Installation
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
- Leaf Eater Commercial
The following tools/materials may be required for installation:
TOOLS/MATERIALS YOU MAY REQUIRE
- Tape measure
- Marker pen
- Saw
- Bracket Screws
- Screwdriver or drill
GUTTER, EAVE & MID MOUNT
- Locate the position at which you will be installing your Leaf Eater Commercial rain head. Whether this is directly under your eave or midway down your downpipe, it should be a minimum of 500mm above your tank inlet and tank overflow pipe.
- Cut and bracket your bottom downpipe to the wall, being sure to offset it 30mm from the wall, if it isn’t already offset.
- Insert your Leaf Eater Commercial rain head into the pipe and mark the top and bottom flange fastening holes. Remove your rain head and prepare the necessary fastening points. Then reinsert your rain head and fasten it to the wall, ensuring it’s adequately supported by the wall structure.
- Cut your upper pipe at a similar angle to the rain head screen and allow a minimum of 50mm offset for debris clearance.
PAINTING
The Leaf Eater Commercial rain head is made from Polypropylene and can be painted to suit its surroundings if required. The recommended procedure for painting the rain head is as follows:
-
Remove the screen from the rain head body via the securing screws. Clean both the screen and the body using a gentle cleaner such as sugar soap. Afterwards, wipe both items down with a wax and grease remover using a lint-free cloth.
-
Mask off the stainless steel mesh of the screen using painter’s tape so that paint does not obstruct the water flowing through the mesh.
-
Apply an even coat of plastic primer. This will assist the paint sticking to the rain head.
-
Once the primer coat is dry, apply your desired top coat color.
Multiple top coats can be applied if required. -
Replace the screen.
Maintenance
Your rain head’s Clean ShieldTM screen is mostly self-cleaning.
However, it is prudent to periodically inspect it to check if cleaning is
necessary. If cleaning is required, it may be easier to remove the screen via
the securing screws in order to do so.
