Nomaco PETRFIT1 Steel to Poly Transition Fitting 1 Inch

Product Description

The NOMACO PETRFIT1 is a 1-inch transition fitting designed to connect steel pipe to polyethylene (poly) pipe in underground or above-grade piping systems. Transition fittings like the PETRFIT1 are used where a metallic supply line meets a plastic distribution line, providing a secure, leak-resistant joint between two dissimilar pipe materials. This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or gas distribution technicians working on natural gas, propane, or water service lines.

The PETRFIT1 is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a changeover from steel to polyethylene pipe is required. Common installation scenarios include service line transitions at meter sets, curb stops, or building entry points where underground poly pipe transitions to above-grade steel. Installers should verify pressure ratings and material compatibility for the specific media and service conditions prior to installation.

Key Features

• Connects 1-inch steel pipe to 1-inch polyethylene pipe in a single fitting
• Designed for transitions between dissimilar pipe materials
• Suitable for underground and above-grade piping applications
• Compact design for use in confined installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation transition fitting for 1-inch steel-to-polyethylene piping systems. Verify thread type, pipe schedule, and service media compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before cutting or disconnecting any pipe section. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for the service media on any threaded connections. Do not overtighten or use pipe wrenches directly on the polyethylene portion of the fitting.
