Would this Product be ok submerged inside a pipe? For use with a chicken coop watering system?

This cable is not designed to be in water but works great on the outside of the pipe.

NO, this product is very specifically designed to be wrapped around the exterior of a water line, in an enclosed area, such as under a home in a crawl space, not in the open weather. You are also suppose to complete the installation by wrapping fiberglass matt insulation around it afterwards and covering that with a wrap of plastic. I don't think any of thoses requirements would work well in your desired application.

I used it in the kitchen and I go from brass to PVC (plastic) drain pipes. It did not hurt either of them. Be sure to use as directed. It works great!

I use mine in a cooler that feeds my chicken watering system. if I remember correctly it is in the black piece near the heating ring.

I only used it briefly when the chickens were little as I only had a small coop for the babies. I have Isa Browns and Black Sex links, and they were able to figure it out and get water. I put a 5 gallon barrel on top of the coop, so it would keep it filled. But I actually prefer the old fashioned chicken water elevated a little bit off the ground just because I was never sure if the barrel was getting low. I use a flat bottom bowl to elevate the waterer a little bit to help keep dirt and pine shavings out of it, and so the water level is a little higher that just on the ground....I prefer the old tin waterer type because you can just look at it and see if it's clean water and filled. But I did keep my oasis fountainhead, as I would hook it up again if I was going to be gone for a few days, because I could connect it to a large water reservoir so they would always have water when I am gone. And I don't know of any way to keep the dirt and bird crap out of the tin water container - I've tried elevating them a little and it doesn't help - they still find a way to crap in their water reservoir!

No; this unit is used with a rain bird irrigation system; however there I do believe there are other items available on the market for your intended need.

You should just be able to leave it out the chickens will get into it fine. We have also used for chickens.

It does not have to be submerged in order to work, if the intake is supplied with water. Like at the low end of a closed loop system. But it won't pull water up from a reservoir.

plastic pipe is fine if there is water in the pipe. you need a way to transport heat along the pipe to avoid hot spots.electrically, the only concern is ground water getting into connections.you should try to contact customer service and confirm that the cable is properly rated for underground use and that the termination is fully sealed.

They are not meant for pressurized water. Given the way they work, I would imagine the pressure would create resistance and make it difficult if not impossible for the chickens to drink from it.

I don't believe it can be used in a wet area. I have an old house and some pipes froze before I got this product. It worked very well for me.

I think you could but you must keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't clog up. Also if it is not attached to the pipe tightly it could come off and clog up the pipe.

Not really - My barrel is about 8" above the ground and when the barrel is partially full, or even full, the pressure is adequate to fill watering cans or water nearby plants but not to actually "spray" very far as you would with an outdoor faucet. This unit works great for its intended purpose - to water our plants with "free" untreated water.

You could use it inside. You would need a hook of sorts. Also if it is a little over-watered, it will drip out. Other than that, it would work great inside.

Before we filled this with plants, we put it outside with the plugs left in. It rained, and it did hold water. I didn't check to see if it leaked, though. If I planned on using it indoors, I'd probably put a tray under it to catch drips. Indoor plants need proper drainage, too.

You would need the pond or reservoir to be deep enough. The body of the pump is about 2 inches, and the clear part is about 6 inches long. Depending on how you assemble it, I would be worried about it going dry. To answer you question, sure you could probably use epoxy or silicon to mount airline tubing inlieu of the spray bar.

If it's going to be submerged yes. Otherwise not really. Squirt a little silicone behind it if you want

Liquid is sucked up through the red tube which approx 2 1/2 " pipe and blows it out through hose. It sounds like its a tight area so I doubt it would work. If there is not a huge amount of water try a large turkey Baster. It has a small tip and would suck up a cup each pump.
