SUPERFREEZE PIPE FREEZING UNIT
SF - 2500
SKU: RID68962
The SuperFreeze Pipe Freezer is an easy-to-use pipe-freezing
unit that allows the contractor to keep water systems operating
while making repairs. The RIDGID® Model SF-2500 is a mini-
refrigeration unit that circulates self-contained refrigerant to its
aluminum freeze heads. This forms an ice plug in as little as 6
minutes. Once the pipe is plugged, repairs can be made while
the ice plug is maintained by the unit. Includes a bottle of
specially formulated freeze gel to speed freezing. Apply the gel
to freeze heads before placing on pipe.
