will this clear a 3 Inch frozen pipe?

I doubt it. It operates on pressure build up in order to clear paper & waste products from septic lines. The rubber expands to block water from backing up & forces water under pressure to clear the line. Saves time & money since you won't need a plumber with a snake. It will do nothing but could break the pipe if it's plastic with a snake

Chris, I love this product and have used for years. This product is rubber and rubber will burst in too cold conditions. I really dont suggest this use of the product.As it shoots 1000' ft of water you could burst your own pipe. If you can see the ice try a oil dipstick heater it will melt it. Good luck

I am not sure. Maybe it is too big for a 3 inch pipe. I used it for the main drain.

It might help if you use very hot water. I don't think it is designed to push ice out of a pipe. However it works great when trying to move organic material.

I only use this product on my snow blower, stops ice build up & aids in preventing clogs in the discharge shute.

The specifications state on the package the device is for 4 inch pipe, but after examining the bristles on the brush, I see no reason why it would not work also on the 3 inch pipe. The bristles appear to be flexible enough to withstand the bending for 3 inch pipe, but it is not something I have personally tried. Where you might run into difficulty would be with tight 90 degree elbows. Good luck.

It will help melt it a little,but much better if you are able to spray before the snow then it will help with the clearing off.

Most probably, the filter is about 2 in diameter, and when on filled with water, it empties a bit when disconnected but never is fully empty. I would expect it to freeze and damage at least the filter media if not the case. Also, if you left it dribble it would it use up its capacity in a short time.

The rubber connecter is 3in you could probely fit the pipe in but it would be tight you should go with a 3.5in filter . Your pipe and filter inlet are the same size

Not sure. Would have to ask the manufacturer. I used on regular water pipes.

Yes, waiting until the ice loses its frosty appearance helps. Also if the ice cubes are small to start with I have trouble getting them to shave correctly. I'm talking about the approximately 1/4" yhick cubes you get from some ice machines. Barry

I bough this filter along with a common refrigeration ice maker kit with plastic tube, but it will take 1/4 inch copper if that's what you are looking for. Hope that answers your question. Rick M.

Dear Jim W., This 3M wrap works by applying super tight pressure as you pull it tight around a pipe. Since it has no adhesive, it is a very temporary fix and it works best for a pin size leak in a pipe, only until you can repair the pipe as soon as possible. It would not repair any type of cracks. I hope this helps answer your question. Maren

Not sure I use this on my sink for drinking water and it removes the foul taste in the water soy guess would be it would give you clear ice

I have no problem with this on my ice machine. I have an in line pre filter that takes all the impurities out of the water before it reaches the ice machine. Any inline water filter from your local hardware store should do the trick.

No it will not be, but you cannot drink anything from it until it un thaws. The best way to use this is freeze the inner component for freezing add water and ice it last for hours.

I honestly don't know. It works very well to prevent freezing in a water line near the grounds surface. I doubt that it would meet your needs, but you might want to contact the manufacturer.

Yes, just follow directions. Would work best with new 50/50 antifreeze water mix.

I have not tried that specifically however I believe the answer is yes. It should defrost even through the glass and likely speed the defrost process without affecting the contents

Mine won't because I have mine run through an uninsulated, unprotected water hose - I expect that if water can reach the Lixit it will work just fine. My guess is that unless you have a heated exterior faucet or live in a part of the country that stays below freezing most of the winter, this will be more of a warm weather / warm day solution.
