Abstract: The factors an individual gas utility must consider when selecting a plastic pipe system depend upon that companys own market growth pattern, established operating procedures, financial resources, workforce capabilities, and purchasing philosophy. Its safe to say that no single plastic pipe supplier can provide a single system that will satisfy the needs of each and every gas utility. Especially when we define a plastic pipe system to include far more than just the pipe, but also fittings, joining methods, pressure control devices, repair couplings and fittings, tooling, and so on. This presentation focuses on the various factors and alternatives the Southern California Gas Company (SoCal) has faced, over the past three decades, in arriving at our current plastic pipe program. A discussion of these considerations, should provide a representative overview of considerations common to most gas utilities.
