Wal-Rich 2886008 – 1" Anodeless Gas Meter Riser with Epoxy-Coated Steel and PE2406 Outlet
The Wal-Rich 2886008 is a 1" nominal anodeless gas riser designed to transition underground polyethylene gas piping to above-ground steel piping at meter sets. This riser combines a yellow medium-density polyethylene (PE2406) inlet with an epoxy-coated steel outlet, offering long-term reliability in buried gas service installations. The pre-assembled anodeless transition eliminates the need for field-applied cathodic protection.
Built for use in natural gas and propane distribution systems, the riser meets applicable ASTM and DOT standards and is compatible with SDR-11 piping systems.

Key Features:
Anodeless Transition – Eliminates the need for cathodic protection while maintaining electrical isolation between steel and polyethylene.
Durable Construction – PE2406 outlet resists cracking and environmental stress, while the epoxy-coated steel provides long-term corrosion protection.
SDR-11 Compatible – Designed for use with standard gas distribution piping dimensions.
Pre-Assembled and Pressure-Tested – Reduces installation time and ensures joint integrity.
Code-Compliant – Meets standards required for underground gas distribution systems in residential and light commercial applications.
Approved Uses:
Gas service lines for residential and commercial buildings
Natural gas or propane distribution
Meter set connections
Transition from underground MDPE piping to above-ground steel piping
Installation Guidelines:
Installers must follow applicable utility and municipal gas codes. PE outlet is compatible with standard fusion and mechanical fittings rated for SDR-11 PE2406 piping. Above-ground portion must be properly supported and protected. Trench depth, bedding, and backfill materials must comply with local requirements.
