Troubleshooting

Pipe not freezing adequately

Ensure the VPOL brass connector and freeze kit are properly attached. Check that the spray is being applied evenly to the pipe section. For larger diameter pipes or in very warm environments, multiple applications or longer spray times may be needed. Verify the can is not nearly empty.

Spray not dispensing

Check that the VPOL brass connector is securely fitted to the can and the applicator head is correctly connected. Ensure the can is upright and try applying slight pressure to the nozzle mechanism.

Freeze is not holding for repair

Confirm the section of pipe frozen is sufficiently isolated. You may need to freeze a larger section or apply the spray more intensely. Ensure no water flow is present during the freezing process. Ambient temperature can also affect freeze duration.
