FAQs

What is Opti Flow technology?

It is a design feature in the Tigris M5 range that increases the internal orifice size by up to 50% to reduce pressure loss.

Can this fitting be used with standard copper pipe?

This specific variant is designed for 16mm multilayer composite pipe on one side and a 15mm connection on the other.

Do I need a special tool to install this?

Yes, a compatible press tool with the correct profile jaw is required for a secure, leak-proof connection.

Is this fitting suitable for gas installations?

Wavin Tigris fittings are typically intended for water and heating systems; always consult local regulations before using in any gas application.

Can I reuse the fitting if the first press attempt failed?

No, press-fit adapters are designed for single-use and should be discarded if not installed correctly.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks after pressing

Verify that the pipe was cut square and the press tool was fully engaged throughout the complete compression cycle.

Difficulty inserting the pipe

Check that the pipe end has been properly deburred and calibrated to ensure a smooth transition over the O-ring.

Unsure of jaw compatibility

Check the tool manufacturer’s compatibility chart to ensure the press jaw matches the specific Tigris M5 profile.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improved flow rates compared to standard press fittings
  • Reduces energy consumption by decreasing system resistance
  • High-quality, durable construction for long-term reliability
  • Streamlined installation process with press-fit technology

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade press tool for installation
  • Not compatible with non-composite pipe types
  • Requires specific Wavin-compatible jaws

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the Wavin Tigris M5 adapter, ensure the pipe is cut square and the end is properly calibrated/deburred before insertion. Use a professional press tool equipped with the correct profile jaws specified by Wavin for the M5 range. Avoid applying heat or lubricants to the fitting during installation, as this can compromise the integrity of the O-ring seal. Post-installation, it is standard practice to pressure test the entire circuit according to local building regulations before concealing pipes behind walls or under floors. Maintain the system by ensuring that the surrounding piping is properly clipped and supported to avoid putting unnecessary mechanical stress on the adapter joint.
