The 180 degree pivot head allows for installation at any angle to ensure an effortless
connection from the rainhead to the pipe feeding rainwater into the tank.
180°

IDEAL LOCATION

Rainheads should be installed underneath each downpipe that supplies rainwater to a tank.

ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION

• Standard plumbing pipes in 110mm, 80mm or 75mm (quantity and lengths will depend on installation)
• Pipe holder bat of the correct size for your pipe and anchor screws for the rainhead
• PVC weld glue
• A drill and tools to mount the rainhead to the wall

INSTALLATION

01
Important:
Remove the adapter supplied loose inside the rainhead and fit
All components are to be test-fitted before being glued with
the plastic screen onto the rainhead body.
PVC weld glue. For a secure fit, it is advised to use sand
paper on all interconnecting sections before applying glue.
02
Determine the correct height for the rainhead (1). 
USING A 110MM PIPE
Note: it should be at a sufficient height for the water to flow into
the tank while allowing for at least a 40mm to 80mm gap from
the bottom of your gutter downpipe (A) to the screen of the
rainhead. This gap ensures easy access for cleaning and removal
of the screen when required, and prevents debris build-up
inside the downpipe.

03
Remove your existing gutter downpipe below the height
determined as part of step one, and mount the rainhead (1)
to the wall using anchor screws.

04
Cut the desired length of pipe to feed water into the tank from
the bottom of the rainhead (B).

05
USING A 80MM OR 75MM PIPE
If you are using a 80mm or 75mm plumbing pipe you will need
to fit the supplied adapter (2) to the bottom of the rainhead
(1). To ensure it is properly fitted, push the adapter as far as
possible into the rainhead until there is resistance when trying
to pull it out again. 

Note: the smaller end should be facing down.

06
If you are using a 110mm pipe you will not need the adapter.

07
For a secure fit, it is advised to use sand paper on all
interconnecting sections before applying glue. Once you are
satisfied with the test-fitted position and setup, ensure all
components are clean and glue in place with PVC weld glue.

GUTTER & MID-MOUNT

INSTALLATION

1. Gutter: Measure 208mm from the bottom of the existing gutter

pop and remove this section of downpipe. Ensure the cut edge is
clean and smooth. Mid-Mount: Remove 208mm of dowpipe where
the Leaf Eater Advanced™ is to be situated. Ensure cute edges are
clean and smooth (figure 1).
2. Using the quick release tabs remove the Cleanshield™ screen
by lifting it up and then out (figure 2).
3. Insert the Leaf Eater Advanced™ by sliding it up over the cut
section and then down into position. The Leaf Eater Advanced™
outlet should be slid firmly onto the bottom down pipe until it
can be pushed no further (figure 3).
4. Screw the Leaf Eater Advanced™ into position through the
screw slots provided. Ensure appropriate screws and anchors
(if required) are used (figure 5).
5. Insert the Cleanshield™ into the Leaf Eater Advanced™. Ensure the
Cleanshield™ screen is sitting firmly in place and check installation
that the installation is secure (figure 6).

HORIZONTAL
(REAR OUTLET INSTALLATION)

1. Using the quick release tabs remove the Cleanshield™ screen

by lifting it up and out (figure2).
2. Swivel the outlet to the horizontal position - some force may
be required.
3. Position the Leaf Eater Advanced™ next to existing pipework,
mark and cut top and bottom cut lines (as per figure 4). Ensure
the cut edge is clean and smooth.
4. Insert the Leaf Eater Advanced™ by sliding the rear outlet into the
horizontal pipe. The back fixing pipe must sit behind the top
section of downpipe (figure 3).
5. Screw the Leaf Eater Advanced™ into position through the screw
slots provided. Ensure appropriate screws and anchors (if required)
are used (figure 5).
6. Insert the Cleanshield™ screan into te Leaf Eater Advanced™
Screen. Ensure the Cleanshield™ screen is sitting firmly in place and
check installation is secure (figure 6).
