Footage C50 Manual PE Pipe Squeeze Tool

The Footage C50 Manual PE Pipe Squeeze Tool provides a compact, dependable solution for temporarily controlling flow in polyethylene pipe. Designed for gas utility crews, pipeline contractors, municipalities, and maintenance professionals, the C50 accommodates 1/2″ through 1-1/4″ PE pipe for repair, maintenance, and service applications.

Its swing-out, lock-in bottom bar simplifies pipe loading, while four-sided positive-locking, indexable gauge plates help operators maintain the proper squeeze limit and protect the pipe from over-squeezing. Aircraft-grade aluminum squeeze bars help keep the tool lightweight without sacrificing durability, and plated steel side shafts and a heat-treated feed screw are designed to withstand repeated field use.

For added operational safety, the C50 also comes standard with a 5-foot grounding spike. At only 4.5 pounds, its compact construction makes it easy to carry, position, and use in demanding field environments.
