Anderson Metals Corp 710559-04 Compression Stiffener Sleeve

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 710559-04 is a compression stiffener sleeve designed for use with 1/4 inch OD plastic tubing. It provides internal support at compression fittings, preventing soft plastic tubing from collapsing under compression load and maintaining a reliable, leak-free seal. Sold as a 2-pack, this product is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380. It is commonly installed by plumbers and HVAC technicians working with plastic supply lines, refrigerant drain lines, or similar small-diameter tubing applications.

This stiffener sleeve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC installations where 1/4 inch OD plastic tubing connects to standard compression fittings. It is particularly useful when working with softer tubing materials such as polyethylene or nylon that require internal reinforcement to maintain fitting integrity. The carded 2-pack format is convenient for service technicians who carry common repair stock in the field.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off the water supply or isolate the tubing run before disassembling any compression fitting. Insert the stiffener sleeve into the end of the plastic tubing before seating the tubing into the compression fitting body. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as excessive force can crack fittings or deform the sleeve.
