Chicago Fittings X-Riser®

Chicago Fittings X-Riser® systems are engineered to provide a safer and more reliable transition from underground polyethylene gas piping to above-ground gas distribution systems. Designed for natural gas and propane gas applications, the X-Riser® minimizes underground joints by incorporating an integral service head adapter, helping reduce potential leak points and long-term maintenance concerns.

By eliminating a minimum of two below-grade joints compared to traditional pigtail-style anodeless risers, the X-Riser® moves critical connections above ground where they are more accessible for inspection and service. Combined with proven Sealastic® sealing technology, it offers a dependable and cost-effective solution for gas distribution systems.
