Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• How long does it take for the REMS Frigo 2 to freeze a pipe?
  The unit is built for rapid cooling. A standard ¾" steel pipe freezes solid in just 9 minutes. Times can vary slightly depending on ambient room temperature and water temperature.
• Do I need to drain down any water before using the kit?
  No. The primary benefit of hiring an electric pipe freezer is that it lets you work on live networks without draining down the heating or water system.
• Does the water inside the system need to be completely still?
  Yes. The heating or hot water circulation pumps must be turned off. The water inside the pipe network must be completely static for a secure ice plug to form.
• What sizes of pipes can this rental kit handle?
  Out of the box, the standard kit handles pipe diameters from ¼" to 1¼" (15mm to 42mm). If you need to freeze larger commercial lines up to 2" (60mm), please request our optional upgrade extension blocks.
• Can it freeze plastic or copper pipes as well as steel?
  Yes. The REMS Frigo 2 F-Zero works efficiently on steel, copper, plastic, composite, and lead pipework.
• Do I need to buy gas canisters or refrigerant refills?
  No. Unlike gas aerosol kits, this is a fully closed-loop electric system running on R-290 refrigerant. You only need to plug it into a power supply.
