Safety Features of Mustang Tools

Squeeze tools are used in an environment that requires the utmost in operational safety. Mustang Manufacturing Inc. has not compromised this requirement for cost reasons or as a means of keeping a competitive edge.

Some examples are:

• Mustang "M" and "ML" series hydraulic squeeze tools use a pilot operated cylinder locking valve. This specially designed valve assures the permanent locking of the hydraulic cylinder in the compressive squeeze-off mode. It AUTOMATICALLY locks the cylinder and does not require the operator to remember to close a conventional valve. Upon completion of the squeeze-off, the double acting cylinder is retracted after unlocking the valve hydraulically.

• Hydraulic tools are powered by Mustang designed and manufactured hydraulic hand pumps and non-conductive high pressure hose assemblies. Hi-Flo Quick Disconnect couplings permit positive connection using a threaded sleeve.

• Static electric discharge can be monitored using the SDA-30 alarm in conjuction with a Mustang grounding rod. If internal static charge builds and discharges through the pipe wall, the grounding rod-alarm combination will give an alarm and alert the operator to possible pin-hole damage through the pipe wall.
