Dear Mr. Waldrop:
Your letter to Mr. Frank Fulton dated January 7, 1974, asked if certain service risers made for use with plastic service piping would meet Office of Pipeline Saftety’s regulations. You specifically named items made by Perfection Coprporation and Kerotest Manufacturing Corporation, both of which consist of a metal sheath used as a protective shield over a plastic service riser assembly. From the information provided it appears that if these risers are installed so that all the below ground gas containing materials are plastic, no cathodic protection is required. The metallic sheath is not considered part of a pipeline as that term is defined in Section 192.3 of the Federal safety standards. However, the installation must still comply with the requirements of Section 192.375, Service lines: plastic, and the limitations of Section 192.123, Design limitations for plastic pipe, are applicable.
Thank you for your interest. We trust this answers your question satisfactorily.
Sincerely,
CESAR DE LEON
Joseph C. Caldwell
Director
Office of Pipeline Safety
