Water lines should be insulated. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Bill is correct elevated and if it can be disturbed by a vehicle a safety bollard. How old is this Monkey wards has been history for years..

I see a few of these on vacation properties in my area, and most are not properly vented. Then you get he reply of, well it's only in the garage.
