Complete eBay Description

The Continental Industries 9953-99-0511-72 is a 72-inch (6-foot) flexible gas riser designed for transitioning 1/2″ CTS polyethylene gas tubing to a 1/2″ female swivel flare connection.

The flexible riser configuration provides mechanical protection for polyethylene gas piping as it approaches or emerges into an above-ground connection while allowing easier routing than a rigid riser. Continental’s flexible-riser design incorporates a protective flexible casing, service-head connection, poly liner, and moisture-sealing components.

This particular model’s 6-foot length makes it useful where additional routing flexibility or distance is needed between underground polyethylene piping and the equipment or service connection.

The female swivel flare connection also helps simplify installation by allowing the fitting to be connected without unnecessarily twisting the riser assembly.

Typical Applications

Suitable for compatible installations such as:

• Natural gas distribution systems
• Propane/LPG piping systems where approved
• Underground polyethylene gas service lines
• Meter and regulator installations
• Residential gas services
• Commercial gas installations
• Utility service connections
• PE-to-above-ground transition installations

Continental Con-Flex risers are described in industry literature as flexible protective casings for polyethylene gas piping; related literature also identifies applications in propane systems.
