Discuss pipe freezing machine?? in the Plumbing Tools area at PlumbersForums.net
thanks fellas - I went with the rothenberger rofrost - not used in anger yet but tests in workshop were great
had a very hairy moment with this last week - kitchen taps needed replacing and couldn't turn off the incoming mains so thought perfect I'll get the rofrost out - stuck clamp on pipe running up into cold tap - waited 6 mins turned tap on and nothing so no bother ...but when I started cutting in to the pipe some drops of water fell down on to the clamp and ruined the plug so all of a sudden I've gone from nothing to full bore - thankfully had an iso valve sitting ready so no harm done kept for the fact I was totally drenched...longest ten seconds of my life
thanks Shaun..we live and learnnot long enough should be around 15 mins open the tap then leave it 5 more mins just to be safe
Thanks for the prompt reply I suddenly thought that here I am trying to freeze a pipe then not far away heating it up.Your only making a plug the water will expand back to the system
yes you will be fine you need to be at least a foot away from the plug tho and keep the machine running
thanks Shaun..we live and learn
