Introducing Squeeze-Off Marking Tape

October 5, 2026

Footage Tools is pleased to introduce Squeeze-Off Marking Tape, a simple and highly visible solution designed to identify completed squeeze-off locations on HDPE and MDPE pipe.

When a squeeze-off operation is completed, the location can become difficult to identify over time. A crew performing future maintenance or repair work may have no indication that a section of pipe has previously been squeezed.

Squeeze-Off Marking Tape provides a clear visual reference directly on the pipe, helping future crews recognize where a squeeze-off has occurred and select an appropriate location for future work. The tape easily affixes to HDPE and MDPE pipe and is designed for outdoor and underground applications, providing a durable marker that remains with the pipe long after the squeeze-off operation has been completed.

Perhaps most importantly, the information stays with the pipe. The crew applying the tape today may not be the crew working on that system years from now. By identifying previous squeeze-off locations directly on the pipe, future crews have a clear visual reference that can help support maintenance, repair, and operational activities.

In addition to providing a visible reference in the field, Squeeze-Off Marking Tape can complement utility records and GIS systems by helping ensure information about previous squeeze-off locations remains available to future crews working on the system.

Squeeze-Off Marking Tape is now available through Footage Tools and its distributor network.
