Carrhill ST2 Socket Fusion Gas Mdpe Tee 2 in

Product Description

The CARRHILL ST2 is a 2-inch socket fusion tee for medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) gas distribution piping. Yellow coloring identifies it as a gas-service fitting per standard industry practice. This tee is joined using a socket fusion tool, which heats the fitting socket and the pipe end simultaneously before pressing them together to form a permanent, monolithic bond. It is used by licensed gas piping contractors and utility crews working on underground or above-grade MDPE gas mains and service laterars.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial natural gas or propane distribution systems that use MDPE yellow pipe. Socket fusion is the preferred joining method in many jurisdictions for plastic gas piping operating at standard distribution pressures. Installation typically follows ASTM D2513 and applicable local gas codes. The ST2 is ordered in single-unit increments.

Key Features

• 2-inch socket fusion end connections for MDPE gas pipe
• Yellow color designates gas-service application per industry convention
• Tee configuration allows branch takeoffs from a main gas run
• Socket fusion joint creates a continuous, leak-free thermoplastic bond
• Single-unit order increment for flexible procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch MDPE yellow gas piping systems joined by socket fusion methods.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed gas piping contractor following applicable local and national gas codes, including IFGC requirements for plastic piping. Before beginning work, shut off the gas supply at the nearest upstream valve and verify the line is depressurized. Use a properly calibrated socket fusion tool set to the temperature specified by the pipe and fitting manufacturer. Do not attempt to reuse a fitting socket or apply heat to the joint a second time after fusion has initiated.
