Works as described but needs a few extras.
Alright. So I ordered this to help keep more water from around my foundation as well as having free water for my plants using a rain barrel.Lets get down to install.Tools required:-Metal hacksaw.-Hammer. (Better to use a rubber mallet)-Lubrication. I had a can of wd40 and used that for external. Internal lubrication i used petroleum jelly(not pictured).-2 flat head screw driver.-3 screws. Flat tip and aluminum preferred.-Screw driver.-Drill and drill tip for screw holes.-tape measurer-sealant for screws if desired. To ensure no water leaks and the screws hold.Install time:-1hr, only because I recently moved and my workroom is in boxes. Could probably be done in less if you have all the stuff handy.1. So I'm replacing the gutter strap so i pulled that off the top. I cut the gutter 20 inches from the top of the barrel. I removed a 6 inch section.2. Put on the top part. Lubricate the gutter and slide it on. Use a hammer to reach desired height up the gutter.3. Lubricate the main section inside. Using a flathead screw driver bend the end of the gutter so you can insert the section inside. Tehehehe4. Use a hammer to ensure its all the way up. Be careful as to not break the plastic. I couldn't find my rubber mallet so use one if you have one.5. Bring up the lower cut section and use flt head screw driver again to bend it around the lower part to slide on. I used a tad more lubrication to make it easy. Drill 3 holes the same size as your screws on the front and sides.6. I had extra aluminum screws from another project so I used those do they don't rust. Ensure the flat tip so if you so go through it debris will not catch. Screw them in after putting the sealant in the hole or around the screw.7. Attach hose and feed it to the barrel. I plan on putting a clamp on when I find the box of them I have. I may drill a hole in the barrel side later and attach the hose that way to a spout ill screw and seal in.All in all it should be a .5 to 1 hr project. I didn't have my stuff unboxed so I went a little over an hour finding stuff as I went.Use:Works okay so far. I haven't found a need to use more screws yet to ensure the 2 plastic pieces stay attached but I might. I might also add some screws to the top to ensure it stays on.It rained and filled some of the barrel with no issues. The hose couldve been clear so I may swap that out someday so the white doesnt stick out.Pros:-Works as expected.-Feels thick and not flimsy. The hose is not a bad hose and pretty thick as well.Cons:-Add aluminium screws to ensure product doesnt slide off. With possible drilling instructions.-Maybe a water soluable lubricant package.-Add a hose color preference.If I didn't have the extra screws I would have had to go find some. I think they should be at least noted on the instructions as well as possibly needing lubricant.So far its a total 5. I will not deduct overall score for extra missing pieces that may not be needed for everyone. Install score was only thing I gave a 4/5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really works!
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2023
Was given a large rain barrel by my daughter. Bought this diverter with uncertainty about how effective it was. Will it really divert most the water in downspout from ~1,200 sq ft roof section? In short... it does.

Installation was pretty easy. I didn't use a hand saw. Instead I use a multi-tool cutter. Located diverter 18" above the barrel top to ensure good outflow from the diverter. The rain barrel is not sealed, so there is no intent for water to pool back up to diverter when barrel is filled. My first test was running garden hose into gutter atop downspout. This test indeed proved ~80% of water gets diverted, confirming water does tend to flow down walls of downspout with nominal rain fall conditions.

Did not use supplied 1 1/4" flex tube. I bought a flexible, yet more rigid braded 1 1/4" ID tube to connect barbed fitting of diverter to a barbed fitting I had installed into barrel.

We've had several rain storms since installation. Barrel is filled by ~1/2" rain. For overflow I have rigged a 1 inch exit pipe from top of rain barrel that can fill another lawn barrel to the side. As shown in picture, diverter is paintable.

Bottom line- this is a clever and inconspicuous product to integrate your rain barrel with.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Well but Barbed Output is Limiting
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2023
This attachment works well for collecting rainwater but the diverter's 1-1/4" barbed fitting is problematic. Instead of the included flimsy hose I wanted to use rigid PVC pipes. I also needed to make an immediate 90 degree turn and lay flush against the house while looking nice from the street.

I ended up cutting a short segment of the hose to put over the barbed fitting. I used a PVC 90 degree Elbow fitting that went from 1-1/4" NPT to Socket. I found the NPT threading could firmly screw on to the malleable hose fitted over the barb. That allowed me to tightly make the 90 degree turn and now use standard PVC pipe fittings, but stuck with an awkward pipe size. I used a 1-1/4" to 1" Bushing Fitting Reducer and then a 1" NPT to Socket fitting. From there I was able to use standard 1" PVC pipe and compatible fittings to bring water into my rain barrels.

The diverter doesn't collect all the rainwater and there's still a trickle. When I cut the downspout I purposefully took out a large section to allow me to place a small barrel at its end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Well for Rainwater Collection
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2023
Living in the desert southwest, water is always a precious commodity and I've been wanting to collect rainwater for use in my backyard for some time and finally got around to installing gutters and using a pair of 50-gallon rain barrels to go with them. I ordered the Oatey diverters ahead of time and had them installed at the same time as the downspouts for the new gutters and the installer had no problem adding them in. They work very well but do not divert 100% of the rainwater depending on the flow level. A small trickle does still come out of the downspout but not anything like what it would be if the red plug was fitted and the hose removed. I'm ok with that arrangement as when it rains, it tends to be heavy but short duration, so capturing +90% or so is a drastic improvement over what I was getting before which was just whatever runoff happened to make its way to the grass. The installer was a professional so there were no leaks and the feed angle of the diverter matched up perfectly with my barrels to allow the large flexible hose to be directed into them for collection. The hoses do have some kinking from being packed inside the box but once stretched out, that didn't really pose a problem for their flow volume in my experience.
