Carrhill PT2 Gas Straight Transition Fitting 2 in Mipt Steel X Mdpe

Product Description

The CARRHILL PT2 is a 2-inch male iron pipe thread (MIPT) steel to medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) straight transition fitting designed for natural gas distribution systems. This fitting creates a reliable mechanical connection between steel pipe infrastructure and MDPE plastic gas pipe, allowing installers to transition materials without additional adapters. It is sized at 2 inches on both the steel MIPT and MDPE ends and is built for buried or above-grade gas service applications. Licensed gas fitters and plumbing contractors install this type of fitting during new service runs, meter set installations, and gas main extensions.

This transition fitting is suited for residential and light commercial gas piping systems where a direct steel-to-MDPE connection is required. Typical applications include service lateral installations, gas meter connections, and underground distribution lines that transition from steel mains to MDPE branch runs. The straight configuration keeps the piping path linear, simplifying layout in tight utility corridors or trench installations.

Key Features

• 2-inch MIPT steel end threads onto standard iron pipe fittings and valves
• MDPE end provides a direct fusion or mechanical connection to plastic gas pipe
• Straight body configuration for in-line transitions without offset
• Steel construction on the threaded end for durability at the connection point
• Designed for gas service piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch steel-to-MDPE gas piping systems where a straight transition is required.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed gas fitter or plumbing professional in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off and bleed all gas pressure from the line before making or breaking any threaded or mechanical connections. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant rated for gas service on the MIPT end, and follow the MDPE pipe manufacturer guidelines for the plastic end connection method. Pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.
