INSTALLATION
01
Remove the adapter supplied loose inside the rainhead and fit the plastic screen onto the rainhead body.
02
Determine the correct height for the rainhead (1).
Note: it should be at a sufficient height for the water to flow into the tank while allowing for at least a 40mm to 80mm gap from the bottom of your gutter downpipe (A) to the screen of the rainhead. This gap ensures easy access for cleaning and removal of the screen when required, and prevents debris build-up inside the downpipe.
03
Remove your existing gutter downpipe below the height determined as part of step one, and mount the rainhead (1) to the wall using anchor screws.
04
Cut the desired length of pipe to feed water into the tank from the bottom of the rainhead (B).
05
If you are using a 80mm or 75mm plumbing pipe you will need to fit the supplied adapter (2) to the bottom of the rainhead (1). To ensure it is properly fitted, push the adapter as far as possible into the rainhead until there is resistance when trying to pull it out again.
Note: the smaller end should be facing down.
06
If you are using a 110mm pipe you will not need the adapter.
07
For a secure fit, it is advised to use sand paper on all interconnecting sections before applying glue. Once you are satisfied with the test-fitted position and setup, ensure all components are clean and glue in place with PVC weld glue.

Important: All components are to be test-fitted before being glued with PVC weld glue. For a secure fit, it is advised to use sand paper on all interconnecting sections before applying glue. USING A 110MM PIPE
