Stanwood Rain Chain Copper Gutter Adaptor for Rain Chain Installation

This works great for my application. I had trimmed the down spout and folded in the edges but the water wasn’t taking to it because the edges are not smooth like a funnel. This reall collects the water well. However I think it won’t handle a really heavy rainfall. I tested with a garden hose and it wasn’t keeping up super well without splashing all over. My only gripe and it’s not a bad mark on the project... but I bent the lower hook wire to hook on my chain and i can’t get it bent back. This is more my issue not having the tool I need to get in there to bend it. I’ll figure it out but for now things are fine. Only think I’m sad about is this is real copper (or so they say) and as it weathers my chain won’t because it’s painted rather than actual copper. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Very happy with this adaptor for my new Rain Chain. We used the gutter mount that came with the rain chain, itself, to attach the adaptor to the outlet from the gutter, by straightening it out from the triangle shape it came in (the mount from the rain chain) and running it through the two screw holes left when we removed the existing downspout, through the upper link of the adaptor and then bent the ends of our mount wire to secure them in the opening from the gutter. It directs the water into the lotus cups of our rain chain very nicely. When there is a huge downpour, naturally some of the water gushes, but it certainly would be gushing if not for this adaptor. Recommended.

I bought two of these a couple of weeks ago to go along with regular link copper chains. After a couple of hours of frustration with the first one, I got rid of the top hanging wire and replaced it with a wire that could be better secured in the holes. The problem with the original wire is that it's not strong enough to hold a heavy chain without popping out of the holes. Anyway, the adaptors look good, and now seem to work OK, although we haven't had any rain at all around here since I installed them.

This funnel directs water from your gutter spout to a rainchain. I found this to be a necessary addition because water runs down the rim of my downspout and completely misses the rainchain bolted in the center. This funnel collects the water falling out of my downspout and redirects it to my "infinity" rainchain. Works perfectly. Its top diameter is significantly larger than my downspout and the neck is much smaller. Installation is easy since I simply threaded my chain through it. (The funnel hangs on my rainchain, not the spout). Now water actually runs down my chain in the ideal manner (rainchains are temperamental). It is well made and more than sturdy enough. I'm happy to have this as part of my rainchain.

I just bought some bulk decorative swag lamp chain from another site on Amazon and folded a 16 foot piece in half and attached it to this to make my own rain chains. Instead of $50--to however much your are willing to pay, I'm making my own now and they look great. The whole deal came home for under $20, and I'm just getting started. Look at the section on rain chains and see if I'm not right. They are real easy to attach right under an eave of your house, gutter or no gutter. I strung a piece of finer chrome chain across the fascia boards with some 2" deck screws with washers under them to span that 90 degree angle right under the valley, and used a 2"- 'S' hook to make the hanger. This is just my mock-up. It looks great but more ideas will occur to me in the fullness of time.

I followed the directions but water poured out of the holes where the handle attached at the top and out the bottom where the chain attached to the loop. The rest of the water just poured out around the rim at the bottom of the cone. Virtually none of the water made it down the chain. I ended up getting a different adapter and using 2 of these as "cups" along my rain chain to catch some minor splatter. I ran the chain down through the cone and replaced the handle and loop with threaded bolts.

Needed this to collect runoff for the fish rain chain, but the diameter of the top side is a bit small (my situation has no gutter or downspout). Finally replaced it with an extra funnel piece from the flower chain which has about a 1 -inch greater diameter opening at the top. Manufacturers of all these rain chains should provide the diameter of the top receiving piece.

My first experience with rain chains. Water does not just come out of the connector in the gutter perfectly on to the chain without this. Otherwise it is splashing all over the place making a mess. Using this item to funnel the water onto the chain works perfectly.
