Review: Well made and sturdy, many uses! - While the description said this was for a rain barrel, it was also the perfect fit for my needs. I have a dehumidifier that is set up for continuous use with a drain hose. Luckily for me, the place where I wanted to put it had a sink previously. We used the old sink drain to feed the hose into, but I wanted something a bit more permanent. I used an ABS cap and drilled a hole through it to insert this fitting. I attached the fitting to the cap, and glues the cap on the drain. Now we have an airtight leak proof connection that cant be accidentally pulled out of the drain.
Review: Bigger than the original hole… but that’s an easy fix. - Far, FAR sturdier than the little plastic nub they replaced, this little pass-through will probably outlast the barrels I installed them in. Getting them into the barrels was a little fiddly (Yes, I got my dumb 6’ tall, broad shouldered butt stuck in a rain barrel and couldn’t get out for five minutes. No, there’s no video of that, thank goodness. I think I got away with no one noticing.) but once I got them in they’re exactly what the doctor ordered. Two installation notes: - they are bigger than the standard pre-drilled hole in the rain barrel. I had to widen it. - if you need to adjust the alignment of the tank fitting after you’ve tightened it down, you may need to loosen it first to preserve the washer. I connected a y-splitter to the outside, and needed to rotate it in order to get the orientation I wanted; twisting it without loosening it first deformed the washer and broke the seal. It worked fine after reinstalling.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to use this with a whiskey barrel which is almost 1" thick.  Will this fitting accomodate a barrel that thick?**
A: Hi, Thanks for your interest. Without using the male garden hose threads, it can fit up to 20mm thickness wall. about 4/5 inch.Thanks

**Q: Will this freeZe and break in the winter?**
A: I drain all water from my 5 barrels and stand them upside down outside, in fall to spring, but drain and put away all hoses in the basement , otherwise parts will freeze and burst . the brass fittings stay on the barrels.

**Q: Not clear on quanity. Do you receive two as a quanity of one?**
A: Yes. When you buy this, it comes with two. So if you purchase 1 quantity you get recieve 2 fittings

**Q: Anyone know where to get a LF connector kit?**
A: Look for "RAINPAL RBD020 Rain Barrel or Bucket Brass Drain/Flush Port Kit(Lead Free Compliant)" and build your hoses,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by F***N on December 11, 2018*

This is an extra good product. I chose the metal version of this product because the interior diameter is larger than that of its plastic versions out there. The actual outside diameter of the nipple was 1-1/32". Because I wanted a near snug fit, I drilled a 1" hole with a paddle bit, and then filed the rest until I could slide the nipple in without any resistance. I only had to file 1/64" of the material all around the hole (1-1/32" nipple - 1" hole) / 2 = 1/64 material to file all around hole. Only took me a minute or two with a good small metal file (not to be confused with jewler's file). The rubber "O" ring gasket sets so close to the out side diameter of the nipple, that I did not want to risk having the gasket riding the edge of the hole. I like my gaskets setting on a flat surface, for maximum sealing area. The directions say you can drill a 1-1/16" to 1-1/8" hole, but I wouldn't go any larger than a 1-1/16" hole.
