Footage C812S Steel Pipe Squeeze Tool

Designed for pipeline contractors, utility operators, and maintenance crews, the Footage C812S Steel Pipe Squeeze Tool provides a controlled method for temporarily shutting down flow in large-diameter steel piping systems. Its rugged construction is engineered to handle 8-inch through 12-inch steel pipe while supporting safe, efficient operation in demanding field environments.

Dual-acting hydraulic cylinders provide controlled opening and closing of the tool. Depending on jobsite requirements and available equipment, crews can operate the C812S using either an air-over-hydraulic single-speed pump or a manual hand pump. The bottom swing-out bar incorporates a positive safety latch for secure positioning during squeeze-off operations, while the hydraulic system is rated for operation up to 10,000 PSI maximum.

Key Features

8" to 12" Steel Pipe Capacity

Designed for large-diameter steel pipe ranging from 8 inches to 12 inches, supporting demanding utility and pipeline squeeze-off applications.

Dual-Acting Hydraulic Cylinders

Hydraulic cylinders provide controlled opening and closing action for efficient operation throughout the squeeze-off process.

Up to 10,000 PSI Hydraulic Operation

The C812S supports high-pressure hydraulic operation up to a maximum of 10,000 PSI for large-diameter steel pipeline applications.

Air-Over-Hydraulic Pump Compatibility

The tool can be operated with an air-over-hydraulic single-speed pump, providing a powered option for demanding field operations.

Manual Hand Pump Compatibility

Crews can also operate the C812S using a manual hand pump, providing greater flexibility when pneumatic power is unavailable or impractical.

Swing-Out Bottom Bar

A bottom swing-out bar simplifies positioning the tool around installed steel pipe during setup and removal.

Positive Safety Latch

The bottom bar incorporates a positive safety latch to help maintain secure positioning during squeeze-off operations.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Rugged construction is designed to withstand the demanding conditions encountered during pipeline maintenance, utility operations, and emergency response.

Compact Field Design

Despite its large pipe capacity, the C812S uses a compact design intended to support deployment by pipeline maintenance and repair crews.

Benefits

Isolate Large-Diameter Steel Pipe

The C812S gives crews a purpose-built hydraulic solution for temporarily stopping flow in steel pipelines ranging from 8 inches to 12 inches.

Improve Emergency Response

Temporary pipeline isolation allows crews to more quickly control affected sections during emergency repairs, helping reduce downtime and support faster response activities.

Adapt to Different Jobsite Conditions

Compatibility with both air-over-hydraulic and manual pump systems gives crews flexibility to select the operating method that fits the site and available equipment.

Maintain Controlled Hydraulic Operation

Dual-acting cylinders provide controlled tool movement, supporting efficient opening and closing throughout the squeeze-off process.

Support Secure Field Operation

The swing-out bottom bar and positive safety latch help maintain secure positioning when the tool is installed around the pipe.

Withstand Demanding Work Environments

Heavy-duty construction supports repeated use in utility, energy, pipeline, and industrial maintenance environments.

Reduce Pipeline Service Interruptions

Temporary steel pipe squeeze-off allows maintenance and repair activities to be performed while helping crews manage the impact of pipeline shutdowns.
