The cottage crawlspace insulating block, assembled
|
The notch cutouts will fit around the pipes above the
crawlspace entry |
Close the shutoff valve. Loosen & drain the bleeder cap.

The insulating block should keep these pipes from freezing, as will the heat tapes
|
|
Preparing to assemble
|
|
|
|
Lifting the backboard up between the pipes and the wall
|
2" left of center, and up
|
Up into the pipes, then right 2" to lock it in
|
|
Remove only the outside washers and wingnuts
|
The PVC tubes will guide the foam and plywood block
over the threaded rods
|
The tubes also help keep the rods from wearing away
the foam over time
|
|
The block should nestle easily into the crawlspace
opening, guided by the tubes
|
Replace the washers and wingnuts, than lock the unit
into place with the hooks
