The components are built for outdoor use: brass threaded fittings for durable threaded connections and flexible rubber hose that resists cold and corrosion. Note: the fittings and hose are intended for rainwater systems only and are not certified for potable water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this kit expand my rainwater collection system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy connecting two barrels with the included hoses and bulkhead fittings you let water flow between containers, creating a larger shared reservoir and reducing overflow. The threaded brass bulkheads create secure pass-throughs in the barrel walls so water can move freely without leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse two 3\/4\" GHT x 1\/2\" NPT threaded bulkhead fittings per barrel for through-wall connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo 3\/4\" hoses with female garden hose connectors link fittings and allow quick connection\/disconnection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA 14-inch total hose length provides a simple bridge while keeping barrels close together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrill a 27 mm (≈1-1\/16\"–1-1\/8\") hole for each bulkhead; fits barrel walls up to 6 mm thick.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials are used and how weatherproof are they?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit pairs brass threaded bulkhead fittings with a high-quality rubber hose. Brass resists rust and offers strong threads for a durable seal; the rubber hose is flexible, cold-resistant, and built to withstand outdoor conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable brass fittings provide secure, corrosion-resistant threaded connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible rubber hose resists cold cracking and maintains shape under stress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufacturer testing is performed for consistent quality, but components are not lead-free certified.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for exterior rainwater use, not for potable or drinking water systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow hard is installation and what tools do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward for anyone comfortable drilling and sealing holes in plastic barrels.
