The Lindab Manual Diverter is an essential component for homeowners and gardeners looking to implement sustainable rainwater harvesting systems on their property. It is designed to efficiently channel water from standard 87mm downpipes into a water butt, providing a robust, rust-resistant solution for irrigation and water conservation. While it offers superior durability thanks to its high-quality steel construction, users should note that the flow is managed manually via a fold-out spout rather than an automated overflow mechanism, requiring the user to switch the diverter off once the storage tank is full.

Yes, as long as your downpipe has an 87mm diameter, this diverter is compatible regardless of the downpipe material.
It is recommended to check the unit once at the start of spring and autumn to remove any leaf litter or debris that may have collected.
Yes, the high-quality steel is designed for year-round outdoor use and will not become brittle in freezing conditions.
No, you will need to source a standard hose or connector to bridge the gap between the spout and your water storage unit.
The Anthracite Grey finish is a durable powder coating designed to withstand environmental wear, but avoid using harsh abrasive tools when cleaning.
Ensure the diverter is fully seated in the pipe and that the rivets are installed securely without gaps.
Check for grit or debris trapped in the hinge mechanism; clean with water and ensure it is not obstructed by the downpipe wall.
Verify the alignment between the spout and the water butt intake hole; ensure there is a downward pitch from the diverter to the tank.
To install the Lindab Manual Diverter, measure your downpipe height to ensure correct alignment with the height of your water butt inlet. Cut a section of the downpipe, insert the diverter, and secure it using stainless steel rivets to maintain a weather-tight seal. This component is compatible with standard 87mm downpipe systems. Care is minimal; periodically check the spout for debris such as leaves or moss that could block the flow. Since the unit is made of high-quality steel, it does not require painting or anti-corrosion treatments, though a quick rinse with water during seasonal cleaning will keep the Anthracite Grey finish looking like new.
