can I cut one end to fasten it with an o-ring to a rain barrel? Does the material stay in tact so I can get the O-ring around it?

The rain barrel I purchased had a built-in spout, so I did not need to cut the hose... if you're going to cut a hose, perhaps an old garden hose would do the trick. The material is very study, so don't think it would be wise to cut. Hope this helps.

I would use a PVC pipe instead. But I guess it depends on how you want to attach the hose to the barrel

It did not work with my Rain Barrel. Your millage may vary. Note, it sounded like a solenoid as opposed to a motor when it "opened".

I sold my cable when I moved cross country. The male prongs are molded (if I recall) so no risk of water entering the extension cable. Cut an old 5 quart Motor Oil (plastic) canister and use it as rain shield? Other choice is to find 4 inch diameter PVC pipe from hardware store. Maybe 1 foot long pipe would be enough to keep the connectors protected from the elements inside the pipe.

In order to connect it to a hose bibb you need an adapter such as this: Perma-Loc Tubing End Cap - Perma-Loc Size : 1/2"In order to cap the end you need a clamp such as this: Raindrip 299005B 5-Count 1/2-Inch Hose End Clamp (Discontinued by Manufacturer)Have a great day!

I made my own tool. Take one of the bits (say, the pointed one), and cut it off about 4" beyond the part that goes into the drill. Throw away the pointy end. Now, buy a 3" piece of steel 3/4" pipe. Either black or galvanized will work, but black is half as expensive. Screw a 3/4" round floor plate onto one end. This will be the tamping end. Or a 3/4"-1" FPT/FPT adaptor, 1" close nipple and 1" round floor plate. Take a 3/4" coupling and screw it onto the other end. The cut-off end of your tool will fit nicely into the open end of the 3/" coupling, it's a tight fit, but it will pond itself in. This tool will all last for about 2 hours before one of the steel pipe parts breaks, but so what? It's all pretty cheap, and the cut-off tool part will last forever. I used this to tamp soil back under a sidewalk I had excavated under. Worked well. I also took a piece of hard steel, 3-1/2" x 8" x 3/16" and bolted it to a 3/4" floor plate. That worked even better.

The "O" ring section that fit on the barrel will have some movement but if you lock in the butt of the knife to the underside of the front sight it will not come off when stabbing or during usage!

Hello well this pull up bar has a nice coat of paint but there's 2 bolts that holds the bar and they only come with a nylon Nut but there's no o ring seal or something like that, eventually water will get inside the 2 main supports and that will be the end, try to contact the manufacturer maybe they have something that might work for you. Good luck

I think you have to provide your own threaded barb fitting. Y ouc ould choose the outlet diameter at that time. Get high temp silicone hose. I can tell you that the o ring seals are crap. I took mine up to the homebrew shop and bought replacements. Once you can get it to stop leaking, it makes a good hot liquor tank.

Yes! You just disconnect the hose leading to the barrel and then use the provided stopper to plug up the same nozzle leading from the diverter. (The principle on which it works is that, with nowhere to go, the water just builds up inside the diverter and drains as it would normally) You don't need to removed the diverter itself. I like this diverter. So far it's been maintenance free and works VERY effectively. My two rain barrels fill up very quickly and when full, the rain pours down the normal downspout. I would fully recommend this diverter. Make sure you follow the instructions and don't cut out too much of a gap when installing!

THE rain bird has a 1/2 in taper pipe thread, if it goes all the way down and hits bottom it will not seal so try a hose washer in the Orbit spike base, I hope the base is not cracked and as you tighten the head it opens up.

Yes. The extension tube will not reach the end of the barrel and where it does end the clamp will attach to the barrel.

For rain barrel use try the IL200K. They are designed for that purpose.Best regards.Rich TravisanoiMairne Inc

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.

I am not familiar with all the brands and configurations of rain barrels. On a basic level, this spigot goes through a hole in the barrel, so if you have a predrilled hole you need to be sure it is smaller than the diameter of this spigot or it will leak. In terms of linking barrels, we have joined two as noted in my review and it works well. Don't know if this helps you or not.

We used a drain pipe for awhile but cut it off above the hole. So I would say yes, unless you are thinking of putting it inside. Now I bought rain chains for my barrels, a much prettier and nicer sound when it rains. The top makes a nice container for a water lily if you add a little soil.

The quick and easy answer is NO. Although you could back bore the barrel and thread it 22x.75 so it will. The tools to do it with cost more than the Stevens shotgun, so you have to really want to do it to justify the cost and effort. BTW, back boring a barrel to reduce t\it's outside diameter is not a job for a beginner.

yes, but don't place it more than a few (2 or 3 in) above the rain barrel. make sure to put an overflow outlet in the final rain barrel or if connecting them in series.(0-0-0- the 0 = barrels and the - = connectors or outlet/overflow)
