Measuring For Your Rain Chain Installation Kit
Rain Chain Resource Center
This is the perfect accessory to make your rain chain installation easy and work perfectly! The Installation Kit directs water downward onto the rain chain for maximum water flow efficiency. This kit is designed to be used with standard flat (K-Style) gutters. Please note, this kit may not be compatible with custom-fabricated gutters, as unique dimensions and configurations may affect proper installation. Available in in copper, raw aluminum, and aluminum with a black, bronze, or white powder-coat finish.
This kit drops into the gutter hole that's at 2 1/4" in diameter (An additional sleeve is provided "just in case" for larger gutter openings). Your rain chain can either hang from the bolt or the bottom of the included D-clip. Both are perfectly secure attachment methods. It's recommended that you hang link style rain chains, such as the Double Loops Rain Chain from the bolt, so that more water flows directly onto the chain. Made of the purest, thickest materials. The D-clips are made of stainless steel for added strength and durability. The Installation Kit looks great, too!
Some gutters have a hole only, no flange, spout or outlet tube. Water tends to swirl out of a hole like that, missing the rain chain. Water also sticks to the underside of the gutter, dripping off up to several feet away. Some gutters have an opening that is larger than the rain chains link or cup. In this case, a lot of water will miss the chain at the top. The Installation Kit directs the water onto (or into) the chain, helping it to function with maximum efficiency. It's easy to remove too! Hanging the chain from the D-clip at the bottom of the kit allows for easy removal and installation. Plus, it's a more secure method of attachment.
Very high-quality products. Beautifully made. Sturdy and lovely at the same time. It brings back the fun of watching rain storms… like playing in mud puddles when you were a kid!

Thanks for the awesome review! We are always happy to help!
This rain chain completes my new porch. I chose it to avoid a network of ugly downspouts in a very visible location. The installation kit made it simple to hang and the copper basin attached easily. I positioned the chain 18” from the end of the gutter so it shows better in the space. My gutter installer angled the gutter a tiny tiny bit so there is no standing water in the gutter. Our resident cat loves the basin of fresh water however I do dump it onto the adjacent garden to prevent mosquito breeding. The chain and cups are thick and beautifully made, much nicer than I have seen elsewhere.
Thank you so much for the review! We are very happy to hear that you are loving the rain chain and that assembly and installation went well for you!
Works well and gives a clean look with my copper rain chain.
