Review: works best if you cool down the pipe with iceblocks first - I was very ambivalent about this given the reviews and I was fully prepared to encounter a non-stop fountain of water coming out when I cut the copper pipe, but the freezing worked! I had to install service valves on central heating pipes; some key things I believe helped: 1) I made sure the heating (and pump obviously) was off for a day or so before attempting this, so that the water was room temperature, 2) I bled the system so there was no pressure in the pipes (otherwise iceplug may be pushed out), 3) I first cooled down the pipe section with icecubes around the pipe to bring the temperature down as much as I could before applying the jacket and cooling liquid; I got the temperature of the pipe down to about 6 C (on a warm summer day!) before starting with the cooling liquid. I used a food thermometer to check: the temperature of the pipe inside the jacket dropped to -18 C; I let that sit for about 5-10 minutes and when I cut the pipe next to the jacket there was a perfect iceplug formed inside and I was able to mount the service valve with ease, no water coming out whatsoever.
Review: Does what it says on the Tin! - I heeded to install a new radiator in the downstairs toilet and didn't want the hassle of draining down the whole system, especially given the fact its freezing cold. I saw this product and read the reviews and thought I'll give it a go. The instructions said that it would freeze one pipe so as it was plastic 10mm heating pipe and it was possible to get both inside the jacket. I gave it a go. It took 3 minutes for the ice plug to form and I was able to trim the pipes insert new collets and connect via a 10mm - 15mm connector to copper and the new radiator. The whole process took 15 minutes including the freeze time and the plug defrosted after 23 minutes. All done, no water anywhere and now subsequent leaks. So for the DIY enthusiast this is a great product good value and easy to use, it does what it says on the tin and definitely something I'll have in my useful things cupboard for the future. Impressed is an understatement

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to freeze a swimming pool pipe which is 48mm. Wouold this kit be sufficient?**
A: I don't think so. The pipe wrap wouldn't cover the pipe and it's a big diameter to freeze

**Q: Will this product work on plastic pipes ?**
A: Take some advice from someone who brought it and followed the instructions to the letter.... avoid at all costs. Don’t cut corners it will cost you more in the long run. It didn’t even hold for 10 minutes!

**Q: Can you cut the jacket to fit a tight space**
A: well it can definitely be cut - it's just foam with a plastic outer but the smaller it gets the less effective I imagine it would become. Also the ends once cable tied account for at least a third of the overall length, so you would just be reducing the reservoir space for the coolant. I guess you could just give it a go if that's your only option.

**Q: Will it freeze 22mm copper pipe?**
A: Seriously wouldn’t trust the stuff. I used it and followed all instructions and it failed. Luckily it was a pipe that was over the bath so no damage. Plumber I spoke to said never use it. You will save time and money getting it sorted properly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect easy to use
*by T***Y on 19 January 2024*

Have used this product before, hence why happy to use again. Very easy to use and freeze stayed effective long enough that I did not have to rush the repair. If I had to offer one bit of advice, have spare cable ties, to secure the sleeve. This item came with only 1 cable tie, which is fine if you are freezing a vertical pipe but not so clever if you are working on horizontal pipework, which requires a tie at both ends of the sleeve.
