Installing Rain Chains
In
Japan, you will find some buildings have handcrafted copper rain chain gutter
connections that connect the copper rain chain to the gutter. The connection does
not fit onto most US made rain gutters.
Rain
chains designed for American homes easily installs into
pre-existing rain gutters.
First remove your old rain gutter downspout. Rain chains that are designed for American homes come with an expandable copper hanger. Simply squeeze the copper hanger and insert it into your existing rain gutter drain hole at a corner eave of your home or patio. Secure the bottom of the rain chain to the ground where your proper drainage is located.
