Carrhill PT34 Gas Straight Transition Fitting Mipt Steel Mdpe

Product Description

The CARRHILL PT34 is a straight transition fitting designed to connect a 3/4-inch male iron pipe thread (MIPT) steel pipe to medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) gas distribution tubing. This fitting creates a reliable mechanical transition between metallic and plastic piping systems in natural gas or propane distribution lines. It is typically installed at the point where underground MDPE service lines meet above-ground or in-wall steel piping. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in residential and light commercial gas supply systems.

The PT34 is suited for gas distribution applications where a code-compliant, leak-free transition between steel and MDPE is required. Common install scenarios include service line connections at meter sets, building entry points, and stub-out locations where underground plastic gas pipe transitions to threaded steel risers. This fitting is appropriate for both new construction and replacement work in residential and small commercial gas piping systems.

Key Features

• Straight transition design connects 3/4-inch MIPT steel pipe directly to MDPE gas tubing
• Steel male iron pipe thread end suits standard threaded gas fittings and valves
• MDPE end compatible with medium-density polyethylene gas distribution pipe
• Straight configuration simplifies inline installation without offsets or bends
• Order increment of 1 allows single-unit purchasing for service and repair calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard transition fitting for 3/4-inch MIPT steel-to-MDPE gas piping connections in residential and light commercial gas distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and all applicable local codes. Shut off and verify the gas supply is fully depressurized before beginning any work on the fitting or connected piping. Apply an appropriate gas-rated thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MIPT threads before assembly, and ensure the MDPE end is joined using the correct fusion or mechanical method rated for gas service. Pressure-test the completed assembly per code requirements before returning the system to service.
