Sturdily designed and durable through all seasons. A practical and simple way to connect two rain barrels. Review: These are high quality and work beautifully. - I have 3 rain barrels I wanted to daisy chain together; two of which were barrels whose tops did not open save for a small hole. The original taller barrel is fed by a diverter on the house downspout with a hose to the barrel. The diverter redirects to the downspout once the barrels are full. I could not find anything locally at the hardware store that would work to daisy chain the two new barrels to the original one but these fit the bill perfectly. After viewing several YouTube videos on how to install these in closed barrels, They went in without a hitch. Couples with the RAINPAL RBS050 Brass Rain Barrel DIY Spigot(Unibody Design) spigot (not visible in the photo), we have about 150 gallon capacity. There was a spigot on the taller of the barrels already however we added the RAINPAL one on one of the closed barrels to which I will attach drip hose and a solar powered timer from Bluebarrelsystems. ## Features - NOT Lead Free Compliant, Designed for Irrigation with Rain Barrel, NOT for Potable Water - Brass Bulkhead Fitting Need 27mm or 1-1/16 to 1-1/8 inch hole to install, fit up to 10mm thickness wall - Overall Length of Hose is 9 inches. - Content: Two Brass Bulkhead Tank Fitting(3/4" GH Male and 1/2" Female Pipe Threaded), One 3/4" Hose(with 2 Female Garden Hose Connector) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B012PYNI6G | | Best Sellers Rank | #133,032 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #1,347 in Garden Hose Parts & Connectors | | Brand | RAINPAL | | Color | Brass | | Connector Type | Quick-Connect | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (917) | | Exterior Finish | Brass | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 10.8 ounces | | Item model number | RBL020 | | Manufacturer | RAINPAL | | Material | Brass | | Number of Pieces | 3 | | Package Dimensions | 11.57 x 7.01 x 1.34 inches | | Size | RBL020 | | Thread Size | 3/4 inch | | Thread Type | NPT | | UPC | 681441045548 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** RAINPAL - **Color:** Brass - **Connector Type:** Quick-Connect - **Exterior Finish:** Brass - **Item Weight:** 0.31 Kilograms - **Material:** Brass - **Number of Pieces:** 3 - **Size:** RBL020 - **Thread Size:** 3/4 inch - **Thread Type:** NPT ## Images ![RBL020 Rain Barrel Linking Kit (Two Brass Bulkhead Fitting and One 8 inch 3/4" I.D. hose) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QS9KRmncL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do you install this on a barrel that doesn't have an open top?** A: I took a piece of strong string about 4 or5 feet long and tied a metal nut to eachvend. Drop one end of the string with nut through a small opening at the top of the barrel. Roll or tilt barrelwhile fishing the nut through the opening where you want the fitting. Then secure the end of the string with your foot. Pull the other end of string and thread the fitting ocer the other end of the string. Pull string tight and let the fitting slid to the hole. Slip your finger on the hole and into center of fitting and pull it into the hole. Thread nut through outside piece of fitting. Put your finher through both pieces of fitting.pull inside piece snug against barrel while screwing outside piece snug. Make sure the rubber gasket is on the inside of the bsrrel. Its also a good idea to make sure your fitting fits well in the hole you drill from the outside before you try to do this from the inside. **Q: Is it safe for vegetable garden since it is not lead-safe compliant?** A: No, they're not. I'm looking for the LF- and potable-water-compliant kit for my vegetable garden, too. I believe that both the hose and fittings are not quite safe. Most garden hoses have warnings now. I'd use this on flowers, but not edibles. They don't have to put the CA Prop 65 notice on lead-free/potable-water-safe products. **Q: Not lead free? Is this ok to water my tomatoes with?** A: If you’re concerned about an extremely small amount of lead that might possibly be getting into your rainwater over the other contaminants in the water from the roof, air, etc. then maybe you shouldn’t have a rain barrel to begin with. I see no problem using this product. **Q: Is the part that is inside the barrel threaded so I could attache a piece of pipe on the inside of the barrel???** A: Yes. It's 1/2 inch straight pipe thread.Thanks ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Reliably Rainpal Product *by E***I on July 17, 2025* Another quality product from Rainpal.

PRO: Well made fittings with o rings. They seal well in 32 gal trash cans or blue 50 gal barrels. I believe the hose diameter is 3/4 inch which is as wide as you get with a standard hose fitting. The inside diameter if the fittings are also large for maximum flow. CON: They have lead. That means no use with rain collection for potable water or watering of crops. Also consider that if you run a string of interconnected barrels one inch hoses water flow between the barrels will be limited. I have found that with a slow rain or a long rain all four barrels fill fine but with short hard rains filling can be reduced. If it is a problem I suggest using 2 of these interconnects which can make the collection system cost more than the water it saves. I found a way to make connectors of almost any inside diameter for a fraction of this cost and without lead. I used 1 1/4 ID fittings which will give about five times the flow and cost about $6 each. The fittings are available at any local hardware store. I use 2 each of male and female PVC adapters for each end and the appropriate length of PVc water pipe. You will need to get 2 suitable sized "o" rings, one for each end. You will also need PVC cement (2 part). Google it. ## Frequently Bought Together - RAINPAL RBL020 Rain Barrel Linking Kit (Two Brass Bulkhead Fitting and One 8 inch 3/4" I.D. hose) - RAINPAL RBS005 Brass Water Container/Rain Barrel Quarter Turn Spigot(LF Compliant, For OPEN TOP BARRELS) - RAINPAL RBL022P Premium Rain Barrel Linking Kit(Two Brass Bulkhead Fittings and One 2 FT 3/4" I.D.
