Linking Hose

Used for attaching multiple rain barrels together with the linking fitting toward the bottom end of the barrel directly below the overflow fitting.

This allows you to modify only one downspout from the roof in any given location around the home or building and have increased storage capacity.

The barrel taking the water from the roof then shares with the rest of the barrels that are linked together with the linking hose. All barrels fill equally and then empty equally.

Some increase in pressure will be realized. However, the main advantage is increased capacity.

For rain barrels (2025 or earlier) with an additional linking fitting - standard Linking Hose:

Simply remove the cap from the two linking fittings, thread the linking hose to the two linking fittings and the barrels are now joined. No tools required.

For rain barrels (2026 onwards) without an additional linking fitting - Linking hose with Y-valve:

Thread the linking hose to the single-valve fitting at the bottom, and the barrels are now joined. No tools required.
