General Wire Hot Shot HS-400 Pipe Thawer, 400 Amp, Two 20 ft. Cables

The General Wire Hot Shot HS-400 is a portable electric pipe thawing machine for plumbers, contractors and homeowners facing frozen water lines. It produces up to 400 amps to thaw pipe as large as 1-1/2 in. in diameter over runs of up to 175 ft.

The unit plugs into a standard 115 V, 60 Hz single-phase outlet. Output reaches 400 amps while drawing 20 amps, or 320 amps on a 15 amp draw, so it can match the circuit available on site. A 20 amp circuit breaker plus thermal overload protection guard against overheating and electrical faults, and the heavy-gauge steel housing stands up to daily jobsite handling.

Setup is simple: clamp the two 20 ft. #2 cables to the frozen pipe, plug in, and the line starts to thaw within minutes, without an open flame. The cables come fitted with clamps and lugs. Part number 113130.
