Will these nipples work with a pressureized water system, like from my garden hose? I would connect the hose to a pvc pipe to install the nipples.

Yes that is how I have mine hooked up. We installed a valve it so we can control the flow of the water.

no they will leak like crazy and the chickens cannot get the water out because of the pressure.

I have not tried to use the soaker hoses with a gravity feed water system. I am not sure if there would be enough pressure to fill the hoses. Hopefully someone else may have tried and have a definitive answer for you. I love these hoses and have been using them for 2 years. This season will be the third for them.

I use these on a 5-gal bucket, full they do not leak. Although the plastic wall of a bucket may be thicker as long as the circumference is similar on your container the faucet should work.

yes they will if you are talking about a inverted nipple. you have to stick with them even though you think they are working, don't quit for a few weeks at least. or they revert back to before and you have to start over.

Your hole should be just perfect enough that you have to screw in the nipples with a socket or wrench. That tight of a fit. If it's not like that then you have a hole size issue. If it is tight then you have a sealing issue. Easy fix.

This unit is designed to work with a non pressurized source, for instance a tank placed below the level of the faucet. I'm not sure if there are any that would work for pressurized and not pressurized sources in one unit, although if you can I would keep it simple and use this unit for the tank and get a regular faucet for the pressurized source.

I am not sure, I installed them on the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket, and used silicon. It worked out good. If you were to use regular pipe fittings you should be fine with Teflon tape or pipe dope.

The unit comes with a push and seal connector for 3/8" plastic water line. If you don't want to use this connector simply unscrew it and it leaves a threaded pipe to connect to.

Possibly...but if there's too much pressure or it's constant, the nipples will most likely leak. I could never get my chickens to use these though. They're either too dumb to figure it out or too lazy...

I am not sure.... I only have used the avent nipples with them.... Sorry I cant help!

it comes with the threded pipe nipples only. You need the water lines and fitting you self. Hope this helps you!

I'm not sure, but there are 3 sizes in the set so one should work. Unfortunately as the flange gets larger so does the part the nipple goes into.

They are for low pressure only. I have two 350 gallon totes that catch rain water off a small barn about 100yds away uphill. The elevation between the totes and the nipples is approximately 15 ft. and I have no leakage. These nipples will freeze and break very easily.

I put 25PSI at faucet, run garden hose to garden, attach a metal 4 way to hose, 4 50 foot 1/4" drip lines (one for each row of my veg. garden) with garden hose from 4 way to garden row to 1/4" line. All 4 drip lines on at the same time. Putting a T in your line should work.

You can use these nipple in anything plastic. Drill a 5/16" hole into the plastic of your choice. I used them in a plastic jug and had to apply thread tape and a little silicone caulking around the threads to keep them from leaking. I also have them in the botom of a 5 gallon plastic bucket and thread tape only kept this from leaking. I do have two nipples that I did not need to use anything on the threads to keep them from leaking so it is really just trial and error.

yes. i have bought nipples separately and they have worked just fine. i ended up having to go back to level 1 nipples for my son and had no problem (the bottles came with level 2). hope this helps!

No, they are not. The only thing you could do is to adjust the outlet of the tap so that the water flowing from the bucket to the nipples would be less. But that probably isn't what you want. I'm extremely happy with my watering device. The chickens love it and they seem to get enough water.
