Wal-Rich 2886008 – 1″ Anodeless Gas Meter Riser with Epoxy-Coated Steel and PE2406 OutletThe 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 inchVertical Length (Above Grade): 30 inchesHorizontal (Buried) Length: 28 inchesOutlet Material: Epoxy-coated carbon steelInlet Material: SDR-11 yellow PE2406 MDPEPressure Rating: 125 psiTemperature Range: -20°F to 140°FDesign Compliance:ASTM D2513DOT 49 CFR Part 192Coating: Fusion-bonded epoxy on exposed steelConnection Type: Factory-fused transition (no field welding or threading required)Country of Origin: USAKey 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 buildingsNatural gas or propane distributionMeter set connectionsTransition from underground MDPE piping to above-ground steel pipingInstallation 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.
