Footage C850 Hydraulic PE Pipe Squeeze Tool

The Footage C850 Hydraulic PE Pipe Squeeze Tool is engineered for temporary flow isolation in medium- and large-diameter polyethylene piping systems. Designed to accommodate 4″ to 8″ HDPE and MDPE pipe, the C850 gives utility professionals a controlled hydraulic solution for pipeline maintenance, repairs, and other squeeze-off applications.

An 8-sided positive-locking gauge system helps establish controlled squeeze settings, while an integrated centering plate promotes proper pipe alignment. The C850 operates with a 10,000 PSI hydraulic system featuring quick-connect fittings and upward-facing connections for easier access in trenches and pits. Aircraft-grade aluminum squeeze bars and chrome-plated steel side shafts provide strength and durability for demanding field environments.

Key Features

4" to 8" HDPE and MDPE Pipe Capacity

Designed for squeeze-off applications involving polyethylene pipe ranging from 4 inches to 8 inches in diameter.

8-Sided Positive-Locking Gauge Plates

Indexable gauge plates provide controlled squeeze settings to support consistent operation across multiple pipe sizes and SDR ratings.

Integrated Pipe Centering System

A centering plate helps properly position the pipe within the tool for accurate alignment throughout the squeeze-off process.

10,000 PSI Hydraulic System

A high-pressure hydraulic system with quick-connect fittings delivers the power required for dependable field squeeze-off operations.

Upward-Facing Hydraulic Connections

Hydraulic connections are positioned for convenient access when crews are operating the tool below grade in trenches, pits, and excavations.

Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Squeeze Bars

High-strength aluminum construction provides the durability required for larger PE pipe applications while helping minimize tool weight.

Chrome-Plated Steel Side Shafts

Durable steel side shafts feature chrome plating for increased corrosion resistance and long-term field performance.

Swing-Out Locking Bottom Bar

The lock-in and swing-out bottom bar simplifies pipe loading and removal, particularly when operating in confined areas.

Integrated Lock-Down Bolts

Lock-down bolts help maintain pipe compression if hydraulic pressure is removed or the hydraulic system is disconnected.

Folding Carrying Handles

Handles fold inward to decrease the overall width of the tool for easier movement, storage, and operation in tight working areas.

10-Foot Heavy-Duty Grounding Spike

A heavy-duty 10-foot grounding spike is included to support safer PE pipe squeeze-off procedures.

Custom Gauge Plate Options

Custom gauge plates are available to accommodate specialized pipe and application requirements.

Benefits

Improve Jobsite Safety

Positive-locking gauge plates, lock-down bolts, a centering system, and the included grounding spike help crews perform controlled squeeze-off procedures using field-focused safety features.

Increase Field Productivity

The swing-out bottom bar, quick-connect hydraulic system, and accessible hydraulic connections help simplify setup and operation, especially in excavations and restricted work areas.

Maintain Consistent Compression

Positive-locking gauge plates and the pipe-centering system help crews achieve repeatable squeeze-off results across supported pipe sizes and SDR ratings.

Work More Effectively in Confined Areas

Folding handles, upward-facing hydraulic connections, and the swing-out bottom bar improve accessibility when operating in trenches, pits, and other tight jobsite locations.

Maintain Isolation if Hydraulic Pressure Is Removed

Integrated lock-down bolts help hold the pipe in the compressed position even when the hydraulic system is disconnected.

Get Long-Term Field Durability

Aircraft-grade aluminum components and chrome-plated steel shafts provide the strength and corrosion resistance required for repeated use in utility and pipeline environments.

Simplify Transportation and Storage

Foldable carrying handles reduce the tool's footprint, making it more convenient for crews to move and store between jobs.
