TIMBERLINE TC2 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. -

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. - Page 5 Use only the accessories or extension handles that correspond to your product. Ac- cessories specific for one tool may be hazardous if used on a different tool. Failure to use the TC2 in the manner specified in this manual may result in injury and/or permanent damage to the tool.
