Can I install the iBox which is 3/4" onto a 1/2" pipe with a reducer? Will it have enough pressure to run a 12" rainshower or a 3" showerhead?

In short, yes! We installed the iBox in two of our showers and they both run well with 6" dam. rain heads. Most showers heads have water saver limiters to limit the flow anyway, so you won't running any more than 2-5 gal./min. In addition, most household copper pipe plumbing runs ½" pipe to fixtures, so no worries using the reducers.

Yes to the reducer. And I believe pressure is different in every household so need to check up on that first. I live in condo with no problems on a 10" Hg rain. This is one of the best things I ever purchased.

Yes you can. I am running two shower heads at the same time off of one 1/2 inch line.

I would think that would be no problem. The fitting can probably be replaced or you could use an adapter to reduce to the 1/4" line. It is just plumbing.

This is a very important issue. Yes, it's a 3/4" pipe thread at the inlet, but inside, the outlet opening is restricted down to about 9/32". So, you lose about 2/3 of your flow. I was redoing my long drip irrigation lines where I needed to maximize the flow. I returned mine and bought a bunch (14) at a big box store (blue/gray colors), which had much less restriction. In my opinion, it's more a volume issue and not so much a pressure issue, as the higher restriction increases the pressure, but lowers the volume. Now I get the flow I need. These are, however, nice little, well-made valves and I'd use them on an application where I didn't need that much volume. This is a very important issue.

Yes, in fact it's designed for a 4" spout, w/adapters for a 3". I found a little waterproof sealant (designed for gutter work) to be helpful where the downspout meets the diverter; they are dissimilar materials after all, & depending on how straight your cut in the spout is, could be a source of leakage.

No, it is actually simple. Just unthread your old one and thread the Siroflex on the same pipe. Don't over tighten, being plastic it could crack. You will see a screen on the one end you can either leave it on or take it off. I took mine off to get a larger flow. And yes this shower head really improves the pressure.

To clarify, if you are REPLACING the shower head, you don't need the iBox. If this is a new shower, you will need a rough in with valve & trim.The rough in & valve does not have to be Hansgrohe, but I use them for quality & warranty.

Mine was 3/4" for both sides. Don't know why it would be different unless you needed a reducer.

I don't know the answer offhand, but there should be a design calculator on Rainbird's website. I know that I can run 3 of them on one 3/4 inch line on city water. Don't know the water pressure, though

I measured it , it is 3/4 inch o d . You will need a reducer . Which is very cheap. I hope this helped.

You will need the valve kit and the exhaust kit. The pipe for the gas should be 3/4". you will not run well with the 1/2" gas pipe typical in most homes for the water heater.

iBox should be sufficient. The upper (smaller) control acts as ON/OFF + volume control. When in the center (like shown in the picture) its OFF. You can turn it to either side to turn ON and control volume for two different water outlets (like a shower head and a hand held shower). Hope that helps!

It is standard 3/9 pipe thread. It would most likely work with an adapter but it would make it a little cumbersome. I attached mine with a open/close valve incorporated with my shower head. Works fine.

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.

3/4 hose connection but the outlet i.d. of the box is smaller. Water pressure is OK though.

Yes and no. Anything's possible with plumbing fittings, but the unit is designed (and I assume pressurized) for that head, plus it fits the holder. You can make a larger head irk, but it would be clunky. The hand-held head actually provides a lot of pressure even though it looks like an afterthought.

I wish I could answer your question. So far, I have tried every search, been to Lowe's and Ace (They usually have every answer) and so far I am coming up with nothing. I bought the Blue Source at the C-co and didn't realize I had a 3" valve and that the unit wouldn't fit until halfway through the install. I'm not giving up yet though.

These pumps usually have 3/4 pipe fittings. Don't see why you couldn't use a reducer. We circulate water from a wood burning furnace,constant even temp. Hope this helps, good luck
