ABSTRACT:
An insulating and stabilizing structure is provided for a faucet mounted on an unsupported vertical pipe extending upwardly from a pipe fitting on a horizontal pipe through the ground. The structure consists of an insulated sleeve to fit over a portion of the vertical pipe extending upwardly above the ground, so as to insulate it from the elements to prevent freeze up of water therein. A casing has an elongated slot extending upwardly from its lower end, so as to form two blades thereon. The casing fits over the insulated sleeve with the blades inserted into the ground until the top of the slot stops at the pipe fitting on the horizontal pipe, so as to retain in a stationary position the vertical pipe extending upwardly from the pipe fitting. A cap having a central hole fits over the top of the casing and the insulated sleeve to allow the top of the vertical pipe to extend through the central hole, so that the faucet can be connected thereto.
