Estimate the cost of protecting outdoor faucets and spigots from freezing. Covers insulated faucet covers, hose disconnects, pipe insulation, and faucet locks.

Project Details

Outdoor Faucets (faucets)

1 = rigid foam dome (budget, most common), 2 = insulated fabric pouch (better seal), 3 = heated cover (extreme cold, plugs in)

Add Hose Disconnect (0=no, 1=yes)

1 = add a quick-disconnect wrench set to easily detach hoses without straining fittings

Pro Tips

✓ Disconnect and drain garden hoses before the first freeze — water trapped in a connected hose can back up and burst the pipe inside the wall
✓ Frost-free hose bibs still need covers if temperatures drop below 20°F for extended periods
✓ After covering, turn on the faucet briefly to confirm the indoor shutoff valve is closed and no water runs
✓ Mark covered faucets with a flag or tag so you remember to uncover them before spring watering
