I just bought a small electric heater (250 Watt) from Walmart. Didnt realize it had no thermostat. I'm keeping this under the kitchen sink with the doors open. In the bathroom, i have a slightly iarger electric heater with thermostat. That keep the bathroom pipes warmer because the cab. door is kept open. Also, a lot of heat circulates from the bathroom to the bedrrom so the bedroom is toasty at night.
Now that I have heater under kitchen sink in cabinet, i replaced the missing foam insulation around the pipes where they exit outside and become the drain lines. I also put foam pipe insulation around the 8-10" length of pex tubing with the small shutoff valves on them. The only thing that is now exposed is the actual plastic shut-off valves at end of pex tubing. I'm sure this is where the freezing first occurred. Fortunately, we noticed the frozen lines before it bacame a serious problem
What else can I do to protect those small valves and is that piece of foam pipe insulation around the pex enough?
