 Swapping a TRV/freezing pipe - smokie
I need to swap out a TRV which has seized.

Someone mentioned freezing the pipe rather than draining down the system, which has some appeal. Has anyone here done it? This is the stuff.

Also, are the jackets re-usable, as the pack says disposable but you can buy more cans of the magic - forward planning on my part!!
