Abstract: A tool for inserting a barbed fitting of a spile assembly into a conduit includes a main body including a grip, a lever pivotally coupled to the main body and including a trigger, and a jaw assembly. The jaw assembly includes a first jaw extending along an actuation axis and a second jaw coupled to the trigger and moveably coupled to the first jaw. The first jaw is translatably coupled to the main body such that an angle between the actuation axis and the main body is substantially constant. The first jaw and the second jaw are configured to receive the conduit therebetween. The first jaw is configured to move in a first longitudinal direction relative to the main body in response to movement of the trigger toward the grip.
