Footage C1600 Hydraulic PE Pipe Squeeze Tool

Designed for large-diameter polyethylene pipeline applications, the Footage C1600 Hydraulic PE Pipe Squeeze Tool provides utility operators and contractors with a powerful solution for temporary flow restriction and line isolation. The tool accommodates 12-inch through 16-inch MDPE and HDPE pipe and generates up to 261 tons of squeezing force for effective flow control.

The C1600 features CNC-machined, weld-free construction for increased strength and long-term reliability. Its 10,000 PSI hydraulic system delivers the squeezing force required for large PE pipe, while specialized jaw geometry helps achieve effective flow interruption with reduced operating effort. A lock-in/swing-out bottom bar simplifies placement around installed pipe, and integrated lock-down bolts maintain compression if hydraulic pressure is removed.

Key Features

12" to 16" HDPE and MDPE Pipe Capacity

Designed for large-diameter polyethylene pipelines ranging from 12 inches to 16 inches, including both HDPE and MDPE systems.

Up to 261 Tons of Squeezing Force

Generates up to 261 tons of force to provide effective flow control for demanding large-diameter PE pipe applications.

10,000 PSI Hydraulic System

The high-pressure hydraulic system uses quick-connect fittings to support efficient setup and dependable field operation.

CNC-Machined, Weld-Free Construction

The C1600 is manufactured with CNC-machined components and no welded construction, providing a strong, durable structure for demanding field environments.

Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Squeeze Bars

High-strength aluminum squeeze bars deliver durability while helping minimize weight where possible on this large-capacity squeeze-off tool.

Chrome-Plated Steel Side Shafts

Durable steel shafts feature chrome plating to help resist corrosion and wear during repeated field use.

Lock-In/Swing-Out Bottom Bar

The lower bar swings away for easier pipe access and locks into position for operation, simplifying setup around large pipe in confined workspaces.

Integrated Lock-Down Bolts

Mechanical lock-down bolts maintain the squeeze position if hydraulic pressure is removed or hydraulic connections are disconnected.

10-Foot Heavy-Duty Grounding Spike

A heavy-duty 10-foot grounding spike is supplied with the tool to support safe squeeze-off procedures.

Optional Custom Stop Blocks

Custom stop blocks are available to accommodate specialized pipe configurations and application requirements.

Benefits

Deliver Reliable Large-Diameter Flow Isolation

With up to 261 tons of squeezing force and optimized jaw geometry, the C1600 provides dependable temporary flow interruption on large HDPE and MDPE pipeline systems.

Improve Field Efficiency

The swing-out bottom bar reduces installation time and simplifies positioning around large-diameter pipe, helping crews move efficiently through squeeze-off operations.

Maintain Compression Without Hydraulic Pressure

Lock-down bolts keep the pipe compressed if hydraulic lines are disconnected, helping maintain flow isolation throughout maintenance or repair work.

Simplify Work in Confined Areas

The swing-out lower bar provides easier pipe access in trenches and restricted utility workspaces where positioning large equipment can be challenging.

Reduce Operating Effort

The high-pressure hydraulic system and specialized jaw geometry are designed to deliver substantial squeezing force while reducing the effort required to achieve effective pipe compression.

Withstand Demanding Field Conditions

CNC-machined construction, aluminum squeeze bars, and chrome-plated steel shafts provide durability for repeated use in challenging utility and pipeline environments.

Adapt to Specialized Applications

Optional custom stop blocks allow the C1600 to be configured for specific operating requirements and polyethylene pipe applications.
