Pipe freezing

[SimonG]

I wouldn't like to be using co2 in an enclosed space either.

My votes for the electric freezemaster as well - bought mine second hand a few years ago, have had to re-gas it twice.
Still impressed with it.

no problems with mine, had it 3 years and 2nd hand, frozen central heating pipes in a hotel, 35mm no issues, best of all just leave it on and youj know its going to stay frozen till you turn it off. No bottles flying all over the van either and CO2 in an enclosed space just isnt good for you.

LOL We freeze pipes with it mate, not inhaling it.
I guess it's down to what you're used to using.

 

[Dickie]

No they don't, the ones from 39 years ago might have.

time to flip to the front and modernise then. Not sure who's cage your rattling re mm courses

 

[Dickie]

Modernise aye right!! Nothing modern about chancers trying to do a tradesman's job fella. But let's just stick to the freeze machines, we may get these washer changers confused.

Why are people chancers?, you think other plumbers are opportunists because they don't agree with using CO2 for health reasons or otherwise?

I don't use my asbestos heat mat and wear trousers with built in knee pads, i suppose you think i am "soft behind the ears fella" because i am taking such precautionary steps, heard this nonsensical mantra before.

 

[Dickie]

Can we please not get H&S mixed up with poorly trained course cowboys or pipe freezing equipment. We've now got three subjects on this thread!! I just raised the point about poorly trained chancers when some washer changer had a pop at me regarding my experience. In my view Leccy freezing machines are rubbish, but each to their own.
