A.Y. McDonald 4430-005 X-Riser 1-1/4" IPS SDR11 x 1-1/4" MNPT Transition Riser, 36" Length
The A.Y. McDonald 4430-005 X-Riser is a below-grade to above-grade transition fitting designed to connect 1 1/4" IPS SDR11 (.151" wall) polyethylene pipe to a 1 1/4" MNPT threaded connection, delivering a factory-built riser assembly in a 36" overall length. Identified in manufacturer data as the XR-27G-20-36-ZDC configuration, this X-Riser is built for direct-bury service line installations where a transition from buried PE pipe to a rigid above-grade or meter-set connection is required. The riser combines a polyethylene barrel with a threaded MNPT outlet, giving installers a single, pre-manufactured component at the critical transition point.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 1 1/4" IPS (iron pipe size) SDR11 with a .151" nominal wall thickness for the buried polyethylene leg.
- Threaded Outlet: 1 1/4" MNPT (male national pipe thread) connection for above-grade or meter-set hookup.
- Overall Length: 36" riser length, spanning the transition from below-grade pipe to the above-grade threaded connection.
- Transition Design: Purpose-built X-Riser configuration joins polyethylene SDR11 pipe to MNPT threads in a single fitting, reducing the number of field joints at the riser location.
- SDR11 Rated Pipe Leg: Standard Dimension Ratio 11 wall construction on the polyethylene section, consistent with common service riser applications.
- Model Designation: Manufactured and identified as XR-27G-20-36-ZDC per A.Y. McDonald product coding.

Why A.Y. McDonald?
A.Y. McDonald manufactures the 4430-005 X-Riser as a factory-built transition assembly, combining SDR11 polyethylene pipe with a threaded MNPT outlet so contractors get a consistent, single-source riser at the point where buried service piping comes above grade. Choosing a factory-built transition fitting like the 4430-005 helps installers standardize riser connections across service line and meter-set installations.
