Installation

WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

• Leaf Catcha

TOOLS/MATERIALS YOU MAY REQUIRE

• Tape measure
• Marker pen
• Saw
• Bracket
• Screws
• Screwdriver or drill

GUTTER MOUNT

1. To install your Leaf Catcha rain head on a vertical downpipe directly under your gutter, measure down from the underside of your gutter and mark the downpipe in two locations. First at 70mm and the second at 240mm. Cut the downpipe at both these locations to create a 170mm gap to install the Leaf Catcha.
   Whether this is directly under your eave or midway down your downpipe, it must be a minimum of 500mm above your tank inlet and tank overflow pipe. Ensure all cut edges are clean and smooth.
2. Fit and bracket the pipe to the wall.
3. Place the mesh screen in your Leaf Catcha, snapping the screen under the rear retaining ledge first, then under the front and side ledges.
4. Slightly rotate your Leaf Catcha to slip it under the upper section of downpipe, then slide it into line and push the unit down onto the lower section of downpipe. Do not glue in place.
5. If desired, you can paint your rain head to match your downpipes, building or tank.

EAVE & “MID” MOUNT

1. Locate the position at which you will be installing your Leaf Catcha rain head. Whether this is directly under your eave or midway down your downpipe, it must be a minimum of 500mm above your tank inlet and tank overflow pipe.
2. Remove a 170mm section of pipe at your desired installation point. Ensure all cut edges are clean and smooth.
3. Fit and bracket the pipe to the wall.
4. Place the mesh screen in your Leaf Catcha, snapping the screen under the rear retaining ledge first, then under the front and side ledges.
5. Slightly rotate your Leaf Catcha to slip it under the upper section of downpipe, then slide it into line and push the unit down onto the lower section of downpipe. Do not glue in place.

Maintenance

For best performance, check and empty your Leaf Catcha rain head on a regular basis.
