Footage C1200 Hydraulic PE Pipe Squeeze Tool

The Footage C1200 Hydraulic Squeeze-Off Tool is engineered for contractors, utility operators, and pipe installation professionals who require reliable flow control on large-diameter polyethylene pipe. Featuring a robust CNC-machined construction with no welded components, the tool delivers exceptional durability in demanding field conditions.

Designed to generate up to 150 tons of squeezing force, the C1200 utilizes an advanced hydraulic system to effectively control flow while minimizing the force required to compress the pipe. Its unique lock-in/swing-out bottom bar design allows operators to position the tool quickly, even in restricted work areas, while mechanical lockdown bolts help maintain the squeeze if hydraulic pressure is disconnected.

The tool is supplied with a heavy-duty grounding spike for enhanced operational safety and can be configured with custom gauge plates to support specific application requirements.
