The Mustang DBML-80 Mid-Duty Hydraulic Squeeze Tool is similar to the DBGA-80 Mechanical Tool, with the exception that it is hydraulically operated. A Mustang manufactured, double-acting, large-bore hydraulic cylinder mounts to the tubular frame, providing 41,000 lbs of centralized force to PE pipe up to 8” IPS. A pair of SC-80 Saddle Clamps mechanically lock the upper and lower jaws and assist in completing the squeeze-off procedure. The cylinder is hydraulically locked with a Mustang pilot-operated locking valve for complete safety. Use of the DBML-80 on PE pipe that has a rough or rippled interior finish may result in less than bubble-tight squeeze-off.

The DBH-68-E Hydraulic Heavy-Duty Squeeze Tool utilizes two large-bore hydraulic cylinders, which provide a massive 82,000lbs of force adjacent to the folds of the flattened pipe. The Model 25 2-Stage Pump provides the correct volume and pressure for safe, reliable compressive force in a controlled manner. Both cylinders are hydraulically locked with a Mustang pilot-operated locking valve incorporated in the manifold block. A pair of SC-80 Saddle Clamps mechanically lock the upper and lower jaws and assist in completing the squeeze-off procedure.

An optional squeeze release control valve is also available that permits slow, controlled release of the upper jaw
