The Lindab Manual Rainwater Diverter is designed for homeowners and gardeners looking to harvest sustainable rainwater for outdoor irrigation. It provides the key benefit of an easy-to-use, integrated solution for routing runoff from 87mm downpipes into a water butt or storage tank. While this diverter is highly effective and durable, users should note that it requires manual operation to switch the flow of water between the downpipe and the storage container.

The product features a fold-out shoe design intended to divert water into a collection container; you may need an additional hose or funnel depending on your specific water butt setup.
The Anthracite Metallic coating is factory-applied for maximum durability and corrosion resistance; painting is generally not recommended as it may affect the finish and fit.
No, this specific model is designed exclusively for 87mm diameter downpipes.
It is made from high-quality steel that is part of the Lindab Rainline system.
You do not need to remove the unit, but you should ensure the shoe is in the closed position to prevent water from entering your storage tank during freezing temperatures.
Clean the hinge mechanism of any grit or debris, and check that the diverter is properly aligned on the downpipe.
Ensure the diverter is fully pushed into the downpipe ends; if a gap persists, check that the pipe ends are cut straight and are not deformed.
Installation of the Lindab diverter is a straightforward process thanks to its push-fit design. Simply cut the existing 87mm downpipe at the desired height, slide the diverter into place, and secure the connections. No silicone sealant is necessary due to the precision of the steel components.
Regarding compatibility, this unit is designed exclusively for the Lindab Rainline 87mm steel system. While it may fit other generic 87mm steel pipes, it is optimized for the Lindab product line. For maintenance, it is recommended to periodically wipe down the exterior with a soft cloth to maintain its appearance. At the start of each season, check that the fold-out mechanism moves freely and clear any leaves or debris that may have collected inside the shoe to ensure optimal flow.
