FAQs

What is the primary benefit of Opti Flow technology?

Opti Flow technology provides an up to 50% larger orifice, which significantly reduces pressure loss and improves fluid flow rates.

Can I use standard pipe cutters with this connector?

While standard cutters work, ensure you properly deburr and calibrate the pipe end to avoid damaging the internal seals of the connector.

Is the Tigris K5 compatible with all pipe brands?

It is designed for use with compatible Wavin piping systems. Always check the official Wavin compatibility chart for specific pipe material matches.

Does this connector require a specific pressing tool?

Yes, for a secure and warrantied connection, you must use Wavin-approved pressing tools and jaws.

How do I maintain the Tigris K5?

The connector is designed to be maintenance-free once properly installed. Simply include the joints in your routine system inspections.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting pipe into the connector

Ensure the pipe end is properly deburred, calibrated, and cut perfectly square before attempting insertion.

Leak detected at connection point

Verify that the correct pressing tool was used and that the pressing depth met the manufacturer's specified requirements.

Reduced flow despite K5 installation

Check upstream components or filters for blockages; the K5 connector is designed to minimize resistance, but it cannot fix existing upstream clogs.
