One of the hose faucets on my house is connected to galvanized steel pipe which protrudes through the concrete foundation and has been mortared in place. The problem is that on the inside of the foundation it is in an area of the crawl space which is totally inaccessible. (Eventually, I'm going to have to deal with that issue, but first things first.) Winters here are so mild that there are rarely more than two or three nights per year when it gets cold enough to worry about pipes freezing, but now that my wife has retired, there's more of a possibility that we might be gone during the winter sometimes. I'd like to replace the hose faucets with frost proof ones, but that isn't going to be possible with the one in question. Is there an alternative way to get protection against freezing for an exterior faucet? I'd like to take care of things like that so that I wouldn't have to rely on my memory or the reliability of a house sitter for matters that, however unlikely, have the potential to create large problems.
Thanks, Stan
