Nomaco PERISER2-A Anodeless Meter Riser 2 Inch Steel Xpoly

Product Description

The NOMACO PERISER2-A is a 2-inch anodeless meter riser designed for natural gas distribution systems. It combines a steel body with crosslinked polyethylene (Xpoly) construction to transition gas service lines from below grade to the meter assembly above ground. Anodeless risers eliminate the need for cathodic protection hardware by isolating the buried plastic carrier pipe from the aboveground metallic components. Licensed gas utility contractors and plumbing professionals install this fitting during new service installations and meter set replacements.

This riser is suited for residential and light commercial natural gas meter installations where a 2-inch service line transitions from underground Xpoly piping to the aboveground meter set. It is used in direct-bury applications where the plastic carrier pipe is protected from corrosion without requiring sacrificial anodes or impressed-current systems. The steel aboveground section provides the structural support and connection point required at the meter.

Key Features

• Anodeless design eliminates cathodic protection hardware at the transition point
• 2-inch pipe size suits standard residential and light commercial gas service lines
• Steel aboveground section provides structural rigidity at the meter connection
• Crosslinked polyethylene (Xpoly) carrier pipe offers corrosion resistance for the buried section
• Designed for direct-bury natural gas service line applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch anodeless meter riser applications on natural gas distribution systems using crosslinked polyethylene service piping.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed gas technician or qualified utility contractor in accordance with applicable codes including IFGC and local gas utility requirements. Shut off gas supply and verify zero pressure before making any connections. The buried Xpoly section must be installed at the depth required by local codes, and the aboveground steel riser must be properly supported to prevent mechanical stress at the transition fitting. Do not use pipe dope or thread sealants on compression or fusion-style connections not rated for such compounds.
