Part of the T-4500 CTS series, this stiffener is inserted into the end of flexible plastic or composite tubing to maintain tube roundness and wall integrity when a compression or grip-style fitting is tightened down. Without proper stiffening, soft tubing can deform under compression load, causing leaks or fitting pullout. Plumbers and water service technicians rely on insert stiffeners to ensure consistent, leak-free connections on underground and above-ground service lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stiffener is suited for residential and light commercial water service applications where CTS polyethylene, PEX, or similar flexible tubing is joined using compression-style service saddles, curb stops, or corporation stops. It is a standard component in water meter and service line installations where tubing transitions occur at the meter set or at the curb box. The T-4500 series is a widely recognized product line in municipal and utility water service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, buried, and direct-contact soil environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSized for 1-1\/4 inch CTS tubing with compatibility noted for 1 inch IPS fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintains tube roundness under compression load to prevent deformation and leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to AWWA C800, the standard for underground service line fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.07 pounds per piece, reducing handling fatigue on high-volume installs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable in case quantities of 500 units, suitable for contractor and utility stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1-1\/4 inch CTS flexible tubing and fits 1 inch IPS compression-style fittings within the LEGEND VALVE T-4500 CTS product series.
