Carrhill ST112 Socket Fusion Gas Mdpe Tee 1.5 in

Product Description

The CARRHILL ST112 is a 1.5-inch socket fusion tee designed for medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) gas distribution piping systems. Manufactured in yellow to meet the color-coding convention for gas service, this fitting is joined using a socket fusion process that creates a monolithic, leak-resistant connection without mechanical fasteners or adhesives. Licensed gas fitters and utility contractors install this type of fitting during the installation or repair of underground or above-grade MDPE gas mains and service lines.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial gas distribution applications where MDPE pipe is the specified material. It is used to create branch connections within a gas piping network. The socket fusion joining method requires compatible fusion tooling heated to the manufacturer-specified temperature range, making this fitting appropriate for structured installation environments where proper fusion equipment is available on site.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch socket fusion end connections for MDPE gas pipe
• Yellow color indicates natural gas service per industry convention
• Socket fusion design creates a continuous, monolithic joint
• Tee configuration allows branch connections in gas distribution lines
• Compatible with standard socket fusion tooling used in gas utility work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for 1.5-inch MDPE gas distribution piping systems where socket fusion joining is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed gas fitter or qualified utility contractor in accordance with applicable codes, including IFGC and local gas utility standards. Shut off and verify the gas supply is isolated and depressurized before making any connections. Socket fusion joints require clean, deoxidized pipe ends and properly calibrated fusion tooling held at the correct temperature for the required melt and join cycle. Do not disturb the joint until the full cooling time has elapsed.
