PIPE FREEZER
This pipe freezer kit can be used to freeze all types of liquids, even at high pressure, inside
steel, copper, cast iron, lead, aluminum and plastic pipes in sizes ranging from 1/8” to 2” (10-60
mm). It uses commercially available carbon dioxide (CO2).
The pipe freezer kit is designed to give the user years of trouble-free, profitable service.
However, no tool is better than its operator. It´s therefore suggested the user read these
instructions through carefully before using this machine on the job. This will enable the user to
operate the pipe freezer kit more efficiently and more profitable. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause personal injury to operator or damage to equipment.
In short, these compact, simple operation and high eficiency machines have been widely
applied in installing and building industries for professional repair and maintenance operations.
BASIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1) Only use the pipe freezer kit for the purpose for which it was intended, with due attention
to the general safety and accident prevention
2) Keep the work area clean. Clutter can be dangerous
3) Avoid dangerous flammable liquids or gases
4) Provide adequate lighting at the workplace
5) Wear suitable work clothes, keep long hair clear, take offf jewelry and similar items
6) Use personal safety equipment (e.g. safety glasses, rubber gloves)
7) Clamp the workpiece securely, do not hold by hand
8) Check the unit occasionally for damage, and to see that it is operating correctly
9) Replace worn part as early as possible
10) Only use genuine spare parts and accessories, for personal safety reasons, to ensure
correct operation of the pipe freezer kit, and to preserve the vasis for the warrranty claim
11) All repair work must be performed only by an authorized repair facility
12) Any unauthorized modifications of the pipe freezer kit are prohibited for safety reasons
and will void the warranty
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1) Carbon dioxide must be drawn from the cylinder in a liquid state in order to produce dry
ice. For this reason, only cylinders equipped with a dip tube may be used
2) Do not connect a pressure reducer to the cylinder
3) Keep the cylinder in an upright position and secure it to prevent it from falling over
4) The carbon dioxide cylinder must not be emptied completely
5) Do not interfere with nozzles, freeze heads or valves, including cylinder valves
6) Work only in a well ventilated area. Carbon dioxide is non-toxic and non-flammable
but it is heavier than air and can therefore collect at ground level and displace the air if
ventilation is inadequate, giving rise to the danger of suffocation
7) Wear eye protection or goggles
8) Wear gloves
9) Do not work with an open flame within 2 ft. (50 cm) of the freezing point
10) Never hit a chilled freeze head with a hammer or other tool. A sharp blow will cause it to
fracture
11) Keep other people, particularly children, well away. Dry ice causes burns if it comes into
contact with the skin. Once work is complete, any remaining dry ice in the freeze heads
must be carefully disposed of or placed in a covered refuse container
12) Observe the safety instructions provided by the carbon dioxide supply company
