Preparing the urn for winter

To protect your stoneware urn from damage in

climates where the temperatures drop below

freezing in winter, it will need to be emptied

and disconnected. Gently pull the tubing out of

the urn opening. Use a string, wire tie or zip tie

to secure the tubing to the downspout above

the diverter with the loose end facing upward.

Water from winter rain or melting snow will

now ow in an uninterrupted path from the

gutter and through the entire length of the

downspout. Now, you can open the spigot and

drain the water from the urn. Store the urn

upside down or inside until spring.

A mild soap and water solution can be used to clean

both inside and outside of urn. Fill urn about 1/4 full

and shake/agitate to loosen any debris. Remove

bottom outlet hose and spray water into top hole

to ush. Wipe outside with non-abrasive cloth.

Maximizing rainwater collection

Up to three Stoneware Urns can be linked together using

EMSCO’s Linking Kit #2277

to gather the

maximum amount of rainwater. To link Storage Urn #1, drill a 3/4” hole in the primary urn (on the

opposite side of the urn from the downspout) 2-1/2” down from the diverter tubing hole (8-3/4” from

the top of the urn lip. Drill another 3/4” hole at the exact same depth in Storage Urn #1 so that it faces the

primary urn. It is important that these holes be level with each other to allow the water to ow in either

direction. Place grommets in each of the two holes and connect with tubing, avoiding any bends, curves

or kinks.

To add a second storage unit, drill a 3/4” hole in Storage Urn #1 on the opposite side of the urn from the

rst hole. The second hole should be 2-1/2” lower than the rst hole drilled (11-1/4” from the top of the

urn lip). Drill a matching 3/4” hole in Storage Urn #2 at the same level. Connect the two with grommets

and tubing. Each urn’s capacity will decrease as holes are added at 2-1/2” increments. While collecting

rainwater, make sure the spigots are turned to the o position.
