how do you connect the gutter installer to the gutter and to the rain chain
1601126
If you are replacing a down spout with a rain chain then you have a problem because the installer is smaller than the down spout hole. You'll need a professional if this is your situation. We had remodeled our front porch and put up a new gutter so all we needed to do was drill a 1 1/2 inch hole, apply clear caulking around the hole and insert the installer. Hope this helps.

Put the round part into the gutter. Take out the bolt on one side, slide the rain chain onto the bolt and replace the bolt. Mine came with instructions/diagrams.

You would either unscrew the crossbar of the gutter installer and/or you can temporarily remove the hanging portion of the top part of rain chain.We did it both ways to connect the chain to the installer

I recently removed my gutter installer- I rigged it together last year, rain chain fell over the winter- and gutter got completely clogged with debris because of it:( I actually bought 2 different rain chains- what worked better was the one with a "V" shaped wire to connect the chain- so I fashioned one with the wire from a 5 gallon bucket. I cut it about 10" long probably and just made "ears" on each end to keep it in the gutter- so far so good and no debris build up. I thought about returning the connecter but it would cost me too much in shipping. Good luck- enjoy-

The gutter installer slips inside the gutter spout and hangs down through the opening. Then you just hook the rain chain onto it. Very easy.

not sure, but, you want to protect the outlet and plugin from the weather. ideally the temp and wet/dry sensor is designed to lay in the gutter.

I haven't actually installed my rain chain yet. I bought some special coating to apply so that the copper stays bright, and I haven't had time to polish the chain and apply the coating yet. Also, we have vinyl rain gutters... so there is not an issue of two metals causing corrosion.

Not sure what kind of a question that is. The Orbit controller work great. The other fitting parts would be the PVC piping to connect the sprinklers. Ckeck out a You Tube on sprinkler installation. Should show what you need. Maybe a different question.

I don't really know. We had a friend do the installation and I didn't get any details. Ours is a bit cranky: it stops working sometimes when it rains.

You buy a "Y" connector and attach the single end of it to a hose that has one end attached to your water source (faucet). You are left with 2 nozzle ends on the "Y" open. Attach 2 hoses ...one to each open nozzle on the "Y" and then attach 2 sprinklers on the ends of those 2 hoses. Voila! ( You could also just screw the "Y" into your faucet head & skip the first hose. It all depends on how far you have to go get your sprinklers in the right spots to water what you want to water.) A

As mentioned in some of the other answers these are to direct water away from the side of the trailer and they do an excellent job. With your problem it may be that your rain gutter is blocked. Mine was blocked with the caulking from when the awning was installed. I cut out the caulk, made sure that the gutters were clear, and problem solved. Again the extensions are wonderful.

I tried to provide a nice thick layer of silicone between the gutter and the copper installer. I'm quite sure they are not actually touching and making contact.

No connections are provided. You would need to purchase that from Lowes or Home Depot.

I see no reason why you can not do this. Don't do so many you mess up the integrity of your gutters and take away from the beauty and fun of the rain chain itself.

I purchased a conduit clamp the size of the roll bar and made a wood wedge for the spacer between the clamp and the top and {2} 1/4" bolts, flat washers, and self locking nuts. I installed this in the middle for safety. Very similar to the other clamps that hold the top down. You will need a rubber washer under the top washer to stop the water from dripping when out in the rain. I did 2 other things that I don't think I can explain here. I can send you some pics. if you want. I have pulled mine 60 miles per hour with no problem. Wind shield beware.

There 2 steps. One connect the pipes & the other one do the electrical connection.

Good question. I guess this depends on how the metal roof is fastened where the gutter meets it. I would suggest contacting scott at LeafsOut. his email is scott@leafsout.com . He was very helpful when I made my purchased and answered all of my questions.

The outlet valve is a standard garden hose bib. So with the proper adapter the connection is no problem. As to connecting 1/4" drip tubing; the hydraulics will dictate how well it works. The volume and height of your rain container as well the length of the run and type of drip system will tell you lots. Aside from that, you will need to filter the rain water for the drip system.

Install the diverter tubing that connects the outflow (that would go into the bucket) to the internal connection leading to the drain hole. If you don't have a manual, download from the manufacturer's site.

Easy to set up. Screw in the hose and stick it in the ground. If the ground is hard, which ours is, I pound a screwdriver in first, to break in a spot for the sprinkler. It's very heavy duty and sturdy, but the prongs go deep.
