Performance  

Thaw and Cure 

performance in the field is affected by a wide range of factors to include soil type, 

density of frozen ice in the soil, hose spacing, thermal rating of the covering insulating blankets, and 

ambient temperatures.

 

 

Heat 

performance in interior spaces is also affected by several factors to include outside ambient 

temperatures, heat loss through walls and ceiling, and the volume of the space to be heated.

 

 

In general, with proper hose spacing and adequate insulation, the operator should be able to THAW 

about one foot of soil per day. Consult our Thawzall Technical Support personnel with questions 

regarding proper hose spacing. 888.757.3545 

 

 

 

 

 

HIGH ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENTS

 

 

 

If your Thawzall is to be used at altitudes above 5,000 feet (1,530 meters), the burner nozzle and air intake settings must 

be changed to accommodate lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes.  

Please see service bulletin # 501
