Drink with retired setter maybe after installing old copper insulator (7,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

draught excluder

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'installing old copper insulator' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'drink with retired setter maybe' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'draught' (draught is a kind of drink).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'retired setter maybe' becomes 'excluder' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'draught'+'excluder'='DRAUGHT EXCLUDER'

'after' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for draught excluder that I've seen before include "that might stop delivery of beer?" , "Solution to current problem" , "Current bar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
