GENERAL SAFETY RULES

For all Tools

READ and UNDERSTAND all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed

below may result in serious personal injury and/or damage to the tool.

The following ASTM standards provide guidance and requirements for squeeze-off

tools, operating procedures, and qualiﬁcation procedures.

• ASTM F1041, “Standard Guide for Squeeze-off of Polyoleﬁn Gas Pressure

Pipe and Tubing”

• ASTM F1563, “Standard Speciﬁcation for Tools to Squeeze-Off Polyethylene

(PE) Gas Pipe or Tubing”

• ASTM F1734, “Standard Practice for Qualiﬁcation of a Combination of Squeeze

Tool, Pipe, and Squeeze-Off Procedures to Avoid Long-Term Damage in Poly-

ethylene (PE) Gas Pipe”

* The SDR is the ratio of pipe diameter to wall thickness. SDR can be be expressed

as SDR = D/s where D = pipe outside diameter and s = pipe wall thickness.

TIMBERLINE TR270

INTRODUCTION

Timberline squeeze-off tools are designed to temporarily stop the pressurized ﬂow of

liquid or gas in polyethylene (PE) pipe.

Squeeze-off is a technique used to control the ﬂow of gas or liquid in polyethylene

pipe by compressing the pipe between parallel bars until the inside surfaces make

contact. The ﬂexibility and toughness of most polyethylene pipes allow the pipe to

recover from a properly made squeeze-off without a measurable loss in service life.

Squeeze-off is useful for making installation tie-ins and emergency repairs.

Timberline squeeze-off tools are made from high strength aluminum for superior

durability and will not bend or break under normal use. However, care must be taken

to ensure that the pipe is free of foreign material and the slap on jaw matches the

diameter and wall thickness / SDR of the pipe to be squeezed. *

Please read the following suggested procedure for squeezing off polyethylene plastic

pipe using Timberline Squeeze-off Tools.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Static Electricity Safety

Use a proper grounding rod at all times to insure personal safety.

PE pipe is a relatively low conductor of electricity. As a result PE

pipe does build up a static charge when it is in gas service due to

the gas ﬂow on the inside of the pipe. During squeeze-off a larger amount of static

charge builds up.

In addition to the potential for pipe damage due to static discharge, the build up

of a static charge represents an ignition source. Timberline Tool recommends

that you follow all of your company grounding techniques and that all personnel

involved in squeeze-off operations receive training on those grounding procedures

so that they understand the hazards involved.

Workplace S afet y

Prior to using any squeeze-off tool, consult ASTM Standards F1041-

02, F1563-01 and F1734-03.

Always follow applicable company and OSHA safety procedures.

Observe pipe manufacturers’ recommendations and precautions for squeeze-off of

polyethylene pipe, exercising particular caution when leaking gas is present.

Safety ﬁrst. Timberline squeeze-off tools must be used by qualiﬁed, trained per-

sonnel only and must never be left on the pipe unattended. Refer to pipe manufac-

turers’ recommendations for locating squeeze-off distances from ﬁttings and joints.

Personal Safety

Stay Alert, watch what you are doing, and do not use tools while

tired or under the inﬂuence of narcotics, alcohol, or medication.

Use proper clothing, eye protection, and safety equipment when

using squeeze-tools.

A moment of inattention while operating squeeze-off tools may result in personal injury.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.

4. Turn the Handle (A1) clockwise to squeeze-off

the pipe. Refer to Table 2 on Page 2 for the sug-

gested rate of closure per ASTM speciﬁcations.

(Fig 10)

Squeeze-off is not complete until the tool

hits its’ mechanical stop. (Fig 11)

5. During service operations remove the Handle

to prevent accidental release of the tool. Use a

padlock for lock-out/tag-out. (Fig 12)

6. When removing the tool from the pipe turn the Handle

counter clockwise at half the closing rate, per ASTM

speciﬁcations. (Fig 13)

3. Attach the Slap-On Jaw (B8) to Slap-On Jaw Post (B6).

(Fig 4)

4. Attach both cables to the Fixed Jaw (B7).

(Fig 5)

The tool may be operated with the Handle only.

(Fig 6)

5. If you need more length add Extension Handles. (Fig 7)

OPERATING PROCEDURE

Remember this is only a recommended

procedure for a safe and effective

squeeze-off. Always follow your speciﬁc

company safety rules when working

around natural gas.

1. Ground the tool with the Grounding Rod.

2. Open the TR270 just enough to slide over pipe.

(Fig 8)

• If the cables are tight

and the clamp is

dropped on the pipe

the cables will break.

• Make sure the pipe is

clear of any debris, rock, dirt, etc.

3. Put the TR270 onto the pipe until both cables

are resting on the pipe. The cables keep the

pipe centered in the jaws. It is best if the tool is

perpendicular. (Fig 9)

Specic Tool Safety

If you have used other Timberline products please be aware that the

operation of this tool may differ from others and that you may need

to follow different rules. Always consult the manual to insure you are

following the correct safety instructions to avoid personal injury.

Tool Usage Safety

Do not force the tool to perform a squeeze-off. The tool will operate safer and better if

the rate of squeeze in these instructions is followed.

Maintain the tool with care. A properly maintained tool will be less likely to cause

damage and is easier to control.

Check for misalignment, binding of parts, breakage of parts, and other conditions

that might affect the operation of the tool. Accidents may be caused by improperly

maintained tools.

Always use the Timberline TR270 with the grounding rod inserted in the ground

when working with natural gas, or any other ﬂammable substance.

Use only the accessories, slap-on jaws, or extension handles that correspond to your

product. Accessories speciﬁc for one tool may be hazardous if used on a different

tool.

Failure to use the TR270 in the manner speciﬁed in this manual may result in injury

and/or permanent damage to the tool.

This tool complies with ASTM F1563-01.

Always make sure to use the slap-on jaw that corresponds to the

pipe size and SDR or wall thickness of the pipe to be squeezed-off.

Tool Service Safety

Tool service must only be performed by qualiﬁed repair personnel.

Service or maintenance performed by unqualiﬁed personnel could

result in a risk of injury.

Familiarize yourself with all parts, names, and numbers. Refer to this

diagram for the assembly and operation procedures that follow.
