Wavin Tigris Gas

Work on the system is easy and fast thanks to our standard Wavin Tigris pressing tools. The flexible PE-X/Al pipe means that few connections are needed.

    Wavin Singapore wins in the Construction category at the SBR International Business Awards 2023 for its Wavin Tigris K5/M5.

    The Wavin Tigris K5/M5 fitting is the world's first to feature an acoustic leak alert, revolutionising contractors' and installers' approach to leak detection. During air-based leak and pressure tests, the Wavin Tigris K5/M5 fitting emits a distinct whistle sound of up to 80dB, enabling easy identification of loose fittings and precise leak location. It also facilitates optimal flow with its enlarged inner bore, resulting in up to 50% more flow area compared to standard radial press fittings, reducing pressure losses and improving flow rate.

    What’s next?

    You can use the standard white Tigris PE-X/Al pipe for multiple purposes. Thanks to the oil-resistant O-ring in the Tigris gas fitting, you can also use it to build a compressed air system.

    No worries about connecting to accessories

    If you choose the Tigris gas system, you don't have to worry about connections to taps, valves and other accessories. We offer a comprehensive range of screw fittings, enabling virtually any connection to be made in no time at all.

    Flexible multilayer pipe with excellent shape retention

    We offer this system with a flexible multilayer pipe (PE-X/AI) as standard, which has excellent shape retention when the pipe bends. The Tigris PE-X/Al pipe for gas can easily be identified by its yellow colour. Tigris gas fittings can be recognised by their yellow ring.

    Reliable, leak-proof seal

    Thanks to the NBR O-ring in the Tigris gas fitting, you can be sure that you always create a reliable leak-proof connection. The yellow ring in the Tigris gas fitting prevents contact corrosion between the aluminium layer of the pipe and the brass fitting.
