Outdoor tap frost cover

Protect an outside tap from freezing

Slip it over an outside tap before the first frost, open side to the wall, stuff it with bubble wrap or wool and hold it with a bungee through the side holes: the tap stays above freezing, and the notch clears a pipe that runs down the wall.
