WAVIN elbow fitting 16 x 1/2 PEXal Tigris M5 (model 4064210)

WAVIN elbow fitting 16 x 1/2 PEXal Tigris M5 is a 90° angled connector designed for use with PEXal/Tigris multilayer and composite plumbing pipes. The fitting provides a compact right-angle transition between 16 mm tubing and a 1/2" threaded component, using an M5 thread designation for reliable mechanical engagement. It is intended for residential and light commercial installations where space is limited and a durable, leak-resistant elbow connection is required.

Advantages

The fitting offers a compact 90° profile that reduces the need for pipe bending and saves installation space. Constructed to match PEXal/Tigris pipe dimensions, it ensures consistent alignment and secure connection with threaded fixtures. Its design simplifies assembly in confined areas and supports standard plumbing practice for quick, reliable joins between flexible or composite pipe and threaded components.

Suitable for

• Domestic potable water supply lines with PEXal/Tigris multilayer pipes
• Under-sink and appliance connections where a 90° turn is required
• Light commercial plumbing runs in bathrooms and kitchens
• Tight installation spaces behind fixtures and within service cupboards

Key specifications

• Piping compatibility: PEXal / Tigris multilayer or composite pipes
• Pipe connection size: 16 mm
• Threaded connection: 1/2"
• Thread designation: M5
• Application range: potable water and general plumbing installations

How to use

Prepare the PEXal/Tigris pipe by cutting to length and deburring the end to ensure a square, clean edge. Slide the appropriate compression or connection sleeve over the pipe as required by the system, then insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it seats correctly. Engage the threaded 1/2" component and tighten according to manufacturer torque guidance for the system in use. Verify alignment and ensure all seals and ferrules are positioned before final tightening. After installation, perform a pressure test of the system in accordance with local plumbing regulations to confirm leak-free operation.

Usage recommendations

Use the fitting with compatible PEXal/Tigris multilayer or approved composite pipes and matching connection sleeves or ferrules. Follow local plumbing codes and the WAVIN installation instructions for allowable pressure, temperature ranges, and correct torque values. In confined installations, allow access for inspection and future maintenance when planning connection orientation.
