Vent Cowls Installation Steps
- Your Vent Cowl has a female socket, so it requires a male pipe or flanged fitting for installation.
- Use a holesaw to cut an appropriate sized hole in your rainwater tank to fit your pipe or flanged fitting.
- If installing your Vent Cowl with a pipe, insert the pipe into the hole you’ve cut and glue it in place with an appropriate sealant.
- If installing your Vent Cowl with a flanged fitting, place silicone on the underside of the flange, press it down onto the tank over your cut hole, and screw the flange to the tank surface.
- Install your Vent Cowl by placing it over the male pipe or flanged fitting and glue it in place using solvent weld glue.

A common misconception about collecting rainwater is that all you need is a
roof, a tank and some rain. This ‘tanking’ approach cannot always be relied on
to deliver the volume – or quality – of water that you require. That is where
we can help.
With some thought, your rain harvesting system can provide you with cleaner
water and lots of it. Whether you’re completely reliant on tank water or
wanting to keep the garden green, our simple steps will help you achieve your
goal.
The Rain Harvesting approach to rainwater collection involves using tested and
proven products to make quality rainwater available for use in and around your
property. You don’t need much to get started and you will be surprised how
easy it is to get the most out of your rainwater system.
