Wavin Tigris is a system of multilayer pipes and fittings. The manufacturer describes its use for drinking water and heating, but the precise purpose must be checked against the selected system variant and the specific product documentation. S03
A press-fit joint is made using the appropriate tool and the specified installation procedure. A proposal should therefore be assessed as a whole: pipe, fitting, tool suitability, the installer's work and system testing. Two parts looking alike or having the same diameter does not prove compatibility.
Some Tigris K5/M5 fittings include the manufacturer's unpressed-joint detection function. Its operation depends on specified test conditions. This is not a continuously operating electronic leak alarm and does not replace a leak-tightness check of the entire system. S04
A water supply plan should allow for shutting off the water, maintenance locations and how pipework fits around furniture and fixtures. It is worth recording concealed work before the structure is closed up.
Before ordering: ask for the system model and testing procedure to be specified. This makes it clearer what you are paying for and what information you will have for future repairs.
