Hose Connector attachment for Rain Barrel Downspout Diverter

thingiverse

This is an adapter that will plug into "Rain Barrel Downspout Diverter (Customizable)" by varnerrants. I had an usused washing machine hose that I wanted to use with the diverter. It has female garden hose thread (GHT) on each end, and I didn't want to chop it in half. This will let me connect it, or any other hose that has a standard US GHT. It fits perfectly into my diverter that I printed for 2x3 (2.25" x 3.5") size downspout. It's reasonable snug, but you might want to secure it better with some silicone caulk, JB Weld, Gorilla Glue or whatever works for you. As it is, you will only be able to use one adapter at a time. To connect a second hose using the diverters internal barbs, you might need to file flat a little bit of the knurled center section of the adapter. I only use one hose, & just plug up the second outlet.
