Pipe freezing and thawing equipment allows contractors and maintenance crews to repair water lines, sprinkler systems, and other piping without extensive draining, demolition, or excavation.

Pipe Freezing Equipment

Cold-Shot pipe freezing systems create a temporary ice plug inside the pipe so repairs can be completed while the rest of the system remains in service. Confirm the pipe material, outside diameter, water temperature, and available access before selecting a freezing kit.

Pipe Thawing Equipment

Hot-Shot pipe thawers use controlled electrical current to thaw frozen metal pipes without open flames, wall removal, or excavation. Confirm the pipe material, pipe length, electrical supply, and connection points before choosing a thawing machine.
