·        Brass Spigot A garden hose can be attached to the brass spigot.  The spigots are attached with brass fittings and rubber washers to prevent leaking and rusting.  

·        Adapter for Flexible Hose Attachment  Our barrels feature a 3x4x4 PVC removable hose adapter.  This adapter is used to attach the flexible hose, which is required to connect the downspout to the barrel. 

·        Screened Inlet  The screened inlet prevents roof debris from entering the rain barrel.  The screen is inserted in the flexible hose adapter and can be easily removed for cleaning.

·        Overflow Holes  We have installed 1" overflow holes on the right and left sides of the rain barrel to allow excess water to drain.  Each hole is fitted with an adapter and comes with one plug.  When you determine which side you want the overflow rainwater to escape, you plug the opposite side.  The 1" overflow adapters can also be used to attach another rain barrel; attachment hoses are available through our website.  The overflow adapters can also be used to divert water from the barrel back into the downspout or to an underground drain pipe. Click here to see a rain barrel which utilizes the overflow adapters with our RBIG Automatic Overflow Diverter.
