Downpipe Diverter (Inline) Rectangle

• Downpipe Diverter
• ½” garden hose fitting and seal
• 1 ¼” hose fitting and seal
• 2 x 3″ top pipe adaptor
• 2 x 3″ base pipe adaptor

• Tape measure
• Marker pen
• Saw
• Spirit level

1. Select a position to install your downpipe diverter which will allow a smooth path for the hose to your barrel. If you are using the inlet hose to limit the height of water within your barrel, ensure the outlet is below the top
   of the rain barrel. Mark the lower cut point (A).

   If using 3×4” pipe	A = Approx 3” (76mm)
   If using 2×3” pipe with the included adaptor	A = 5” (127mm)

2. Then mark the top cut, and remove the section of pipe (B). Ensure all cut edges are clean and smooth.

   If using 3×4” pipe	B = Approx 7⅜” (187mm)
   If using 2×3” pipe with the included adaptor	B = 9⅜” (238mm)

3. Determine whether the Flow Diverter will be used to maximum water capture. If you have a rainhead or gutter mesh upstream to filter out large debris, the Flow Diverter is recommended. If you have no upstream rainhead or gutter mesh, do not use the Flow Diverter. You will still catch a high flow of water. The Flow Diverter snaps in/out of the Upper Slip Coupling.

4. Installing the Downpipe Diverter:

   2 x 3” Downpipe

   1. Slide the Base Adaptor onto the lower section of pipe.

   2. Press the Top Adaptor into the Slip coupling.

   3. Slide the Slip Coupling/Top Adaptor onto the upper section of cut pipe and hold it in position.

   4. Insert the Downpipe Diverter onto the pipe (no glue required). Then lower the Slip Coupling/Adaptor back into position, sliding it into the Diverter.

   3 x 4” Downpipe

   1. Slide the Slip Coupling onto the upper section of cut pipe and hold it in position.

   2. Insert the Downpipe Diverter onto the pipe (no glue required). Then lower the Slip Coupling back into position, sliding it into the Diverter.

5. Screw on either the 12mm or 1¼” hose fitting onto the nozzle.

6. Connect the hose to your rain barrel or rainwater tank as required.

For the best performance, check your downpipe diverter periodically by lifting the slip coupling up to remove and leaves which might have become lodged on the Filter.

The body of the Downpipe Diverter and the Filter can be removed easily by hand.

After cleaning the unit by brushing or hosing the filter, simply return it back into place.

The frequency of inspections will depend on the environment around you. For example, if you are in a high leaf area, inspections should occur more regularly.
