Homeflex 18-401-015 Yellow Poly Gas Pipe Tee 1-1/2 in SDR-11

Product Description

The HOMEFLEX 18-401-015 is a 1-1/2 inch IPS underground yellow polyethylene gas pipe tee rated for natural gas and LP distribution systems buried below grade. Built to SDR-11 wall thickness standards, it handles operating pressures up to 125 psi and temperatures up to 140 degrees F. The tee connects three runs of compatible poly gas pipe and ships with stiffeners for each pipe end to maintain bore integrity at the joint. Licensed gas fitters and plumbing professionals install this fitting during new underground gas service runs or system expansions.

This tee is designed for direct-burial underground gas piping applications in residential and light commercial settings. It is used where a branch connection is needed off a main poly gas line run, such as splitting service to outbuildings, meters, or appliance laterals. The yellow polyethylene construction meets standard color-coding for gas service piping. Each package includes the tee body and the required stiffener inserts for all three pipe ends.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with IFGC requirements and all applicable local codes. De-energize and purge the gas line before cutting into any existing piping. Insert the included stiffeners into each pipe end before making mechanical connections to prevent pipe wall collapse at the fitting. Direct-burial depth requirements vary by jurisdiction — confirm local cover depth rules before backfilling.
