Parts needed                                        
    


        "Y" Connector Installed
                
                                                              Overflow Installed


Cost of parts should be less than $5.00
(For the one barrel system.)

Depending on the scrap hose you have available, get the plastic overflow fittings for  1/2”, 5/8” or 3/4 “ hose.


Safety tip.  Be sure the barrel is stable! Consider placing support stakes on two sides and then either wiring or roping the barrel to them.  You would not want children playing around it and have it tip over on them.

You should place a mesh screen between the drain pipe end and the barrel to filter out any trash that may otherwise be dropped into the barrel.  Some barrels do not have removable tops, making it  difficult to clean trash out of them.
