2 inch SDR 11 Con-Stab Pipe Adapter Male IPS

2 Inch SDR 11 Con-Stab Pipe Adapter – Male Iron Pipe Size (IPS) Connection

The 2 inch SDR 11 Con-Stab Pipe Adapter with male IPS threads is engineered for use with medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) gas piping systems. Designed to join PE tubing to a female threaded metal fitting, this transition component ensures structural integrity and gas-tight performance in underground or above-ground distribution systems.

Technical Overview

• Size: 2 inch nominal
• Wall Standard: SDR 11 (Standard Dimension Ratio)
• Connection: Con-Stab compression fitting to male NPT
• Material: High-density polyethylene and corrosion-resistant metal insert
• Pressure Rating: Designed for gas pressure systems up to 125 psi when installed per manufacturer specifications
• Temperature Range: -20°F to 140°F (operational)
• Certifications: Complies with ASTM D2513 and ANSI B1.20.1

Performance Characteristics

• Mechanical Joint Integrity: Compression-style stab connection ensures uniform grip on polyethylene pipe
• Threaded Transition: Male IPS threads facilitate direct connection to metallic gas system components
• Corrosion Resistance: Engineered for buried or exposed applications with minimal degradation over time
• No Heat Fusion Required: Eliminates the need for fusion equipment or open flame in the transition zone

Installation Considerations

This fitting must be installed following the manufacturer’s published instructions, including use with chamfered pipe ends and internal stiffener (when required). Ensure full stab depth and visual indicator engagement prior to pressurization. Proper torque should be applied to the male threads using thread sealant approved for gas service.

Application Use

Commonly deployed in municipal gas distribution, underground PE gas service lines, and regulated natural gas or propane installations. This adapter supports safe integration of polyethylene service piping into steel or brass manifolds, regulators, or valves.

Important Note

This fitting is intended for use in gas systems only and should not be used in potable water or compressed air systems. Always verify local codes and material compatibility before installation.

The 2 Inch SDR 11 Con-Stab Pipe Adapter Male IPS delivers a reliable polyethylene-to-metal transition for gas distribution systems where heat fusion is not feasible or permitted.
