HOW TO THAW FROZEN METAL PIPESPassing low voltage, high current AC electricity through a frozen water pipe is a quick way of thawing it. With this method it is possible to thaw iron or copper pipes buried in the ground or concealed in building walls. This method requires that there be an area of unfrozen water under standard pressure on one side of the frozen area and an open faucet on the other (downstream) side.
With an Electric Pipe Thawer it is only necessary to heat the frozen pipe enough to melt a thin film of ice on the inside of the pipe. The warmer water under standard pressure in the pipe before the blockage will seep through the melted film and quickly melt the rest of the ice. Once sufficient ice is melted a flow will be resumed towards the open faucet downstream of the blockage. See our on-line Icebreaker 350 Owners Manual for step-by-step instructions.
