1" Gas Meter Riser

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. Product Specifications: Nominal Size: 1 inch Vertical Length (Above Grade): 30 inches Horizontal (Buried) Length: 28 inches Outlet Material: Epoxy-coated carbon steel Inlet Material: SDR-11 yellow PE2406 MDPE Pressure Rating: 125 psi Temperature Range: -20°F to 140°F Design Compliance: ASTM D2513 DOT 49 CFR Part 192 Coating: Fusion-bonded epoxy on exposed steel Connection Type: Factory-fused transition (no field welding or threading required) Country of Origin: USA 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.
