Product Description
We at Rain Brothers, LLC have been designing, constructing, and installing rainwater harvesting systems -- both residential- and commercial-scale -- in the Ohio Region for over eight years, and we have used virtually every rainwater downspout diverter on the market. With the diverters on the market, there are recurring problems, including:
1) Difficult installation
2) Insufficient outlet size
3) Insufficient overflow, causing diverter to back up drainage
4) Working only with the smallest downspouts (i.e., 2"x3")
Our Flex-Fit Downspout Diverter addresses these issues and offers a thoughtful, high-quality, affordable solution by being:
1) Easy to install; there is no need to cut your downspout. Simply use a 2-1/8" hole saw to drill into your downspout and the Flexi-Fit Diverter fits right in
2) Large, 1-1/4" outlet allows plenty of water to pass to your barrel/tank
3) Large overflow opening allows water to easily pass back through the downspout once your barrel/tank is full
4) Works with both 2"x3" and 3"x4" downspouts (check out specialized 3x4" downspout diverter here!). It will also fit in other size downspouts such as 2.5" square & 2.75" square, but will be a little less efficient.
*Required for installation:
-(1) 2-1/8" hole saw
-(2) 3/4" self-tapping philips screws (included)
-(1) Fill hose (1" PVC will also fit inside diverter)
-(1) Hose seal
-(1) Winter Cap (if you are in an area where temperatures get below freezing)
Installs in three easy steps:
1) Drill hole in downspout (you will need 2-1/8" hole saw for installation, which you can purchase here). For 2"x3" downspouts, drill hole in front of downspout. For 3"x4" downspouts, drill hole in the side of the downspout (3" side). Or, check out our specialized 3x4" diverter here! Ensure hole is level with inlet on barrel. For round downspouts, try our Round Downspout Diverter.
2) Insert diverter and fasten diverter to downspout with self-tap screws
3) Attach fill hose to diverter and into barrel hose seal, and start collecting rain!

Easy installation, inconspicuous
Simple to install, this diverter works well, and is very inconspicuous, compared to most others out on the market. Unknown on 20th Nov 2020

First time installer - very easy!
Installing is easy and very clean looking. I got this as part of the bigger kit install kit, and love having the tools to actually install everything.
The science is knowing how high to do it compared to the elevation of your rain barrel. The instructions are very thorough - wordy, but very clear! I use the selector valve to get this to turn the corner of my house to where my barrel is actually located. Unknown on 28th Sep 2020 -

Easiest install ever!
Installed easily on the front of a 2" x 3" downspout. Had the 2 1/8" hole saw so that was great. Used 1" PVC inserted to get rain water to the rain barrel. I put a 1" PVC cap on it when the barrel was full. Quick fix and great cost. Also quick delivery. Will definitely use Rain Bros for a winter stopper when the time comes.

Solved barrel overflow problem
It solved our overflowing barrel problem. The barrel had an overflow hose but in anything but light rain it would overwhelm the overflow and spill beside the foundation. The diverter fixed that problem. One new problem though is that in very heavy rain the diverter may be creating enough of a bottleneck that the downspout backs up and causes the eavestrough to overflow. Our downspout is 2x3. Regardless, I am very pleased with how it works. Tracey on 26th Jul 2020

Easy peasy to install
I installed the diverter in a few minutes then collected rain to fill up my 300 gallon pond that I had just cleaned out. Next, I'll put the rain barrel in place. Paul in the Willamette Valley on 22nd Jun 2020
