You might want to rethink this most items that keep water unfrozen will cut off when dry. I have used the heating pads with great success and I will guarantee there is a dollar store close by. |

This would be the right way to do it but you need access to the pipes. We use them up here mainly for rural applications where there's septic drains that can freeze up. |

Also, it shuts off at 50 degrees so it should never heat beyond that. The length I bought was three feet of heated portion and a 24 inch lead. It can be wrapped so you can still use the faucet. The main thing is to have the thermostat ( I think it's a klixon myself) touching the cold surface. The rest could hang free. It will heat, but only until the thermostat sees 50. One wrap around and the rest balled up under the foam cup/cover until you need to run water. Pull off the cover and let the heat strip hang while using the hose. |

When we lived in NH I'd shut of the water to the front and back spigots and let them drain. Then wrap them in bubble wrap. Never had a problem.

Actually the ideal setup (I had in my last house and will in the new one)
PEX manifold. Each fixture has its own shut off at the manifold. When it's extreme cold just shut down and drain. Done. |

Go to Lowes, purchase a heat lamp, put a tarp around the lamp like a little tent and instant heat. It keeps chicks and such warm.
They sell them with the clamp on type funnel shaped holder. The lamps are good for 5000 hours. Easy to set up easy to take down. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Woods-300-W...ard/5000375623 https://www.lowes.com/pd/GE-250-Watt...ulb/1000438359 |

Attaching a tarp to the side of the house is not real easy. I also think the goal was to use the faucet with something addressing the freeze, still in place.

I have one spigot at my house here, where I have seen -16F. I told the plumber to install the spigot on the inside of my garage. That dumb bastard was confused as hell, trying to install a 12" no-freeze that he had in his truck. I actually had to buy a hose valve and thread-on anti-siphon valve for him to install.
