This kit enables you to divert water from a downspout that is approximately 72mm x 72mm (~2-7/8" square) square into those blue plastic barrel regularly used for rain storage. Must provide your own min 36mm inner diameter/max 40mm outer diameter hose as well as hose clamp, and zip tie.
Installation instructions
- Use the main body as a guide to make a cut out in your downspout so you can fit it into a straight section. Has to be used in a downspout section where the port can be facing downward.
- Fit the adapter nut over the hose adapter then use a min 36mm inner diameter hose along with a hose clamp to secure the hose to the hose adapater.
- Then simply thread the adapter nut onto the main body of the diverter.
- Thread the Water collector into the hole with the large threaded hole in your plastic liquid drum (Typically blue plastic barrels).
- Fit the filter into the water collector.
- Fit the other end of your 36mm min inner diameter hose into the 40mm opening on the water collecter and use a adaquate length ziptie to secure if needed.
- Finally screw in the air vent into the small threaded hole. (This is optional and just helps the water flow in and out of your rain barrel. (this model has a custom support so the bottom unsupport edge prints better, use a flat blade screwdriver to remove after printing)
Printing instructions:
- I used PLA but more weather resistant material may be needed depending on location.
- 0.20mm layer height especially for the air lock as it had a custom designed support which needs to be removed after printing.
- I used 15% Infill but it shouldn't mater much most stuff is thin enough there isnt much infill to begin with.
- I used organic supports to support the port on the mainbody, Otherwise supports should not be needed on the other models.
