Questions and Answers for HOME-FLEX 2 in. IPS Poly DR 11 to 2 in. MIP Underground Meter Riser Bent

A:  Hi, Dale - No we don't. Our 3/4" riser has 3/4" IPS threads on the top; 3/4" PE pipe below. You can use a black iron 3/4" to 1/2" reducer coupling to make the final connections to the appliance(s).

A:  Hi, Bien - Yes.

A:  Hi, Georgia - Our Underground Gas products are approved in all 50 states, however, there are some gas providers that mandate use of products supplied by only their company. You should check with them prior to purchasing on HomeDepot.com.

A:  Hi, Rocky - Suggest you consult with the Home-Flex Underground Design & Installation Manual to fully answer the question. The guide is available for download at homeflex.com/resources/underground. You'd need to know the total btu/h for all gas appliances on the line, the capability of the meter, as well as the length of run. Generally speaking and based on experience, we can say that 1-1/4" sounds reasonable for your installation. Best to go through the estimating process, however.

A:  Not sure if this size will work for you. The national Gas Code has a chart that will help you size the line size (Diameter) based on the fuel requirements your devise will use and the run distance of the line.

A:  Hi, Hooter. You'll want to make sure you protect the metal sleeve against direct contact with wet concrete. Most use a PVC coupler to slide over the area of the riser that will touch the wet concrete. Please refer to the Underground Design & Installation Manual available at homeflex.com/resources. Thanks.

A:  Hi, Jeff - Because this review is on line for all to see and is subject to certain current conditions, we suggest you call our Customer Service Department at (661) 257-3923 x 1026 (Dave) or x 1010 (Jon) M-F 8a-5p Pacific time to discuss. In this particular case at this time, we have inventory of the 1.5" meter riser but there is apparently a glitch on HD's side that we're currently addressing to once again make it available for purchase on hd.com.

A:  Hi, Kyle - Yes we do make a 1 1/2" meter riser, but they're current "unavailable" on homedepot.com until their distribution centers receive current in-bound orders. They can, however, be special ordered at your local store in the meantime. Sorry for the inconvenience. Call me (Dave) if you need assistance. (661) 257-3923 x 1026 M-F 7:30a - 2p Pacific Time. Thanks.

A:  Yes, it can be brought into the fire pit under the burner assembly. It has a 30" vertical rise which will ensure that the yellow PE pipe will be at or below code mandated burial levels and will not be impacted by the heat of the fire pit. Please see our Home-Flex Underground System Design & Installation Manual available at homeflex.com/resources. Thanks.

A:  Hi, Pappy - Suggest you use 1 #18-445-020 2" transition fitting and 1 #18-440-010 1" transition fitting and a black iron 2" to 1" reducer coupling in between them.

A:  Menards uses to sell Home flex as well but I had to special order all my 1 1/4" risers, tees and elbows at Home Depot .

A:  Hi, Jason - We expect to be back in stock later this coming week. Home Depot ships all risers from their DCs, so once we have stock, there will be a slight lag while the DCs are fulfilled. BTW, all pipe and components are made to very specific material and dimensional standards, so any manufacturers' risers and other parts will fit on like sized pipe from other manufacturers. They are not brand specific.

A:  They are not brand  specific. You just 1-1/4” SDR 11 poly risers. You can try hdpesupply.com.  You can either get the plane and, or you can get the Walrich con-stab  brand which is a better joint than the crappy compression coupling they give you.
