FAQs

What is the minimum bending radius for the 25mm Tigris K1 pipe?

The minimum bending radius is typically 5 times the outer diameter of the pipe, but always refer to the official Wavin installation guidelines for precise specifications.

Can this pipe be used for underground applications?

While the material is durable, specific guidelines for underground use, including burial depth and protection, must be followed. Consult Wavin's technical data sheets for suitability and installation requirements.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need Wavin Tigris K1 press tools with the correct 25mm jaws, a pipe cutter, and a deburring tool.

How does the press-fit system ensure a watertight seal?

The press-fit system uses an O-ring seal within the fitting and a mechanical deformation of the fitting onto the pipe, creating a highly reliable and durable seal.

What is the expected lifespan of the Tigris K1 system?

When installed correctly and used within its specified operating parameters, the Wavin Tigris K1 system is designed for a long service life, often exceeding 50 years.

Is this pipe suitable for high-temperature heating systems?

Yes, the Tigris K1 system is designed for heating applications and can handle the temperatures and pressures typically found in central heating systems, provided they are within the product's specifications.

Troubleshooting

Press tool fails to crimp correctly

Ensure the correct jaw size is selected for the 25mm pipe and fitting. Check that the tool is fully charged (if battery-powered) and that the pipe and fitting are properly seated.

Leak detected at a connection

The connection may not have been pressed correctly or the pipe/fitting may be damaged. The affected section will need to be cut out and replaced with a new joint.

Pipe is difficult to bend

Use a pipe bender or appropriate support to avoid kinking the pipe. Do not attempt to bend the pipe beyond its recommended minimum bending radius, consult Wavin guidelines.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting

Ensure the pipe end is clean, round, and free of burrs. Check for any obstructions inside the fitting. Do not force the pipe; re-cut if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fast and simple installation due to press-fit technology.
  • Eliminates the need for open flames or solvent cements, improving safety.
  • Consistent and reliable joint integrity, reducing leak potential.
  • Long-lasting performance in demanding plumbing environments.
  • Cost-effective for large installations due to the coil length and efficient fitting process.

Cons

  • Requires specific press-fitting tools, adding to initial setup costs.
  • Pipe is less flexible than some other materials, requiring careful bending around obstacles.
  • Potential for damage if incorrect tools or techniques are used.
  • Not suitable for all types of extreme chemical exposure without further compatibility checks.
  • The 50m length can be cumbersome to handle in very confined areas without assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you have the correct Wavin Tigris K1 press tools and jaws sized for 25mm pipe. Cut the pipe cleanly to the required length using a pipe cutter. Ensure the pipe end is smooth and free from burrs. Insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop. Use the press tool to create a permanent, secure joint.

Compatibility: The Wavin Tigris K1 system is specifically designed for use with Wavin Tigris K1 fittings. It is intended for potable water, sanitary, and heating applications. Always consult Wavin's technical documentation for specific temperature and pressure ratings.

Care: Keep the pipe protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures during storage. Avoid sharp impacts or excessive kinking. Clean any dirt or debris from the pipe ends before making a connection using a clean cloth. Regular system checks for leaks are recommended as part of general plumbing maintenance.
