Mustang PS-62B Emergency Steel Pipe Squeeze Tool

The PS-62B Steel Pipe Tool is engineered for utility crews, gas contractors, and emergency response teams that need a reliable method for temporarily stopping flow in steel gas pipelines. Its self-contained hydraulic design provides substantial squeezing power without requiring external power sources.

Designed to handle coated 2-inch IPS Schedule 40 steel pipe, the tool can be used whether the protective jacket remains in place or has been removed. A rounded jaw profile helps reduce the risk of damaging brittle pipe materials, while its swivel-head configuration allows operation in confined work areas.

Safety-focused features such as an integrated pressure relief bypass system, insulated fiberglass handles, and optional grounding provisions help crews perform squeeze-off operations with greater confidence under demanding field conditions.

Key Features

• Delivers 18 tons of controlled hydraulic force for effective squeeze-off operations.
• Suitable for up to 2-inch IPS Schedule 40 steel pipe.
• Works on coated pipe with or without jacket removal.
• Compact, self-contained, hand-operated design requires no external power source.
• Rounded jaw geometry helps reduce the likelihood of pipe severing on brittle materials.
• Pressure Relief Bypass System helps prevent excessive pumping while maintaining squeezing pressure.
• 90-degree swivel head improves access in congested installations and tight trenches.
• Latched lower jaw aids positioning and pipe engagement.
• Steel-wire centering whiskers assist with proper pipe alignment.
• Non-conductive fiberglass insulated handles enhance operator safety.
• Grounding kit attachment provision available.

Benefits

• Faster Emergency Response
  Quickly restrict gas flow during maintenance, repairs, or emergency leak situations without complex equipment setup.
• Improved Worker Safety
  Integrated safety features help reduce operational risks and improve field handling under demanding conditions.
• Enhanced Maneuverability
  The compact footprint and swivel-head design simplify access in trenches, utility vaults, and restricted work areas.
• Reliable Hydraulic Performance
  Short pump strokes generate significant squeezing force, allowing crews to perform efficient pipe isolation operations.
• Reduced Risk of Pipe Damage
  The redesigned jaw profile is intended to minimize the chance of severing certain brittle or difficult-to-identify steel pipe materials.
