Footage C156 Manual PE Pipe Squeeze Tool

The Footage C156 is engineered to help crews perform temporary flow control during maintenance, repairs, service installations, and emergency response operations on PE and HDPE piping systems. Suitable for pipe sizes from 1″ to 4“, the tool delivers reliable squeeze-off performance while helping operators maintain consistent control throughout the process.

Constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum squeeze bars, chrome-plated steel side shafts, and a coated feed screw, the C156 is designed to withstand demanding field conditions while reducing friction and corrosion. Technicians can operate the tool using either the included detachable torque bar or a standard ratchet attached to the integrated hex drive. The swing-out bottom bar design simplifies loading and positioning, while the included grounding spike and stabilizing bar support safe and controlled operation in the field.
