How about heat tape? My wife remembers that we used it on a spigot in N.J. that was openly exposed to the wind coming across the H.S. softball field. It worked.

We have a lemon tree/bush in our yard that was given to us as a joke present. I covered that baby like a baby and it was doing well. I would guess it was ready to give us some small lemons that coming spring. I forgot to cover the lemon baby an almost killed her. Luckily we got a few small lemons that spring and the verbal beating from everyone stopped. I have a lot on my mind nowadays. Like doing NOTHING. Best of luck to all during the cold snap and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Their inventory shows what is sold, not what has been stolen...

What I've done is place a thin wicking material around the faucet then wrap the whole thing in a thicker layer then cover it with a faucet cover I bought a lowes. The three layers really insulate it well and prevent freezing and expensive damage due to pipes freezing and bursting (I've heard it can cost thousands of $$$). I do this on any night it its forecast to get below 40 degrees, just to be sure. 3 years and our pipes are just fine!

Oh, wait, actually I've done absolutely nothing for these 3 years and our pipes are just fine. No covers, no running water all night, no nothing. I think I'm gonna stick with what works...and its easy.

:thumbup: That's just what I was told my management at the Lowes on 441.

:) If anyone is interested Amazon has them in stock for Prime Delivery by Friday. That would work just fine.
"faucet covers for winter" less than $4 each.

"Up North" I would stuff a ratty, raggedy old moving blanket into the water meter vault at the curb also. Put it in there late fall, take it out early spring. Keep the pipe in the open air (uninsulated) lawn vault cozily insulated.

They have a lot of faucet covers, but I didn't see any for less than 4 dollars, and most of them arrive after Christmas. Can you provide an exact link?

You can make them from pool noodles.

Frost King faucet covers - $3.99 for 1 and $14.99 for 4...... BUT THE FRIDAY DELIVERY IS NOT THERE NOW. Sorry..... you snooze you loose! I find Amazon changes minute to minute and I mean prices too. Less than a hour ago it said delivery Friday for Prime Members. :oops:
