WARNING: Do not attempt to defrost PVC, CPVC, or other plastic pipes
with a heat gun.
WARNING: Water pipes are often difficult to distinguish from gas pipes!
Before attempting to defrost metal pipe with a heat gun, confirm the pipe is a
water line and not a gas pipe.
WARNING: Copper pipes are joined with solder containing tin which
melts at about 392°F. Exercise extreme caution when defrosting near pipe
fittings that you don't exceed solder's melting point or a leak may result,
possibly causing property damage.
