Titeflex tfm201 Striker Plate 3.25 X 6.5 Inches Csst

Product Description

The TITEFLEX tfm201 is a hardened steel striker plate designed to protect corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) at structural penetration points. Measuring 3.25 inches by 6.5 inches, it provides a physical barrier between CSST lines and fasteners such as nails or screws that could otherwise puncture the flexible gas tubing. This plate is listed specifically for use with Gastite and FlashShield CSST systems and is required wherever the gas line passes through studs, joists, top plates, or similar framing members. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this component as part of a code-compliant CSST installation.

The tfm201 striker plate is used in residential and light commercial gas piping installations wherever Gastite or FlashShield CSST penetrates wood or similar structural framing. Code requirements mandate mechanical protection at every penetration point to guard against accidental damage from construction fasteners. This plate meets that requirement and is the specified protection device for use within these CSST systems.
