A.Y. McDonald 4430-007 X-Riser Transition Fitting, 1-1/2" IPS x 1-1/2" MNPT, 36"
The A.Y. McDonald 4430-007 XR-31K-24-36-ZDC X-Riser is a zinc die cast transition fitting built for underground water service installations where SDR11 poly or PEX pipe needs to transition up to a threaded connection at grade. This riser is sized 1-1/2" IPS (SDR11/.173 wall) on the pipe-side connection and terminates in a 1-1/2" MNPT (male national pipe thread) fitting, with an overall length of 36". Rough-in plumbers and utility contractors use this fitting to carry a buried service line up through backfill to a meter, curb stop, or above-grade shutoff without requiring a field-fabricated riser assembly.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 1-1/2" IPS pipe-side connection sized to SDR11/.173 wall poly or PEX tubing.
- Threaded Outlet: 1-1/2" MNPT termination for connection to meter setters, curb stops, or above-grade valves and fittings.
- Overall Length: 36" riser length, engineered to carry the service line from buried depth up to grade in a single fitting.
- Durable Construction: Zinc die cast (ZDC) body for a rigid, corrosion-resistant transition point between flexible SDR11 pipe and rigid threaded hardware.
- X-Riser Configuration: Purpose-built riser geometry (XR-31K-24-36-ZDC) designed specifically for SDR11-rated service line transitions rather than a generic coupling.
- Simplified Rough-In: A single fitting replaces multiple field-cut and threaded joints when bringing a buried service line up to a meter or shutoff location.

Why A.Y. McDonald?
A.Y. McDonald builds waterworks and plumbing fittings engineered for the specific dimensional standards used in underground service line work, including SDR11 wall thickness and IPS sizing. The zinc die cast construction of the 4430-007 X-Riser is designed to hold up to the mechanical stress of a below-grade-to-above-grade transition, giving contractors a single reliable component instead of a multi-piece field assembly.
