Wal-Rich 2886013 – 1-1/4" Anodeless Gas Meter Riser, Epoxy Coated, PE2406
The Wal-Rich 2886013 Gas Meter Riser is a 1-1/4" anodeless transition fitting designed for underground gas distribution systems. Manufactured with a medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) outlet and epoxy-coated steel pipe, this riser provides a corrosion-resistant, code-compliant connection from PE gas piping to above-ground meters or steel pipe systems.
The riser utilizes PE2406 MDPE tubing with SDR-11 dimensions for compatibility with standard fusion or mechanical fittings. With a working pressure rating of 125 psi and a temperature operating range of -20°F to 140°F, this component is built for underground gas service in residential and commercial installations.
Product Specifications:
Nominal Size: 1-1/4"
Material: Yellow MDPE PE2406 (SDR-11) to epoxy-coated steel transition
Type: Anodeless riser
Pressure Rating: 125 psi
Temperature Range: -20°F to 140°F
Vertical Riser Length: 32 inches
Horizontal (Bury) Length: 34 inches
Finish: Fusion-bonded epoxy coating on exposed steel
Manufacturing Origin: Domestic
Features:
Anodeless Transition – Eliminates the need for cathodic protection, simplifying compliance with corrosion control requirements.
Corrosion Protection – Epoxy coating on steel provides long-term resistance against soil and moisture degradation.
Code-Compliant Design – Meets ASTM D2513 and DOT requirements for gas service risers.
SDR-11 Compatibility – Designed to match standard wall thickness for polyethylene gas piping systems.
Factory-Assembled and Tested – Ensures tight seals and proper transition between plastic and metal piping.
Application Notes:
This riser is intended for use in natural gas and propane distribution systems where a buried PE gas line transitions to an above-ground meter assembly. Must be installed by qualified gas utility personnel or licensed professionals in accordance with NFPA 54, local plumbing/gas codes, and utility requirements.
Installation Considerations:
Transition fitting is permanently fused at the factory; field fusion is not required on the steel side.
Requires standard trenching practices for PE piping systems.
PE end may be joined to gas piping using butt fusion, electrofusion, or mechanical compression fittings rated for PE2406 SDR-11.
