Footage C170 Steel Pipe Squeeze Tool

Designed for contractors, gas utility crews, and pipeline maintenance professionals, the Footage C170 Steel Pipe Squeeze Tool provides a reliable method for temporarily restricting flow in small-diameter steel piping systems. The tool accommodates 1/2-inch through 2-inch steel pipe and produces approximately 39 tons of squeezing force for effective temporary line isolation.

A single-stage hydraulic hand pump provides operating pressure up to 10,000 PSI, while the bottom swing-out bar simplifies placement around installed pipe. Integrated safety stops help control compression and reduce the risk of accidentally cutting or damaging the pipe. At approximately 47 pounds, the C170 offers powerful hydraulic squeeze-off capability in a compact package suited for field deployment and tight excavations.

Key Features

1/2" to 2" Steel Pipe Capacity

Designed for squeeze-off applications involving steel pipe ranging from 1/2 inch through 2 inches in diameter.

Approximately 39 Tons of Squeezing Force

Provides the force required to temporarily restrict flow and isolate small-diameter steel piping during maintenance, repair, and emergency operations.

10,000 PSI Hydraulic System

The included single-stage hydraulic hand pump provides operating pressure up to 10,000 PSI for powerful, consistent squeeze-off performance.

Bottom Swing-Out Bar

The lower bar swings out to simplify tool placement around the pipe, helping crews reduce setup time in the field.

Integrated Safety Stops

Built-in stops help limit excessive pipe compression and reduce the risk of accidentally cutting or damaging the pipe during squeeze-off operations.

Compact Construction

A compact tool profile makes the C170 easier to position and operate in excavations and other restricted-access working areas.

47-Pound Design

At approximately 47 pounds, the C170 provides substantial hydraulic squeezing force while remaining manageable for transportation between jobsites.

Field-Ready Utility Design

Built for utility maintenance, temporary line isolation, and emergency shutoff applications where dependable steel pipe flow control is required.

Benefits

Achieve Reliable Temporary Flow Control

Approximately 39 tons of squeezing force helps crews effectively restrict flow in small-diameter steel pipelines during maintenance, repairs, and temporary service interruptions.

Reduce Setup Time

The swing-out bottom bar allows technicians to position the tool around installed pipe more efficiently, helping streamline field operations.

Help Protect Steel Pipe

Integrated safety stops help prevent excessive compression and reduce the potential for pipe cutting or other damage during operation.

Work More Effectively in Tight Areas

The compact footprint makes the C170 practical for excavations and other field environments where space for larger squeeze-off equipment may be limited.

Simplify Field Transportation

At approximately 47 pounds, the C170 combines hydraulic power with a portable design that is easier for crews to transport and deploy on active jobsites.

Support Maintenance and Emergency Operations

The C170 provides utility contractors, gas distribution crews, municipal maintenance teams, and pipeline service professionals with a purpose-built option for temporary steel pipe isolation.
