Q: What size pipes are protected by ICE-LOC®?
A: ICE-LOC® is available for 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch and 1 inch pipe sizes (clips for these sizes only). A Good Alternative for a larger Pipe: is to use 3 green cores for 11/2 inch, 4 green cores for 2 inch pipes (Go to "How-To page"  for instructions). Just put those cores side by side in the large pipe or pull the cores together.  tie core inner twine together, (there are  no clips for11/2 or 2 inch pipes). Remember to always cut ICE-LOC® core at a sharp angle so as to pierce the water with much better flow. ICE-LOC® core will become much smaller when city water pressure is applied just as it is with a single core install.

Q: What kind of pipes are protected with ICE-LOC?
A: ICE-LOC® will protect PVC (Schedule 40 or better), copper pipe Types L and K and all steel pipe.

Q: Can ICE-LOC® be used for sewer pipes or drainage pipes?
A: ICE-LOC® is not indented for sewer or drainage pipes. ICE-LOC® is intended for potable water systems that freeze.Sewer pipe lines with use of strong chemicals can affect the IceLoc core and unplugging pipes with powered cables would really tangle the IceLoc if it were to be used in this application.

Q: How much ICE-LOC® is needed for residential plumbing?
A: While home sizes vary, the average home has around 300 plus feet of pipe. An economical option is to protect only known problem areas; installing ICE-LOC® in the easily accessible pipes such as outside faucets may be all the protection that is required. Installing several feet of ICE-LOC® into these pipes can help protect plumbing that would otherwise be difficult to access.
