Outdoor tap frost cover

A frozen outside tap can split the pipe behind the wall, and a snug cover traps air around it through winter. This cover is a two-part hinged clamshell 120 mm in diameter and 140 mm deep with 3 mm walls, a 25 mm pipe cutout at the back with a foam gasket recess, a 4 mm hinge pin, a snap latch on the front and a hanging loop. Print both halves open-side down in ASA or PETG, which stay tough in frost where PLA cracks, and line the inside with foam.

Describe your tap's projection and pipe diameter to SpeakCAD and the cover is generated to enclose it without pressing on the handle. Ask for a version that fits a wall-mounted hose connector or a lockable latch. The browser preview is free.
