How To FREEZE a LEAKING PIPE To Repair it! (Kibosh FastFreeze) | GOT2LEARN

[@boppins]

I had to repair a vertical pipe and after deburring I was worried about the copper pieces in the pipe. So I came up with a way to deal with it that I don't think I've seen in your videos. I bunched up a bit of paper towels and put it in the pipe, deburred the pipe, then pulled it out with a pair of needle nose pliers. Worked great.

[@Got2Learn]

Yes, just be VERY careful that the paper towel doesn't get lost in the pipe or it'll block the pipes, I just hold the tip of the shaving while I deburr it, always works, cheers!!!!

You always learn something new each day stay humble learn teach and respect good stuff man honestly as a plumber 50 - 100 dollars that's a good deal especially when you are soldering and water won't stop coming down and washing away the Flux man what a headache

[@10813mike]

It’s bin awhile sense I’ve watched and committed on one of your videos because I’ve bin working also non stop. But I can’t help to appreciate your presentation and your accuracy with all your videos! You know what you are doing.

[@Got2Learn]

Thank you so much Mike! 🙏🙏🙏

[@10813mike]

Absolutely! I appreciate watching how much you know and how well you present it! I’ve bin around a long time and have seen it all but I will admit I’ve learned a few more things with your videos. Is there a link when ordering this tool that will give you credit?

[@Got2Learn]

Actually, I get a small commission with amazon links!

[@Jazzhog]

Depending on the pipe, water temperature, condition, etc. Perhaps it might be better to just shut the main down. If it's a heating pipe, shut it down at boiler, then do the repair. just my 2. Cool illustration, though...

[@stiffysap5841]

Your showing for DIY .. Got it !

[@mc-sp8zr]

Boy, the Mohels are going to go crazy for this!

[@rustyshakleford5230]

I use them at least 2 or 3 times a month. Pin holes are a nightmare in 60-100 year old buildings and being able to actually "fix" the leak is huge for property owners. I can stop the leak for as long as I need to until I can fix the supply line.

[@T.E.P.]

You are sooo great with videos ... can't say it enough. I'd watch any of your vids even if you revisited and remade some of your earlier content. You do this stuff in a very great way that's unique to you. Cheers!

[@Got2Learn]

Thank you so much man, you the best!!!!!!

[@chrisfox6843]

These are great kits. We use the same technique at work but with just larger jackets and use liquid nitrogen as the way to freeze. Most of the places we use these are in places that can't have a shutdown or the systems are too large or complicated to drain down then later refill, hospitals, hotels, high rise buildings. Biggest line we can freeze is 32 inches, most of them are 1-8 inch lines though.

[@Mr.Alex_IzCRAZY]

In the example that you did, it seems that the water is closed because looks like it has not pressure. I’ve made those mistakes of inserting screws or finish nails and the water pressure is not comparable with the video. but the tool looks useful . I’ve learn a lot from your videos thanks !

[@RandomSpaceMonkeys]

BaaaRo! I didn't know about this. Thank you for educating me. I wouldn't advise this route unless absolutely needed as it has a lot of disposable parts. But when needed this is genius. You're doing good work. I work and this is helpful.

Hi mate, I have a Virax Frezzing pipe machine, it cost only 1000-1200€ in France. For 100€ you can rent one for a day. I’de prefer the machine to the kiboch because in France we use 14 and 16mm pipe not the 15mm. And in a heating loop or a heating system it don’t work properly.. if you have a water heating system with lots of rust the water freezing machine don’t work because the freezing cork can moove in the pipe

[@717273mopar]

The Kibosh is also limited to the size of the pipe, I have used the Ridgid machine to install isolation valves on 2 inch pipe, was well worth the price if you have a lot of work, which I did.

[@miketee2444]

Kenny pipe sold this rig 15yrs ago. That PVC freezing is definitely questionable. If you can't stop water from dripping then you should just sell them a new valve. We used a pro press on any copper over 1 and half just to keep from draining all pipes above you in high rises. Pro press a valve on with a bucket under it and you are ready to go

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

That's fine if you're a plumber. For your average homeowner, the idea of spending thousands of dollars on pro press clamps can't be justified.

[@aamirtariq2207]

great video! something to consider having as an emergency backup. What i've always been looking for, is a way to make crimped SS braided hoses, like for sink/washer/sprayer/whatever connections. many times i'm installing a custom system, and would love to be able to make my own custom Stainless Steel braided hoses, but haven't found any info anywhere.

[@ronblack7870]

well first you need to get the hose . i know where to get teflon braided hose but not cheap stuff like for toilets. then order copper or stainless ferrules at mcmaster carr and a crimper which you can get online for air hoses.

[@tonyarnoldphotography9757]

Many thanks

[@Got2Learn]

You are welcome!!

[@zacharysamenfeld2487]

Even better than a spray bottle is a drill pump you can get for like 6$ at harbor freight and some cheap vinyl tube to quickly and completely drain the pipe, without water touching one end of the plug it will likely stay frozen in place longer

[@pedrodog7855]

So your actually freezing the pipe so you can solder a repair coupli g or a fitting if there is water in the line ?

[@Got2Learn]

Exactly!

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

To me, I would use it more for those situations where, even after draining the line, there's that drip, drip, drip that you can't stop. Most times, for that I'll just shove bread into the line. However, I had one case where after I turned the water back on, the bread didn't dissolve, but instead shot into a few sink aerators and even a washing machine hose, causing me to have to clean them all out. I've always wanted one of those freeze systems, but they're too expensive for a homeowner to justify. This KiBosh system looks interesting. I'll probably buy it.

[@pedrodog7855]

@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 yes that's exactly what happens when you do bread ! Here in so. Cal. We shut down meter at the Street then break the union nut to let water go back in the meter hole. but in Canada I'm sure the meters are different

[@scottfranco1962]

Cute. So you have to do this fast. Whats a quick way to know which is the supply side of the line?

[@scottfranco1962]

Just a small thing: please don't show soldering without putting a fireproof protector behind the pipe. Thats asking for damage or a fire.

I normally use one for I had a lot of space here.

I'm already plumbing the 3 valve bypass, but I want a way to just quickly purge the air in the a basement without it getting through to all the upstairs fixtures. Thoughts?

Yes, this totally works on 3/4" pipe, you just need more gas to keep a plug!

Got 1(5/8)" copper pipe in my house. Stores don't carry this size. 1(1/2)" copper pipe is. ID of 1(5/8)" pipe Is 1(1/2)". Should I be able to fit the 1(1/2)" inside the 1(5/8)" for soldering?

[@rustyshakleford5230]

I wouldn't use this product. Just like I wouldn't use cold shot. If im in a tiny bathroom in an apartment building I wouldnt want to die from lack of oxygen to fix a pipe. The cllamp they make works great. If you can't get the water off call the city/town ot kill the power to the well.

Or you could just locate the main shut off valve before you start your work and shut it off in the event an accident happens.
