RBL022P Premium Rain Barrel Linking Kit(Two Brass Bulkhead Fittings and One 2 FT 3/4" I.D. Hose)

The hose was easy to install, it is a very good value for the quality of materials. If your barrels are side by side, the length is perfect. It looks nice and durable. Needs a 1" hole on both ends to install.

Most excellent quality. I mean, really, REALLY good quality. I'm new to rain barrel collecting by necessity -- too-heavy Florida downpours were over-topping one corner of my gutters and WRECKING the soffits. I watched YouTube videos and bought the supplies in the links. This product wasn't one of the YT suggestions, but an AMZN suggestion, and it's much better quality than the other stuff I bought. (The RainPal Spigot is also VERY good quality -- much better than the plastic ones.) What I didn't realize is how MANY barrels I would need because of how fast they fill in a downpour. Once I figured out to connect the TOP of the first one to the bottom of the next, and so-on down the line, these hoses worked PERFECTLY. (I left the not-so-great-plastic spigot fitting in the bottom when I had to cut a new hole in the top... and then connected the EXCELLENT RainPal Spigot to the end of the line... in case you were paying attention.)

This worked great for joining two rain barrels together, turning one into an overflow barrel for the other. The kit was easy to install, fit perfectly, and doesn't leak. What more could you ask for?

The price is very competitive, the hose is an above average grade but not at the higer grade end. The hose, as other reviewers describes, was packed into a box with 2-Kinks at either end. The INSTRUCTIONS describe that the hose should be straightened and left in the sun allowing to heat up, yhen it recovers its normal roundish profile. I included a phito so you could see what it “recovered” to after 1-day taped to a flat stick and left in the sun on a warm 80+ day on top of the (off) air conditioner. It seems to have “recovered” the same shape as the unkinked part of the hose. The gaskets at each end and the ?brass? Fittings appear of substantial strength & quality (haven’t adequately tested this for sufficient time to comment on its leak proofing) … may add more later. I did not use the Bungs, although they appear well made. I used NORWESCO bungs because I have substantial use experience with that brand/type ,,, they work without exception, no matter how large the containment! Added 1-week later: NO LEAKS … the hose performs perfectly, no drips at all with mild tightening … andd NO KINKS.

I bought this to connect our rain barrell to the diverter - seems very sturdy - was hooked up quickly and the valves seem very good quality. Rain barrell is full and all seems to be working great.

NASA is looking for this guy! To make the water system on the moon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unbelievable but true, the product is very good, great material, easy to use, good quality overall, yes I will recommend it.

Very sturdy and works like it’s supposed to. It is short though and the barrels have to be close together which is a little problematic when they are full and the weight makes them shift. Next time I will buy one a foot longer.

Part really works great! Excellent and simple instructions! Fantastic purchase!

Product was used as intended to link 2 rain barrels .

It appears to be of really good quality and the fittings are truly well made.

So I linked a couple of rain barrels with this hose.Would have given 5 stars but the kink was bothersome but small clamp on the hose even a plastic clothes pin will work.I drilled the holes at the same height on the barrels and just positioned one to sit lower on the ground.Instructions call for a 1 and 1/16 drill hole.I could find no such bit. I used a 1 inch bit and with it being a hot sunny day I just threaded the fitting into the rain barrel worked great no leaks.

With the proper size hole drilled into the barrel inserting the hose connectors was simple and quick.

Exactly what I need and fits perfectly
