Pipe Packs: The Hidden Freeze Protection Your System Really Needs

When freeze-ups hit a gas system, most people look at the regulator or valve first. But many failures actually start upstream—in the pipeline carrying gas to the equipment. When temperatures drop or pressure falls, that line can cool fast, causing moisture to freeze before the gas ever reaches the regulator.

This is where CATCO Pipe Packs make the difference.

What a Pipe Pack Does

A Pipe Pack is a heated, insulated pathway that keeps gas lines warm during cold weather. Instead of heating just one component, it protects the entire run of pipe leading into your system.

Pipe Packs help by:

• Preventing ice inside feed lines

• Keeping gas temperature stable during pressure drops

• Reducing freeze-related downtime

It’s simple: warm gas flows. Cold gas freezes.

Sized for Your System

No two applications are the same. Pipe Packs can be built in different lengths, diameters, and heater configurations so your system gets the exact protection it needs.

Short run? Long run? 
CATCO builds Pipe Packs to fit the job.

Why They Matter for Energy Resilience

A regulator can only perform if the gas feeding it is warm and moving. By protecting the upstream line, Pipe Packs help ensure your entire system stays reliable—especially during the coldest days of winter.

They’re one of the simplest ways to prevent freeze-ups before they start.

The Bottom Line

Pipe Packs don’t replace your heater or enclosure—they support them by making sure the gas arrives ready to flow. When you protect the pathway, you protect the equipment and the people depending on it.

Energy resilience starts upstream. Pipe Packs keep it moving.
