****IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHEN USING PIPE FREEZE KIT***
- Always wear Safety Glasses and Gloves
- Do Not Overtighten Pipe Clamps
- Do not hit frozen freeze heads to remove from pipe - allow to thaw
- Install Freeze heads minimum 12" apart, keep away from fittings
Kit includes 10 sets of freeze heads for 1/8" to 2" lines (10mm to 60mm), two high pressure spiral hoses with injectors, T-distributor, locking nut, hex head screwdriver, and carrying case.
With a Cold-Shot, you don’t have to drain water lines, sprinkler systems, or hot water systems before cutting pipe or tubing. It keeps a fully pressurized system operating while you make repairs.
The Cold-Shot freezes liquids in steel, copper, cast iron, aluminum and plastic pipes ranging from 1/8" through 2" (10 to 60mm) using carbon dioxide (CO2). Dip tube-type CO2 cylinders are available from any welding supply house.
The Cold-Shot works faster than “refrigerator-type” units, is more compact and less expensive. It’s faster and uses less CO2 than “bag-type” pipe freezers, because the freeze head makes a better seal around the pipe. In five minutes you’re ready to go to work on 1/2" copper tubing, and just three minutes for cast iron pipe.
Cold-Shot Units - Freezing times and CO2 requirements
The freezing times and CO2 requirements in the spec sheet are general guidelines based on a water temperature 68 F° (20C°). These figures will vary for other temperatures. Longer freezing times are required for plastic pipe.
