- Material and durability: stainless steel gutter adapter for rain chains; waterproof and rust resistant for long lasting performance in all weather. - Primary function: efficiently directs water from the gutter into the rain chain, helps prevent leaks, and ensures effective water flow even in heavy rainfall. - Design feature: 2.75 inch offset to channel water to drainage areas that are not directly under the gutter. - Compatibility and fit: requires a gutter hole at least 2.25 inches wide. Install by placing the rectangular bracket over the gutter hole, then drive the adapter through the hole. A U shaped bracket at the bottom provides a secure point to hang the rain chain. - Easy installation overview: 1) place rectangular bracket over the gutter hole (hole must be at least 2.25 in wide), 2) insert the adapter through the hole, 3) hang the rain chain from the bottom U bracket. - Use scenarios: - Standard residential roof with a rain chain where you want water redirected from the gutter into the chain and away from the wall. - Gutter above a walkway or entry where direct drainage is not beneath the gutter; the 2.75 in offset guides water to a suitable drainage spot. - Gutter near the foundation or planter beds, directing runoff to a designated drainage area to minimize erosion or moisture exposure near the base.
