ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for unthawing frozen water pipe including a feed tube which is advanced into the frozen pipe having a probing end formed by pliant fingers forming a tip for the feed tube. The feed tube is directed into the pipe by a tube channeling length of hose means through which the feed tube passes loosely. A static pressure of water prevents leakage of water from the tube channeling length of hose means.
