Arctic Hayes is encouraging professional heating and plumbing engineers to consider its range of Pipe Freeze kits designed to enable installers to repair pipework without draining down the whole system. The company says its solution will save time, money and hassle on-site.
Arctic Hayes’ says its Pipe Freeze kits can reduce job time by an average of 85 per cent, based on a two-hour drain down and refill. Based on a standard 15mm copper pipe, Arctic Hayes Professional Pipe Freeze kit can also freeze pipes in one minute.
The Freeze Spray forms a temporary ice plug in the pipe so that work can be carried out with a minimum of disruption. There is no need to locate a stop-cock or service valves.
There are three different types of kit in the range; ‘Aero’, ‘Professional’ and ‘Electric’, each kit caters for a range of pipe sizes and a number of applications.
Pipe Freezer ‘Aero’ is a disposable kit, containing enough refrigerant to perform one or two freezes on pipework up to 28mm and can be used for jobs such as changing a radiator valve, replacing a stop-cock or other service valves.
With specific kits for domestic, commercial and industrial pipework, the ‘Professional’ range comes with extra features such as re-useable components and dual freeze options and is designed for plumbers and engineers who carry out regular pipework repairs and maintenance such as replacing stopcocks, radiator valves, heating pumps, zone valves and installing magnetic filters.
Designed for professionals engaging in a large-scale contract and commercial plumbing jobs, the ‘Electric’ range of Pipe Freeze Kits delivers mains-powered pipe freezing and an indefinite freeze time when used with a continuous power supply. Electric Pipe Freeze Kits range from the ‘Mini’ to ‘Commercial’ and ‘Industrial’ versions, each supplied with appropriately sized head clamps and reducers, freeze cream, gloves and instructions.
The company has a ‘Find Your Freeze’ selector tool on its website to make finding the right Pipe Freeze product straightforward.
