Footage C36S Hydraulic Steel Squeeze-Off Tool

When steel pipelines require temporary isolation for repairs, maintenance, or emergency response, the Footage C36S provides utility crews with a dependable solution for controlling flow safely and effectively. Designed for use on 3-inch to 6-inch steel pipe, the tool applies controlled hydraulic force to temporarily isolate a section of pipeline while work is performed.

The C36S utilizes dual-acting hydraulic cylinders for smooth and controlled operation, while integrated lock-down bolts maintain the squeeze position after hydraulic pressure is removed. Safety blocks and a non-shearing jaw profile help protect pipe integrity during squeeze-off procedures. The tool can be powered by either a manual hydraulic hand pump or an air-over-hydraulic system, providing flexibility for a wide range of field conditions.
