Pipe freezing kit

[domcon]

Going to invest in a co2 pipe freezing kit, Rothenberger or arctic/polar. Which one is best?

I have the Rothenberger kit with the clamps, really like it when I have to use it. The only issue I had to start with was wrt to the foam that you have to cut to put inside the clamp and getting it the right size, found it affects how quick the ice plug forms. Only really use it on systems that I know or have been advised are a pig to drain and refill.

I use the arctic polar 1, i find it brilliant. Has various different sized bags for different sized pipes so they fit perfect, & they have a weighing device that attaches to the can of ice so you know exactly how much ice to use, also there is a tee where you can split the freezing hoses & freeze both ends of a pipe at the same time.

The rothenburg is rubbish

Freezemaster 280 is good - clamp adaptors fit the neck of a bottle of stella very nicely - and has the added advantage of freezing 15,22 & 28mm water pipes.

I quite agree.
