The Lindab Manual Rainwater Diverter is an ideal solution for homeowners and professional installers looking to harvest rainwater for garden use. Designed for the 87mm Lindab Rainline system, this diverter allows you to manually redirect runoff into storage containers, helping you save water and reduce utility costs. While the unit provides a seamless and durable metal solution for drainage, it is specifically engineered for manual operation and requires the user to flip the chute mechanism to initiate or stop water collection.

This diverter is specifically engineered for the Lindab Rainline system; while it fits 87mm pipes, it is recommended for use within the Lindab ecosystem to ensure a secure, leak-proof fit.
No, this is a diversion mechanism only. You may want to add an external leaf filter or debris screen higher up in your downpipe if you require cleaner harvested water.
It is recommended to close the diverter during winter or periods of extreme cold to prevent potential ice blockages within the chute.
The galvanised steel finish is designed to be weather-resistant on its own, but it can be painted if you wish to match a specific exterior color scheme.
A quick inspection every few months or after heavy storms is usually sufficient to ensure no debris has blocked the internal mechanism.
Check for debris or grit buildup around the hinge and clean with a damp cloth.
Ensure the downpipe sections are pushed fully into the diverter and are properly aligned.
Ensure your collection barrel is not already full and the chute is positioned correctly to allow flow.
Installation of the Lindab diverter is straightforward because it is designed to be fully compatible with the 87mm Lindab Rainline product range. The components utilize a secure push-fit system that eliminates the need for messy sealants or specialized equipment. Simply remove a section of your existing 87mm downpipe and slide the diverter into place, ensuring the joints are firm.
For maintenance, the galvanised steel is naturally long-lasting, but it should be checked periodically to ensure the fold-out chute remains free of debris like leaves or moss, which could obstruct the water flow. If the unit ever appears dirty, wipe it down with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the integrity of the galvanised finish.
