Complete the roof-to-tank path

Keep every stage serviceable

A rain head handles leaves and insects. First flush, sealed conveyance, and tank protection still do different jobs.

    1. 01

      Calculate the water arriving here

      Roof area, rainfall intensity, and the number of downspouts determine the peak flow each rain head must accept.

    2. 02

      Match the actual pipe

      Round and rectangular downspouts need different adapters. A pivoting outlet can solve tight fascia and rear-exit layouts.

    3. 03

      Design for dirty days

      Heavy leaf load and limited access favor active debris shedding, more open screen area, and an inspection after major storms.

    4. 04

      Keep treatment stages separate

      The rain head rejects leaves and pests; first flush removes roof wash-off; tank screens and overflows seal the storage vessel.
