PLEASE NOTE: The Large Half Round Installation Kit will not fit all gutters; please measure first. This product is designed to be used with large or extra large cup style rain chains. A Link Chain Reducer can be used to help direct water onto the rain chain. Water will miss the rain chain if the cups are smaller than the Large Half Round Installation Kit opening.
INSTALLATION TIP: silicone caulk is recommended to seal the kit to the gutter and prevent leakage.

Curved Top | 5 1/2 x 8" |

Measuring For Your Rain Chain Installation Kit
Rain Chain Resource Center
This is the ideal accessory to make your rain chain installation easy and work perfectly with your large half-round gutters! Designed for oversized 5" and 6" half round gutter applications. This kit may not be compatible with custom-fabricated gutters, as unique dimensions and configurations may affect proper installation. Please review all measurements first.
How Installation Kits Work:
This reducer drops into a 3 1/8" gutter hole. The curvature of the kit can be adjusted slightly by hand to get the right fit. Your rain chain hangs from the bolt or D-Clip at the bottom. Both are perfectly secure attachment methods. The water is directed downward onto the rain chain for maximum water flow efficiency! Made of pure, thick copper, raw aluminum, or powder-coated aluminum. The D-clips are made of stainless steel for added strength and durability. This product replaces the V-hook that normally comes with our rain chains.
Type: Rain Chain Accessories
Some gutters have a hole only, no flange, spout or outlet tube. Water tends to swirl out of a hole like that, missing the rain chain. Water also sticks to the underside of the gutter, dripping off up to several feet away. Some gutters have an opening that is larger than the rain chains link or cup. In this case, a lot of water will miss the chain at the top. The Installation Kit directs the water onto (or into) the chain, helping it to function with maximum efficiency. Easy to remove. Hanging the chain from the bolt or D-clip at the bottom of the kit allows for easy removal and installation, and is a more secure method of attachment. The D-clips are made of stainless steel for added strength and durability.
The Installation Kit looks great, too!
Previously, I was using a small diameter and it would clog up sometimes. It depends on how many leaves you get in your gutters. Switching to the large diameter was better because the leaves will just go through. Did not exactly fit my half round gutters. A little bit of bending and utilizing tinsnips made it fit perfectly. Excellent service from the company. I did not need an adapter. In light or moderate rain most of the water finds its way onto the chain.
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that the large diameter was a better fit for your gutters and that you were able to make it work with a little handywork. We strive to provide excellent service and we're happy to hear that you didn't need an adapter. Happy rain chain-ing!
Nice Materials
