The Emsco Group RESCUE 50 Gal. Grey Flat Back Whiskey Rain Barrel features an integrated planter and an easy-to-install, patented downspout diverter kit. The diverter kit fits 2 in. x 3 in. standard or 3 in. x 4 in. high capacity downspouts. The downspout diverter will route water to the rain barrel when raining and bypass the rain barrel when full. This rain barrel kit collects rainwater to be both environmentally-friendly and cost effective by reducing your dependence on municipal or well water. The diverter system does not have to be removed during the winter season and can be by passed so that water flows through the downspout as usual, keeping water from getting into the rain barrel and freezing. The integrated planter can be planted into directly or a pre-arranged floral basket can be used to adorn the top of the rain barrel.

The rain barrel comes with a 48-inch main outlet hose with an on/off ball cock valve, allowing you to control the water flow. You don't have to keep a hose hooked up to it constantly.
This rain barrel is designed to be used with a standard downspout, using the included diverter. It sounds like you're considering a different setup. While you could potentially modify the barrel to work with a rain chain from an awning, it's not designed for that purpose. The included diverter and hose are specifically for connecting to a downspout. You would need to find a way to direct the water from your rain chain into the barrel and manage the overflow.
Yes, additional diverter sets can be purchased.
Yes
Not sure i bought this awhile ago don't remember. call home depo they will know.
Yes but I added 2 extra
Yes. Everything you need to install this comes with it. You just need a way to cut the downspout in two places.
It comes with two screws, the water diverter, a 6-foot hose and a diverter tube, which is everything you need for a quick simple installation.
Yes.
I am not sure if the barrel itself is safe for plant consumption but I know I have asphalt shingles and would not want to take water run off from those into my garden.
No, it is not rated as food safe.
I have used mine the last 2 years to water vegetable plants in my small garden. Personally, only the manufacturer can answer your question about the plastic used in the production of the barrel.
yes is not problem placed Coco Planter vigoro on the base of plastic 20 in. AquaSav Coconut Liner $20 Internet #202911098 Model # BC20X
I don’t know ,however I DO know that if you don’t drain it before winter it WILL freeze and split.
No, they are not set up to do that. But hypothetically you could simply drill a hole in the side of the unit lower than where the water enters the first unit and run a second pipe to the second unit. Once it is full it would back feed into the first unit. One thing to note is they may be flat back but mine bulges substantially out when full.
no, the water backs up the connection hose
They are not "set up" that way, however it would be easy to connect them with the supplied tubing by simply cutting a hole at the top of the opposite side of the inlet tube in the first barrel.
