Wal-Rich 2886020 – 2" Anodeless Gas Meter Riser, 125 PSI Rated
The Wal-Rich 2" anodeless riser provides a corrosion-resistant transition from underground polyethylene gas piping to aboveground rigid connections. This riser incorporates a patented ID seal transition fitting and is pre-coated with a corrosion-resistant epoxy finish for buried service.
Designed for use in natural gas and LPG distribution systems, this riser features a fusion-bonded joint between the steel pipe and polyethylene tubing, allowing for a secure, permanent connection without field welding or threading. The anodeless design eliminates the need for cathodic protection while maintaining compliance with ANSI and DOT performance requirements.
