Wal-Rich 2886004 – 3/4" Anodeless Gas Meter Riser with Epoxy-Coated Steel and PE2406 Outlet
The Wal-Rich 2886004 gas meter riser provides a direct transition from underground polyethylene gas pipe to an above-ground steel connection point. This 3/4" anodeless riser is engineered for use in buried gas service systems and constructed with corrosion-resistant materials to meet the requirements of modern natural gas and propane installations.
The riser features SDR-11 yellow PE2406 medium-density polyethylene on the outlet side, transitioning to an epoxy-coated steel pipe above grade. Its anodeless design eliminates the need for cathodic protection, simplifying code compliance while maintaining safety and performance.
