Abstract: This paper reflects the concerns of the gas utility distribution companies (users) over the longterm effect of squeeze-off of polyethylene pipe. It addresses installation methods, effects of temperature, types of tools, squeeze-off specifications, and methods of minimizing danger of pipe damage after squeeze-off. The information reflects data solicited from many gas utilities in various parts of the country. Plastic pipe has a relatively short history in our industry when compared to that of metallic or other piping materials. Although there has been considerable theoretical age-life testing done, the long-range results are not yet totally predictable. This paper addresses methods of squeezeoff, identification of squeeze-off areas, and results of leakage in pipe after squeeze-off. The concern voiced most frequently by users is What will be the long-term effects of squeeze-off?
