With a Cold-Shot® Pipe Freezing Kit, you don’t have to drain water lines, sprinkler systems, or hot water systems before cutting pipe or tubing. Our pipe freezing tool keeps a fully pressurized system operating while you make repairs.
The Cold-Shot pipe freezing tool freezes liquids in metal and plastic pipes ranging from 1/8″ through 2″ (10mm to 60mm) using carbon dioxide (CO2). Dip tube-type CO2 cylinders are available from any welding supply house.
The Cold-Shot works faster than “refrigerator-type” units, is more compact and less expensive. It’s faster and uses less CO2 than “bag-type” pipe freezers, because the freeze head makes a better seal around the pipe. In five minutes you’re ready to go to work on 1/2″ copper tubing, and just three minutes for cast iron pipe.

- ProPress and MegaPress Butterfly Valves
- ProPress and MegaPress Wafer Check Valves
The MegaPress 316 Globe Valve is the first globe valve on the market with IPS press ends and features EPDM or FKM sealing elements. Available ½″ – 2″, this globe valve provides precise flow regulation where throttling fluids is essential. Model 5185.1 with the EPDM sealing element features NSF-61 approval for potable water systems. Looking to use this in more challenging environments? Model 5985.1 with FKM sealing elements, 316 stainless steel body and components provide excellent corrosion resistance, enhancing the valve’s durability.
The ProPress and MegaPress Butterfly Valves, available in sizes 2 ½-4″, complete your system with dependable Viega press technology. These butterfly valves provide reliable flow isolation and control and are NSF-61-rated. Model 2979.8ZL is crafted with a ductile iron body and durable epoxy coating, proving more cost-effective than carbon steel while offering higher pressure and temperature ratings than cast iron. Model 5179.8 features a 316 stainless steel body, providing superior corrosion resistance against even the harshest medium. Both versions are equipped with an EPDM seal. These butterfly valves are optimized for use with ProPress and MegaPress flange adapters.
The ProPress and MegaPress Wafer Check Valves are used to prevent reverse flow. Available in sizes 2 ½″ – 4″, these valves feature a dual-disk design to create a more streamlined flow path, reducing pressure drops and increasing energy efficiency. Models 2974.3XL and 5174XL include an NSF-61 rating, making them the ideal choice for installing potable water systems with ease.

For today’s commercial washrooms, touchless restroom technology is no longer just a nice-to-have – it’s a must. According to recent research, 80% of Americans say touchless fixtures are important, and 75% say they prove their overall restroom experience.
For mechanical contractors tasked with meeting these rising expectations, Bradley’s all-in-one touchless WashBar® offers the perfect solution – combining advanced technology with fast, straightforward installation. It also checks all the boxes for efficient soap refills, keeping water off floors and extended dryer motor life.
An Innovative Approach to Touch-free Handwashing
The WashBar combines soap, water, and dryer in a single cast metal unit, available in multiple corrosion-resistant finishes. Icons help users navigate the functions, and LED lights indicate activation by changing from blue to green. The clean, rinse, and dry functions operate independently without triggering adjacent functions.
With sleek design, reliable multifunction operation and yhe WashBar provides a seamless touch-free handwashing experience. The WashBar’s streamlined U-shaped design isn’t just stylish — it’s functional and ergonomic. It’s also a registered trademark of Bradley, emphasizing their leadership in modern washroom design.
Simplified Installation
For contractors, the biggest advantage is what the WashBar removes from the install list: separate soap dispensers, faucets, and hand dryers. With one fixture handling it all, labor is significantly reduced, meaning fewer wall and deck penetrations, less coordination between trades, and simpler electrical and plumbing connections.
With pre-assembled components on-site labor is minimized. The deck-mounted fixture is compatible with Bradley’s extensive selection of lavatory systems made of Terreon® Solid Surface or Evero® Natural Quartz. Both materials are resilient and sustainable natural composite materials that are nonporous, seamless and easy to clean.
The WashBar is designed to make installs easier and faster, without sacrificing performance or code compliance.
Top Fill Multi-feed Soap System
Maintenance is also minimized. The WashBar’s innovative top fill soap design features a large capacity 1.3-gallon (5.0 L) tank that can supply up to three WashBars – a huge time saver for facilities with multiple stations.
Staff can easily refill soap to multiple units through a single top fill hub. Smart sense system with LED indicator lets staff know when soap and battery levels are low and provides audible and visual indicators to prevent overfilling.
Hand Dryer Keeps Floors Cleaner and Drier
The WashBar’s dryer is engineered to balance air flow and noise, providing a better user experience. While its heated air stream dries hands quickly and efficiently, the dryer and bowl have been designed to work together to eliminate the spraying of water that could drip onto the user, walls or floor, minimizing slips and falls, and increasing safety.
Brushless Motor for Longer Life
For added durability, Bradley’s latest WashBar models include a new brushless hand dryer motor with 10 times the lifespan of standard brushed motors. It’s backed by an upgraded 3-year warranty.

Don’t be fooled by imitations! Over 50 years of technical advancements make the rugged, all-metal Kinetic Water Ram® the choice for quickly clearing clogged drains. Just pump it up, insert in drain – and snap the trigger. It’s that fast.
Lightweight and economical, the futuristic Kinetic Water Ram generates a shock wave that instantly pulverizes stoppages in 1-1/4″ to 4″ lines – yet won’t harm pipes. Quickly clear clogged sinks, toilets and tubs of grease, hair, sediment and debris.
Environmentally friendly, the compact, portable drain cleaning tool is cleaner than snakes – and safer than chemicals. It requires no electrical power or CO2 gas.
The Kinetic Water Ram uses a burst of compressed air that drives a shock wave (kinetic energy) through water to break up the stoppage. The shock wave bypasses vents and stacks to break-up clogs. You get instant impact with no pressure build-up. The built-in pump and pressure gauge lets you choose the right amount of force for each job.
The Kinetic Water Ram is particularly useful when the stoppage is on the far side of a drum trap or series of tight bends, since the shock wave can travel around bends without losing its force.
The sleek and easy-to-handle Kinetic Water Ram is made of durable plated metal components. The unit comes in a sturdy carrying case with molded compartments for the drain cleaning tool and accessories.
