Steel-to-MDPE Transition
The PETR-Series is designed specifically to transition from steel underground piping to polyethylene (MDPE) underground piping. This provides a transition point between the steel and polyethylene portions of an underground gas piping system.
Materials & Construction
- Steel gas carrier: ASTM A53/API 5L
- Polyethylene pipe: ASTM D2513
- Epoxy coating: AGA 49 grey
- Cathodic disbondment testing: ASTM G8
- Salt spray testing: ASTM B117
- Impact resistance testing: ASTM G14
Pressure Ratings & Approved Gases
Pressure Ratings
- Maximum working pressure: 80 PSIG
- Maximum testing pressure: 120 PSIG
Approved Gases
- Natural Gas
- LP (Propane)
CTS, IPS & SDR Selection
The PETR-Series includes both CTS and IPS polyethylene pipe configurations. Confirm the complete MDPE pipe designation before ordering, including nominal size, CTS or IPS dimensional system, and SDR where applicable.
The 1-1/4" IPS transition is available in both SDR 11 and SDR 10 configurations. These are separate fittings and should be matched to the appropriate polyethylene pipe.
Installation
Product installation and system testing shall be completed by a qualified installer in accordance with NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (National Fuel Gas Code), National Gas & Propane Installation Code B149.1 (Canada), applicable state and local codes, and the current Pro-Flex Installation/Training Guide.
