Installation
- Select a position to install your Rain Barrel Linking Kit. To maximise storage volume, you will want to install your linking kit towards the top of your rain barrel.
- Using a cordless drill and the supplied hole saw, drill a hole in the first rain barrel where you will be installing your outlet. Ensure the edges of the hole are free from burrs.
- Take the main body of your Rain Barrel Outlet and insert in through the hole so that the barbed end is sticking out of the barrel.
- Holding the main body in place, screw the nut onto the outside of the Rain Barrel Outlet and tighten using a spanner.
- Repeat steps 2 to 4 for your other Rain Barrel Outlet.
- Using a knife, cut your 32mm hose to suit the distance between your Rain Barrel Outlets. For optimum performance, ensure that the hose forms a nice smooth path for unrestricted water flow.
- Loosen both the stainless steel hose clamps with a screwdriver and place one on each end of the hose.
- Press one end of the hose onto the first Rain Barrel Outlet so that it covers all of the barbed section. It should push on with a moderate amount of force, but softening the end of the hose with some warm water may make this easier if required.
- Tighten the hose clamp, making sure it is gripping both the hose and the outlet.
- Press the opposite end of the hose onto the other Rain Barrel Outlet and tighten the hose clamp.
