The Tigris K5 range of multi-layer composite pipe and press-fit fittings is designed for potable water, sanitary and heating services in commercial, industrial or residential buildings.
Designed for easy installation, performance and reliability, the system comes with a unique acoustic leak alert function, with any unsecured fittings producing a loud whistling sound to help installers detect leaks.
The system is available in a range of sizes including 16, 20, 32 and 40mm.
Tigris K5 pipes are made of a diffusion-resistant composite pipe. The multi-layer pipe consists of an inner layer pipe made of cross-linked polyethylene (PEXc), an outer layer made of stabilised Polyethylene (PE) and a middle layer of aluminium. The three layers are connected by bonding agents.
Press-fit fittings are manufactured from high-performance plastic polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) which offers resistance to high temperatures and corrosion. PPSU’s have high impact strength and resistance to stress cracking.
Applications
Potable water installations
Hot and cold water services
Heating installations
Fan coil units
Tigris K5 is also suitable for installation where health and hygiene are of particular importance such as operating theatres or food preparation facilities.
