How To Use An Avanti Rainwater Diverter
The Avanti rainwater diverter is a new solution for transferring rainwater from your guttering and downpipe system into a water storage container such as a water butt. This guides and tips article will take you through the simple process of fitting the avanti diverter to a downpipe and fitting the other end to a water butt.
Installing an Avanti Rainwater Diverter
- Firstly, fit the supplied holesaw from the avanti pack onto a standard drill and drill a hole into your downpipe where you would like to fit the receiving end of the diverter.
- Remove the circular piece of downpipe that you have drilled out.
- Take the C shaped rubber seal and push both ends of the seal into the hole you have drilled in your downpipe. From the outside of the downpipe you should now have a large hole and two smaller holes on the seal flat against the downpipe.
- Take the diverter pipe connector and fit it into the large hole and two smaller holes of the rubber seal on your downpipe.
- Screw the two supplied screws into the small top and bottom holes of the diverter pipe connector to secure it.
- Place some lubricant onto pipe section of the diverter connector in preparation for fitting the diverter pipe.
- Fit the diverter pipe onto the connector, you may need to twist the pipe as you push it on.
- Using the same holesaw as before, drill a hole in your water butt where you want the rainwater to feed in to.
- Fit the second, smaller rubber seal in the avanti pack into the hole you have drilled in your water butt.
- Use the final connector piece to connect the end of the rainwater diverter pipe to the rubber seal in your water butt.
