[QUOTE="lostinnd, post: 199695, member: 1428"] Well both of mine have a lot of frost built up, not sure if they are completely plugged yet or not but with a fresh coating of snow I am not headed back up there to open them up. Plan will be to just fill all the traps after using the shower/toilets for a couple days until it warms up. Both of my vents have elbows and horizontal runs in the attic so unfortunately it sounds like the copper t won't work for us. Working on finding those black plastic insul-vent covers but no luck here locally and tough to find online. Menards locally has a metal one with a lead ring at the top but it needs to be put under shingles to work properly. Found this thing which is mainly for stopping leaks but it looks like it might do the ticket for keeping the pipe warm too [url]https://www.homedepot.com/p/Perma-Boot-Pipe-Boot-Repair-for-3-in-I-D-Vent-Pipe-Black-Color-PBR-312-[/url] 3BK/202581375#customer_reviews Also found this job.. [url]https://frostfreesewervent.com[/url] The inlaws put some kind of black plastic insulated covers on theirs years ago and haven't had any issues yet. [/QUOTE]
