WAVIN wall elbow 16 x 1/2" GW PEXAL TIGRIS M5 (model 4064404)

WAVIN wall elbow 16 x 1/2" GW PEXAL TIGRIS M5 is a right-angle plumbing fitting designed for wall-mounted installations where a secure transition is required between 16 mm PEXal/Tigris piping and a 1/2" female threaded connection. The fitting provides a compact connection point for threaded fixtures, valves or adapters, enabling a neat and stable outlet from the wall for potable water and heating systems. Its geometry reduces stress on tubing at the connection point and keeps the external profile low to suit installations where space behind a cover plate or escutcheon is limited.

Advantages

The wall elbow offers a plumber-friendly combination of PEXal compression connection and a 1/2" female threaded interface, which simplifies the transition between polymer pipe and metal-threaded components. Its compact right-angle form reduces visible protrusion and helps align fixtures with wall plates. The design is suitable for potable water and heating circuits and provides a durable mechanical connection when installed according to manufacturer guidance.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm PEXal/Tigris tubing to 1/2" female threaded valves or fittings
• Wall-mounted outlets for sinks, showers, radiators or concealed plumbing installations
• Potable water supply and heating distribution systems

Key specifications

• Connection to PEXal/Tigris pipe: 16 mm
• Threaded interface: 1/2" female (GW) thread
• Orientation: 90° (right-angle) wall elbow
• Use case: wall-mounted outlet for potable water and heating systems
• Compact external profile suitable for mounting behind escutcheons or plates

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm PEXal/Tigris pipe end by cutting squarely and deburring. Insert the pipe into the fitting according to the PEXal joining method recommended for the system and ensure the connection is seated fully. Thread the 1/2" female side to the corresponding male threaded fixture or valve, applying suitable thread sealant or tape where required by the receiving component. Position the elbow so the outlet aligns with the wall escutcheon or plate, then check for leak-tightness under operational pressure following system test procedures.

Usage recommendations

Install the fitting in accordance with local plumbing codes and the PEXal system installation guidelines. Verify compatibility of the threaded mating component and use appropriate sealing materials. Inspect connections after pressure testing and before closing wall access to ensure durable, leak-free performance.
