frostproof

Won't freeze over

Frostproof describes something designed or able to withstand freezing temperatures without damage.

Plants labeled frostproof can survive light frosts.

Pipes, containers, and outdoor equipment may be frostproof to prevent cracking in winter: We installed frostproof spigots on the north side of the house.
