Footage C165 Emergency Riser Squeeze Tool

Built specifically for emergency gas line response, the Footage C165 Emergency Riser Squeeze Tool gives utility crews a controlled method for squeezing off damaged steel anodeless risers and distribution lines up to 2 inches in diameter.

The tool’s telescoping handle extends from 7 feet to 14 feet, allowing personnel to operate farther from the damaged area. A three-position head can be configured straight or pivoted to 45° and 90°, providing flexibility when approaching damaged risers from different angles or working in restricted-access locations.

The C165 also incorporates a compact, single-stage hydraulic hand pump capable of delivering up to 10,000 PSI. Standard guide brackets assist with positioning, making the tool well suited for remote emergency response and keyhole applications.

Key Features

3/4" to 2" Squeeze Capacity

Designed for squeeze-off applications involving steel anodeless gas risers and distribution lines ranging from 3/4 inch to 2 inches.

Remote Emergency Operation

Purpose-built for emergency squeeze-off situations where crews need to control gas flow while maintaining additional distance from the damaged line.

7' to 14' Telescoping Handle

The adjustable handle extends from 7 feet to 14 feet, giving operators additional reach during emergency response operations.

Three-Position Adjustable Head

The squeeze head can operate straight or pivot to 45° and 90° positions, providing multiple approach angles for challenging riser locations.

10,000 PSI Hydraulic Hand Pump

A compact single-stage hydraulic hand pump provides the pressure needed for controlled steel pipe squeeze-off operations.

Standard Guide Brackets

Guide brackets are included to assist with tool positioning and support controlled application of the squeeze head.

Compact Squeeze Head

A narrow tool profile improves access around gas service equipment and in restricted working environments.

Field-Ready Construction

At approximately 45 lbs., the C165 combines hydraulic operating capability with a design suited for deployment by utility emergency response crews.

Benefits

Increase Distance from a Damaged Gas Line

The telescoping handle allows technicians to work farther from the break point, reducing the need to position personnel directly beside a damaged riser during squeeze-off.

Improve Emergency Response Capabilities

A tool designed specifically for steel riser breaks gives utility crews a dedicated flow-control solution for emergency gas line incidents.

Reach Challenging Riser Locations

The adjustable head provides straight, 45°, and 90° configurations, allowing crews to adapt the tool to different access angles and site conditions.

Support Remote and Keyhole Operations

Extended reach, adjustable head positioning, and guide brackets make the C165 well suited for applications where direct access to the damaged line is limited.

Combine Hydraulic Force with Controlled Operation

The single-stage hydraulic hand pump delivers the pressure required for steel squeeze-off while allowing crews to control the operation remotely.

Strengthen Utility Emergency Preparedness

Having a purpose-built emergency riser squeeze tool available gives gas distribution crews another option for quickly controlling flow when steel risers or small-diameter distribution lines are damaged.
