I have guttering on my shed which fills up a water butt using one of those downpipe diverter assemblies. When the butt is full, the water then carried on down the down pipe a couple of inches.
I am trying to find a way to connect a 68mm downpipe to a 1" ID flexible hose so that I can then take the overflow water away.
Ideally I'd like some form of reducer style piece which means I can clamp it over the downpipe and then clamp the flexible hose onto the other end (jubilee clamp style) but my Google-Fu is letting me down.
The only other alternative I can think of is to fit a small container over the downpipe which receives the overflow water and then has a hole drilled near the bottom to fit a standard 1" threaded or bulkhead style hosetail to and then connect the hose to this. When the water fills up a little of the container, it "overflows".down the hose.
I'd rather just fit a hose direct to the downpipe... It has to be 1" max and pliable as I'm going to be pushing the outlet of the hose under a fence.
It won't be a huge amount of water that's going down it
Ideas chaps?
