Can you freeze mdpe pipe?

[MOSSEP]

cant you bend it over which effectively squeezes it off. cut a stop valve in after the kink, unfold the pipe and voila you can work at your leisure with an isolated supply.

Its watermain in factory, they have got to take up the concrete slab so i can move it back and then re concrete over it, dont fancy burying a stopcock under the ground that cant be accessed.

i think ill just get one of those compression clamp things and bill them for it

I wouldn't ever want to freeze it no friction holding plug. Defo squeeze off. 32mm. Bend it over and tie it with para chord.

Does squeezing not damage it? Can it not split?

Nope rollers mean it's fine
