I had a hard time getting it all the way into the tube. I ended up cutting about 3/4 inch off
The previous copper collection container was not solid copper, but had a separate copper cap as the bottom, attached to the tube. The bottom cap was pushed out due to the freeze last winter and the container no longer holds water. The solid container solves this issue beautifully.
Looks good, but spring rains will tell the story. Have every reason to believe it will work just fine.
Gift for my father’s birthday and he loved it!
