Squeeze off Re-Rounding Tools

A squeeze off re-rounding tool is a key item in a gas or water technician’s kit. It is made to fix the shape of a pipe after it has been compressed for flow control. When a squeeze-off tool is used on a polyethylene pipe for repairs, the pipe wall gets stressed. It often stays flat or in an oval shape even after the pressure is released. The squeeze off re-rounding tool helps reshape the pipe back to its original round form. This keeps the HDPE strong and allows for a perfect fit when installing fittings, like electrofusion couplings. Using this tool is an important safety step. It helps prevent long-term stress cracking. This ensures the pipeline can return to its full flow capacity and pressure rating.
