Arctic Hayes Freezing Jacket 8-28mm ASM01

The Arctic Hayes Freezing Jacket is an essential tool for any professional plumber, designed to make pipework repairs faster and cleaner. Used with a pipe freezing spray, this jacket helps you create a solid ice plug in minutes, allowing you to repair or replace valves without the time-consuming need to drain down the entire system.

Save Time and Mess on Every Pipe Repair

For any professional plumber, time is money, and there's no bigger time sink than an unnecessary system drain-down. What starts as a simple job, like swapping out a faulty valve, can quickly spiral into a messy, multi-hour task of draining, repairing, refilling, and bleeding. The Arctic Hayes Freezing Jacket 8–28mm ASM01 is the problem-solver that turns that lengthy process into a quick, clean, and profitable job. This simple but highly effective tool allows you to isolate a section of pipe in minutes, getting you onto the next job faster.

This reusable 20cm insulated jacket is designed to work in tandem with an Arctic Spray Freeze Kit (ZEK1 or ZEK2).

The process is incredibly efficient: you simply wrap the jacket around the pipe you need to work on and secure it tightly with the two provided cable ties. This snug fit ensures that the intense cold is focused directly onto one spot when you apply the pipe freezing spray. The jacket's high-quality insulation prevents the cold from dissipating, rapidly forming a solid ice plug inside the pipe. This temporary plug is strong enough to hold back the water pressure, giving you a safe, dry window to cut the pipe and complete your repair. This functions as an effective pipe freezing sleeve.

Here at Heating & Plumbing World, we recommend it as a tool for working smarter. Its versatility is a major advantage; a single jacket can be used on all standard pipe sizes from 8mm to 28mm, across any material, including copper, steel, and plastic. By avoiding the need to drain a full system, you save hours of labour, reduce mess, and avoid introducing air and potential contaminants back into the heating system. It is a small investment that immediately pays for itself by increasing your on-the-job efficiency.
