Repair Pipes without Draining Them
With a Cold-Shot, you don't have to drain water lines, sprinkler systems, or hot water systems before cutting pipe or tubing. This pipe-freezing tool keeps a fully pressurized system operating while you make repairs.
The Cold-Shot pipe-freezing tool freezes liquids in metal and plastic pipes ranging from 1/8" through 2" 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 work on 1/2" copper tubing and just three minutes for cast iron pipe.
- No need to drain the lines before cutting the pipe
- Keep fully-pressurized systems operating while you make repairs
- Quickly freezes steel, copper, cast iron, and aluminum pipes ranging from 1/8" to 2" in diameter
- Uses commercially available and environmentally safe carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Minus 110 degrees F ice pack is strong enough to withstand 7,000 PSI
- Quicker and less expensive than electrical freezing units
- More efficient and convenient than "bag" type CO2 units
