Is this designed for a sealed or ventelated barrel?

I use it on a ventilated barrel and it works fine. it would probably work on a sealed barrel too.

I have four rain barrels and vented the first two because we thought they would need vents but after the barrel filled with water they would pour water out of the vents, the second pair of barrels were not vented but the filled to the top with out a problem so I feel that the vents are not needed !!

Just make sure the barrel is "mostly" empty. Otherwise water could freese and expand and crack your barrel. I reroute the water to a corrugated plasitic pipe underground that daylights away from the foundation.

Yes, No vent rib allowed. I bought a 18 1/2" barrel and stored my vent rib barrel. $96 for a Mossburg barrel made for the 870.

Yes. It screws on with plastic threads and is kinda sketchy. I epoxied mine on. If I recall, removing it just exposes the raw barrel.

Chances are the barrel diameter will be too large to accept this accessory. If you were able to make a fit, I would be concerned that heat from the barrel would ultimately compromise the part.

Yes, on the plunger, but...The air release doesn't really help prevent air pockets in the casings. What I've found determines the air in the casings is a combination of factors: the fineness of the grind, how well packed the barrel is and, perhaps most important, how skilled the operator is in regulating the fill of the casings. In my observation, the air release on the plunger prevents the mechanism from locking up with a vacuum created from the pressure of the manufacture.

I live in Colorado. Instructions are to empty the barrel during the winter months and winterize the hose connection to prevent refilling. That's my plan.

No ..but they do offer one that will for the same price ..the standard here fits tight against the factory barrel

Actually it should not matter if the barrel is sealed or not. The barrels are not air tight and the barrel will only fill to the height that the diverter is placed in the downspout. That is why it is important to place the diverter in the downspout at the height listed in the directions. When the water in the barrel is raised to the height of the diverter any water coming down the downspout will simply overflow the diverter and run down the downspout.

That, because of the diameter of the barrel, would be a stretch. You may want to check the manufacturers website to see if a larger size is available. Good luck

I think the width of the clamp would be a little big but vertically you can fit on just about any barrel so it would probably work

the plastic is food grade, but the seal I think does not closes hermetically ... The safest would be talking to the seller or producer of this barrel.

This fits on the outside of the barrel, it is held on by one small set screw. I bent the allen wrench that was included trying to re-install it tight enough so that it will not fall of from the vibration of firing the rifle. it marred the end of the barrel and is not worth it. I threw mine away.

I'm not totally sure, but the lid has perforated (circular) holes with a screen so that the water dumps onto the lid and then flows into the barrel. I didn't realize it came that way and had to modify the top to fit my needs. I converted it to a slow rate sand filter for a fish pond. It is a good barrel and can probably easily be modified to suit your needs.

I'm sorry. Yes it does for the most part. I would recommend it and I love it! I feel it works as good as it can with such a short barrel. I hope that helps! BTW Amazon is great to return items if you don't like it. Take care and have fun! Rich

I think it should be the same way to add it on. Remember I would suggest a extended barrel as well. double check first the speks and which brand it is.

It is my understanding ( as I don't have one but gave these as a gift )..that you hold the COLORED barrel & twist to open from the top. Hope that helps.
