Abstract:
A curb box for underground gas and water services includes a tubular member such as a pipe that extends from a valve in an underground line up to surface. A resiliently flexible tubular member segment is installed in the tubular member between an uppermost end of the tubular member and a lower portion of the tubular member. The resiliently flexible tubular member segment allows the uppermost end to resiliently flex relative to the lower portion. As such, if impacted, the uppermost end can resiliently yield at the resiliently flexible tubular member, thereby preventing the tubular member from being bent and rendered inoperable as a conduit to the valve in the underground line.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 10  further comprising telescopically collapsing the stem to reduce the length of the stem above the housing.
