handle standard domestic and commercial hot and cold water temperatures safely.
Ensure the pipe is visible through the inspection window before pressing, and perform a pressure test following local plumbing regulations after the installation is complete.
Check that the pipe end is deburred and calibrated correctly; ensure the O-ring is not damaged or obstructed.
Verify that the correct jaw profile for the K5 series was used and ensure the pipe was inserted to the full depth before pressing.
To install the Wavin Tigris K5 Equal Tee, first cut the 20mm pipe squarely and ensure the end is free of burrs. Insert the pipe into the fitting, confirming that the pipe has reached the insertion depth marked on the fitting body. Use an approved press tool with the correct profile jaw to compress the fitting securely onto the pipe. This system is designed exclusively for compatibility with Wavin Tigris pipes. Always store fittings in a clean, dry environment before use to prevent debris from entering the internal O-rings, which are essential for maintaining the seal.
