Rothenberger Electric Pipe Freezer

[cr0ft]

I don't work for them I promise. I finally bought one of these today, 3 years after I started my business. What a fantastic tool. Saved around 3 hours of time today moving some radiator pipes. Froze the pipe in about 3 minutes and I was even able to solder within 30cm of it too. 2 hours tops to move a radiator now and no faffing about with draining and re-filling central heating systems again.

Buy one!!

How much are they?

how much did you add on to the bill for freezing?

Heyup. Just caught up on this thread again. £468+VAT so £468 to me. I don't add anything onto the bill, but I charge the same amount it would cost me if I didn't have the freezer basically. Could charge less of course and have a competitive advantage. I'm using it again tomorrow to remove an old radiator and pipework without draining the system. Also saves inhibitor each time too!

One of the best bit's of plumbing kit available.

Have had mine about 3 years and would hate to be without it, saves and incredible amount of time and has paid for itself 10 fold.

I bought one for £400 plus vat from City Plumbing after a bit of hagling. Need about 2 inch on rad tail for clamps to fit and free of paint. Otherwise it's going to be messy !! Excellent piece of kit though
