FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Opti Flow technology?

Opti Flow technology features an up to 50% larger orifice, which significantly reduces pressure loss in the installation, leading to more efficient water distribution.

What tools are required to install this coupler?

Installation requires compatible Wavin pressing tools with the correct jaws for 25mm and 20mm multilayer pipes. It is essential to use calibrated tools.

Can this coupler be used with different brands of multilayer pipe?

While it is designed for Wavin Tigris multilayer pipes, compatibility with other brands should be verified with the respective manufacturers, as press system tolerances can vary.

What is the operating temperature range for this fitting?

The product information does not specify the operating temperature range. Refer to the official Wavin technical documentation for detailed specifications.

How do I ensure a leak-free connection?

Ensure the pipe ends are clean and inserted fully. Use a properly calibrated Wavin press tool and jaws for the correct sizes (25mm and 20mm) to execute the press.

Is this fitting suitable for potable water systems?

Wavin Tigris products are generally suitable for potable water applications, but it's always recommended to consult the product's official specifications and local regulations.

Troubleshooting

Fitting does not seal properly

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and that the correct pressing tool and jaws for the specific size (25mm and 20mm) were used. Check if the pipe or fitting was damaged prior to installation. Re-press the fitting if necessary, ensuring proper tool calibration.

Pressing tool fails to make a connection

Verify the tool is correctly powered and the jaws are properly seated on the fitting. Ensure the correct jaw size for both 25mm and 20mm connections is being used and that the tool is calibrated.

Reduced flow rate noticed

Double-check that the coupler was installed in the correct orientation and that no obstructions are present within the pipe or fitting. Ensure the pipe is not kinked upstream of the fitting.

Fitting leaks after installation

The fitting must be replaced. This indicates an improper press, damage to the fitting, or use of incorrect tools. Ensure correct installation procedures are followed for future connections.
