the thermal conductivity between the freeze head
and the pipe and decreases the time required to
freeze a plug. If no freeze gel is available, use the
spray bottle to spray water generously before and
during the pipe freezing process.

9. Attach the freeze heads to the pipe.
• Single freeze plug applications – In single freeze
plug applications, both freeze heads should be
applied opposite each other to form the plug. This
will decrease the time required to freeze the plug.
Use the Quick Grip clamp (Figure 4) or Velcro
Strap (Figure 5) to secure the freeze heads to the
pipe. If using the Quick Grip clamp do not over
tighten the clamp and deform the pipe.

Forming a single freeze plug with freeze heads
positioned opposite to each other and using freeze
gel and quick grip clamp is the preferred method
for use on more difficult applications (higher tem-
peratures, larger pipe sizes, etc.). If two freeze
plugs are required in a difficult application, it may
be necessary to use two pipe freezing units, one
for each plug.
• Two freeze plug applications – When two separate
freeze plugs are required to isolate a section of the
system, one freeze head is attached at each point
(Figure 6) . Tightly secure the freeze heads to the
pipe with either Quick Grip clamp or Velcro straps.
If using the Quick Grip clamp do not over tighten
the clamp and deform the pipe.

• If the standard freeze head cannot be used, adap -
ters are available. Freeze gel (if being used) is
applied to the back of the adapter and to the sur-
face that contacts the tube. Tightly secure the
freeze heads to the tube with either the Quick
Grip clamp or the Velcro straps. If using the Quick
Grip clamp do not over tighten the clamp and
deform the tube. See Figure 7.
