Because a fitting is thicker and more rigid, so it cannot stretch when the ice expands, and it also has more surface area losing heat. Filter housings and brass valves are the usual casualties. Protecting equipment means enclosing it, not just wrapping the pipe leading to it.

An insulated enclosure that keeps wind off and holds a little warmth, with the pipe insulated right up to it. Where the equipment can be moved into a garage or a conditioned space, that is better still. Wrapping the housing alone rarely gets it through a hard night.

Whether the freeze is at the entry point or somewhere in the middle, which usually means checking the coldest exposed section first. Leave a faucet open so the line can relieve pressure as it thaws. If flow returns with the sound of running water somewhere, close the main.

That depends on the water source and what shows up in it, so it is worth a test before spending on equipment. What matters for winter is that any housing installed outdoors becomes a freeze risk. Where a filter is needed, indoors is the better place for it.
