The RIDGID® SF-2500 SuperFreeze, Cat. No. 68962 is a professional 230V pipe-freezing machine designed to temporarily freeze water inside pipes, creating a solid ice plug so that valves, fittings, sections of piping, or other components can be repaired without shutting down the entire water system. It uses a self-contained refrigeration system and aluminum freeze heads connected by flexible hoses.
Key Features
• Fast pipe freezing: Can form an ice plug in approximately 6 minutes on a 1/2" copper tube under favorable conditions.
• No need to drain the system: The ice plug temporarily isolates the section of pipe being repaired.
• Maintains the ice plug: The refrigeration unit continues operating while repair work is performed.
• Wide capacity: Suitable for copper tubes from 1/2" to 2-1/2" and steel pipe from 1/2" to 2" for the 230V model.
• Self-contained refrigeration: Eliminates the need for CO₂ or nitrogen cylinders for pipe freezing.
• Flexible freeze-head hoses: Allow the refrigeration unit to remain positioned away from the pipe being serviced.
• Cool/freeze gel: RIDGID lists Cool Gel, Cat. No. 74946, as an accessory to improve heat transfer and freezing performance.
