Nomaco PETRFIT112 Pipe Transition Fitting 1.5 Inches

Product Description

The NOMACO PETRFIT112 is a 1.5-inch transition fitting designed to connect steel pipe to polyethylene pipe in mechanical piping systems. Transition fittings like this one bridge two different pipe materials at a single joint, maintaining flow continuity while accommodating the mechanical and thermal differences between metal and plastic pipe. This fitting is used where a steel distribution line hands off to a polyethylene service or branch line, a common configuration in gas distribution, water service, and underground utility piping. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or gas service technicians depending on the application.

The PETRFIT112 is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a 1.5-inch steel-to-polyethylene transition is required. Typical scenarios include underground gas service entry points, water service laterals, and meter set assemblies where the pipe material changes from a steel main to a polyethylene run. Specific system or model compatibility was not provided in the product data.

Key Features

• Connects 1.5-inch steel pipe to 1.5-inch polyethylene pipe at a single transition joint
• Steel end accommodates standard threaded or welded steel pipe connections
• Polyethylene end designed for heat fusion or mechanical coupling to PE pipe
• Compact fitting profile suitable for in-line and buried installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation transition fitting for 1.5-inch steel-to-polyethylene piping systems in gas, water, or utility service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas technician in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the line before cutting or disassembling any piping. Ensure the steel end thread engagement and the polyethylene end fusion or mechanical connection meet local code requirements. Do not overtighten threaded connections or apply heat fusion to the steel end.
