Housing for drain outlet

An apparatus for protecting from freezing an above-ground conduit outlet on an exterior wall of a building, the freeze protection apparatus comprising

• (a) a housing adapted for covering the conduit outlet, the housing including
• a top wall,
• a front wall, and
• a pair of opposed side walls interconnecting the top wall and the front wall,
• wherein the housing partially defines an enclosed area having a rear aperture and a bottom aperture;
• (b) thermal insulating material lining the interior surface of the walls of the housing;
• and
• (c) means for mounting the housing to the exterior wall adjacent the conduit outlet,
• wherein the inner edges of the side walls and the top wall contact the exterior wall and the bottom edges of the side walls and the front wall contact the ground below the conduit outlet for enclosing the conduit outlet within an enclosed space defined by the housing, exterior wall and the ground, and
• wherein heat is retained within the housing to prevent fluid within the conduit from freezing.
