The Lindab Steel Adjustable Diverter is ideal for homeowners and gardeners looking to sustainably harvest rainwater from 75mm downpipe systems into water butts or storage tanks. This high-quality component provides the primary benefit of easy water flow management through a manual fold-out spout, though users should note it requires manual adjustment and does not feature an automatic overflow bypass mechanism.

This unit is specifically designed for 75mm metal downpipe systems and may not provide a secure, watertight fit with standard plastic piping.
No, this model uses a manual fold-out spout. You must manually close the spout once your water container is full to prevent overflowing.
You will need a hacksaw or metal pipe cutter to resize your downpipe, a file to smooth the edges, and a screwdriver if securing with brackets.
While the factory-applied HB polyester finish is highly durable, you can paint over it if necessary using a high-quality metal primer and exterior paint.
It is recommended to inspect the diverter before the rainy season and during autumn to ensure leaves or debris are not blocking the inlet.
Check for debris or grit trapped in the hinge mechanism and clear it using a soft brush or water spray.
Ensure the diverter is fully seated within the downpipe segments and that the pipe ends are cut square.
Clean the affected area and touch up the finish with appropriate exterior-grade metal paint matching the Anthracite Grey color.
Installation requires cutting a section of your existing 75mm downpipe to insert the unit. Ensure the cut is clean and level to maintain a secure fit. For optimal care, inspect the spout mechanism seasonally to ensure it moves freely and is not obstructed by leaves or organic debris. The galvanized steel is naturally resistant to the elements, but a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth during annual maintenance will keep the Anthracite Grey finish looking like new for years.
