What fittings are included in a DIY kit?

We put together the most complete set of PVC and garden hose fittings/ adapters in order to allow easy hookup to a supply line (i.e. downspout diverter or greywater system – ideally 1″ barbed fitting but also garden hose), to a garden hose (includes shut-off valve), and to an overflow fitting or line (2″ PVC or 1″ barbed fitting).

Also included are various lengths of U.V. resistant, food grade 1″ I.D. vinyl tubing and a full roll of teflon tape to seal fittings (in the standard RainBench® DIY kit) and more for the larger kits. Generally, all you need to buy is lumber and fasteners for most of our kits unless you just buy liners..

About the Author: sgear

Scott is a landscape designer who's philosophy has always centered around living closer to nature. Since 2000, his designs have reflected this and increasingly he has become obsessed with designing creative ways to save water in landscapes. As a designer, the focus of enhancing both form and function have led to this inevitable conclusion: something has to be done to make water conservation more attractive. That something, he believes, is integrating its storage into every possible landscape element, and that is what he and his wife Emily are doing at Second Rain.
