Abstract: Our experience with plastic pipe for gas distribution use began in 1956 with experimental laboratory testing of different plastic materials. In 1964, when the company went to straight natural gas. we began installing polyethylene plastic tubing for gas service renewal. In 1965 we installed our first section of heat-fused plastic distribution main, and in 1968 the first section of butt-fused plastic polyethylene pipe was placed into service. As of January 1, 1974 we have installed 280 miles of plastic main and 75,000 plastic gas services. Except for a few installations of reinforced thermoset resin pipe, we have basically relied on polyethylene pipe, PE 2306 and 3406.
