Covering all domestic pipe sizes with alloy adaptors for 8-10-12-15-22mm with the master freeze clamp fitting directly onto 28mm pipe. Copper, plastic composite, steel and stainless steel (1/4"-11/4") can also be frozen using the ROFROST 28 but freezing times will vary when freezing materials other than copper.The master freeze clamps have been engineered to sit flush with the wall and fit behind standard pipe clipped pipes making the machine Ideal for both maintenance and emergency repair work. Both the clamps are fitted with built in temperature displays which can be used as an indicator to the freeze status.Pipe freezing is not magic! It is a simple and efficient way of sealing a water pipe or system while simple repairs or maintenance are carried out. All freezing systems, from the basic jacket or clamp type to the professional electric system work on the same principle. The temperature surrounding the water carrying pipe is reduced, either by a liquid or gas refrigerant encasing the pipe. The resulting drop in temperature causes the water in the pipe to freeze, forming a solid "ice plug" blocking the pipe and preventing the water from flowing, allowing work to be carried out on the pipe.
