I have a shed with wavin sewer pipes used as downpipes from the gutters. I'm looking to install some water butts but I'm failing to source a connector/divertor.
Any ideas/links/help? Thanks.
I presume replacing the sewer pipes with standard downpipes is a step too far?
This web site has a number of inexpensive options that may be suitable.
Any of the diverters I've see on the market are made for regular downpipes up to 100mm. I might be possible to DIY one of those within a coupler to make a solution a little more aesthetically pleasing than using reducers.
I've no problem with a home made solution Leo; once I know what I'm doing.
Andrew's link gives me hope that there's a ready made solution out there.
That looks promising. More options out there than I thought initially.The site above only seems to have options for pipes up to 110mm, but this one might work on larger pipes, just perhaps capturing a smaller percentage of the water.
Just for info, why did you use 100mm pipes as downpipes and where is the water going to?
Re. the diameter of the pipe; I must check it,
