I heard something in line at the Hardware store. Texans can use Whataburger cups to protect faucets

We are expecting some cold weather (by Houston standards).

The face book page for my subdivision had a listing of places with winterizing materials. By the time I got there, they were out of faucet covers but I did get some tubing. While I was in line, someone told another customer to use Whataburger cups. I had to look and here is what I found

We cut the tubing and wrapped the main pipe and the faucets and so we did not need the Whataburger cups.

I had my heart set on chili tomorrow night and the local Kroger was out of chili meat. It seems that I was not the only one with this concept.

1. Theyn sell custom-made faucet insulators that are considerably thicker. That might help though. n/t

3. They are out of these faucet covers as the local hardware stores.

For 2023, the lowest temperature for Houston was 33 degrees. We have the faucets and pipes wrapped with foam insulation that should be fine. I just was amused by the Whataburger story

2. Maybe you can get bubble wrap from the office store.

Should work, in my estimation. The fancy covers are just some poly foam in a black baggie sleeve.

Good luck.

4. 2 whataburger cups would be thicker

Or add a “hand warmer” inside the cup
