From April 26 to July 30, 2021, any plumber who wishes to do so can request a free sample online at www.wavin.fr/tigris. The product will then be sent to the customer so they can assess its quality and benefits. In addition, as part of this major activation plan, Wavin is rolling out various promotional activities in all participating stores for purchases of €375 or more.

Tigris M5, a global innovation

The Tigris M5 fitting from Wavin is one of the most significant recent innovations in terms of securing sanitary installations.

Its special feature: being the only fitting in the world equipped with an integrated acoustic leak detection system.

Designed for connecting multi-layer water supply pipes, the Tigris M5 fitting is available in around a hundred references, from 16 to 40 mm in diameter.

On construction sites, the installation of hydrodistribution networks can indeed hold some surprises during the water supply. A poorly crimped fitting and it's a leak. The Tigris M5 fitting prevents these inconveniences, which sometimes require re-purging the circuits.

Developed to meet the needs of installers, The Tigris M5 is equipped with ACOUSTIC LEAK ALERT technology which, in the event of a loose or incorrectly crimped connection, emits a whistling sound during a pre-acceptance test carried out in air. This 80 dB whistle makes it easier to locate leaks, saving valuable time on site.

Another advantage is that using air during testing allows the installation to be kept watertight, preventing any damage due to frost on unheated construction sites during the winter. the absence of water in the circuits prevents any stagnation extended before receipt of the work, thus reducing the risks of legionella development.

And for even more safety when filling with water, The Tigris M5 benefits from the DEFINED LEAK system. This allows for the identification of any residual uncrimped connections thanks to a visible stream of water from 2,5 bars of pressure.

The Tigris M5 connector is a true concentration of technology that has many other advantages designed to facilitate the work of installers and ensure high-quality connections. As evidenced by IN4SURE technology which makes the tube visible at 360° at the end of its fitting. A clever window on the perfectly fitted tube allows for confident crimping. The patented EASYFIT hexagonal head also makes it easier to fit the fitting onto the tube, reducing the work effort.

Designed to provide optimum hydraulic performance, The Tigris M5 fitting from Wavin is equipped with the OPTI FLOW system which provides a large passage section for improved water flow. Pressure losses are reduced to provide the network with its full performance.

Finally, with Tigris M5 fittings, there is no need to acquire new tools. With the MULTI JAW process, the crimping plier profiles U, Up, H, TH and B are perfectly compatible and guarantee secure connections.

A muscular activation plan

Because the Tigris M5 is a unique connection on the market, such a novelty required a muscular activation plan. From April 26 to December 31, 2021, Wavin has developed numerous offers intended for plumbers and heating engineers in its partner sales outlets.

Firstly, the special Installer offer allows the tradesman to purchase an assortment of 120 fittings for 375 euros excluding VAT with a free Sortimo L-Box case. And the Wavin plan is available, depending on the purchase volume, in different offers with the key to many gifts necessary for the craftsman's tool kit such as calibration sets, crimpers and jaws, air compressors.

To test the Tigris M5 is to adopt it. This is why Wavin invites all plumbers and heating engineers to request their free sample. To do this, simply visit the Wavin website and fill out the form. A 10 cm multilayer pipe and a Tigris M5 fitting will be sent to you as soon as possible. The plumber-heating engineer will then have the opportunity to playfully handle and test the fitting to hear the whistling sound, which is a sign of its effectiveness.
