ABSTRACT:
An open-sided housing constructed of heat insulative material is provided and includes a resilient and compressible seal strip extending about the wall portions of the housing defining the open side thereof. The central portion of the closed side of the housing opposite the open side thereof includes anchor structure and a pair of elastic tension member structures are provided and have one set of corresponding ends anchored relative to the anchor structure and include means at the other pair of corresponding ends thereof for releasable engagement with selected portions of an associated hose bib. The open side of the housing is placed over the exposed portions of the hose bib with the seal strip equipped open side of the housing opposing the outer wall surface beyond which the hose bib projects and an exteriorly projecting portion of the anchor structure is engaged by one hand of a person installing the cover while the other hand of the person reaches inside the cover and sequentially anchors the elastic tension members to selected portions of the hose bib. Thereafter, the elasticity of the tension members is sufficient to draw the housing into engagement with the wall outer surface and the resilient seal strip forming a fluid-tight seal with the wall. In addition, the seal strip is of a water-absorbing type whereby during cold rainy or snowy weather the seal strip will absorb moisture and be frozen to the exterior wall surface engaged thereby.
