Can these be mounted at a 45 degree angle or do they have to be vertical

No. They must be at a 90degree. They use the pressure from the 5gal pail to keep the pin closed. It's when the chicken pushes up on the outside pin that allows water to drip down and then they drink. Mine seemed to drip after the first refill. I didn't change anything on the system. I have 6 hens and the water seems to last about 7-10 days. It does stay very clean.

My installation just allows lateral, (side to side) adjustment & slight angle adjustment.it is possible would work if mounted 90 degrees, but not certain.

The mounts are made for horizontal hanging, but you could buy picture wire and make it vertical.

I'm not sure about mounting locations on specific vehicles but these can be mounted upside down

Mine were direct mount and worked out very well. Didn't see any way to suspend them.

The ends pivot. I just not sure if they pivot enough To mount to a 45 degree wall.

Yes they come with mounts. When mounted vertical they will be able to angle down, when mounted horizontal they can swivel side to side.

Yes, they hold well at any angle. I've had one mounted vertically next to the glove box in my car for months without any issues.

Short answer: not really.Long answer: You're attaching four fairly long screws to a flat metal plate, so the 45 degree angle difference will really cause you some serious problems. Now, you might be able to mount it to one wall in the corner and just angle it to fit, but I'm not 100% on that working out, and you'd be kinda losing the value of the motion this thing offers by doing so. I guess you could cut down to the studs and install a finished cross-piece in the corner to mount on, but that'd be a big job. Good luck!

You can adjust your vertical angle to under 30, just takes a wrench which is included. Horizontal is not really adjustable so much, unless you add a wobblier kit.

As long as they are protected from water I see no reason why they couldn't be mounted sideways. They are easily mounted and should be fine.

Short answer: No. They have to be mounted in a vertical position only. I would add, these are excellent slides. I have used them for many projects and they have always worked flawlessly. Can't beat the value and quality.

That's the only way to mount them is on an angle. You have too drill the bottom holes. Doesn't look bad on the bike.

There are two adjustments bolts at the base of the tilt. Adjust the one on the left until you get a true 45 degree.

Yes they will. There are two types that are just manufacturing differeences, but they will give you a 45 degree angle and hold itg there.

we did not mount them vertically, but as long as the panel receives direct sunlight they should be okay. Even when placed horizontally, if the panel is obstructed from direct sunlight they will not work.

Yes, you can. It is advertised as being able to be used either way, and also says so in the manual. I have two that are mounted vertically and have no issues with them. :)
