Footage C1200 Hydraulic PE Pipe Squeeze Tool

Designed for contractors, gas utility operators, and pipeline professionals, the Footage C1200 Hydraulic PE Pipe Squeeze Tool provides controlled temporary flow isolation on large-diameter polyethylene piping systems. Its hydraulic system produces up to 150 tons of squeezing force, helping crews effectively compress 8-inch to 12-inch HDPE and MDPE pipe during maintenance, repairs, and other squeeze-off operations.

The C1200 features CNC-machined construction with no welded components for enhanced durability in demanding field conditions. Its lock-in/swing-out bottom bar improves pipe access, while mechanical lockdown bolts maintain compression if hydraulic pressure is removed. An 8-sided positive-locking gauge system provides controlled squeeze settings, and the specialized dog bone jaw design helps maximize flow control while reducing the force needed to compress the pipe.

Key Features

8" to 12" HDPE and MDPE Pipe Capacity

Designed for large-diameter polyethylene squeeze-off applications involving HDPE and MDPE pipe from 8 inches through 12 inches.

Up to 150 Tons of Squeezing Force

Generates up to 150 tons of force to provide the compression required for effective flow control on large-diameter PE pipe.

10,000 PSI Hydraulic System

A high-pressure hydraulic system with quick-connect fittings supports efficient setup and dependable operation in the field.

CNC-Machined Construction

Indexable gauge plates help establish accurate, controlled compression settings for supported pipe configurations.

Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Squeeze Bars

High-strength aluminum squeeze bars provide durability while helping minimize the tool's overall weight.

Chrome-Plated Steel Side Shafts

Steel side shafts feature chrome plating for improved corrosion resistance and long-term durability in harsh field conditions.

Lock-In/Swing-Out Bottom Bar

The bottom bar swings out to simplify pipe positioning and locks securely into place for squeeze-off operations, including work in restricted areas.

Mechanical Lockdown Bolts

Built-in mechanical lockdown bolts maintain the squeeze position if the hydraulic system is disconnected or pressure is removed.

Dog Bone Jaw Design

Specialized jaw geometry is designed to improve flow-control efficiency while reducing the squeezing force required to compress the pipe.

10-Foot Heavy-Duty Grounding Spike

A 10-foot heavy-duty grounding spike is included to support safer squeeze-off operations in the field.

Custom Gauge Plate Options

Custom gauge plates are available for specialized polyethylene pipe sizes and application requirements.

Benefits

Isolate Large-Diameter PE Pipe Reliably

The combination of high squeezing force and optimized jaw geometry provides dependable temporary flow control on 8-inch to 12-inch HDPE and MDPE systems.

Improve Jobsite Safety

The included grounding equipment, positive-locking components, and mechanical lockdown system support controlled squeeze-off procedures during utility maintenance and emergency repair work.

Maintain Compression if Hydraulic Pressure Is Lost

Mechanical lockdown bolts help keep the pipe compressed even after hydraulic pressure is removed, giving crews greater confidence during extended operations.

Reduce Setup and Removal Time

Quick-connect hydraulic fittings and the swing-out bottom bar streamline tool setup, pipe positioning, and removal, helping crews minimize downtime.

Work More Effectively in Restricted Areas

The lock-in/swing-out bottom bar improves access around large-diameter pipe when working in confined or difficult-to-reach locations.

Get Long-Term Field Durability

CNC-machined components, aircraft-grade aluminum squeeze bars, and chrome-plated steel shafts provide a rugged construction designed for demanding utility environments.

Control Compression More Precisely

Positive-locking, indexable gauge plates help operators establish appropriate squeeze settings and maintain consistent pipe compression.
