Can these nipples be used with a continuous water supply?

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.

Yes, but you will want to have a pressure reduction if you are attempting to hook to a garden spigot/hose. If you gravity feed from a bucket or reservoir, they are fine.

I use an automatic dog watering bowl, similar to this one: H20 Animal Hydration Flow Automatic Waterer The waterer uses a float system like a toilet. I drilled a hole in the bottom of the waterer, attached a vertical piece of PVC about 2' long. At the other end. I used a t-fitting at add a horizontal PVC and inserted the nipples into this. A garden hose is attached to the dog waterer so it filled as necessary. The only thing is you've got at have some kind of cover the the dog waterer, else it gets too dirty from the dust. And I put a crumbled piece of chicken on top to keep the chickens off the top. Been using this for several years & it works fine.

You can put this in just about anything. I have some in a 5 gallon bucket that I have hanging. I have others in a PVC pipe that is connected to a 5 gallon bucket. They have to be vertical or they will drip. You could build a frame I suppose, but they need to be able to get to the nipples, which need to be on the bottom. I have seen them in the caps of water bottles or pop bottles for chicks, too.

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!

I think so. I did not use that particular pump. But I have used the Medela bottles with the ameda pump as well as the ameda bottles. The bottles themselves I can use interchangeably. (I have used ameda tops on Medela bottles and nipples and vice versa with no problems) So my guess is yes it can. I hope that helps some.

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.

I use the larger breastshields with my pump in style. No special connectors needed.

Hi - our bottles have a substantially wider neck (designed for easy cleaning) and as such, our nipples won't fit into other brands. Thanks!

Yes slow flow nipple come standard. Though you may want to check out the "variable flow" or "y cut" its flow depends on how hard the baby sucks. I had lots of success.

Yes an they are the kind that actually keep fluid in the bottle. They fit snugly over the nipple to prevent leaks.

Yes. There is a nipple for each side, one for the floor, one for the back seat and two for the middle seat. I recommend you buy a pump made for these types of nipples. Pumps that work on, for example, a bicycle, won't work.

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...

Yes, buy the gerber fast flow nipples. I use them on these.Gerber First Essential 6 Pack Silicone Nipples, Fast Flow

They come with a #2 nipple. Which is a medium flow. But you can purchase slow and fast nipple.

Yes, they both have internal 1/2 inch pipe threads. In other words they will both accept a 1/2 nipple.

My boys have only used them with sippy spouts, but from what I hear from reviews, the nipples seem to be level 2 and 3.

I wouldn't go below 3/4", it has to be wide enough that the nipple will create a water seal. Unless you plan on sealing each of them with a water sealing glue.

YES! Just got them for the Avent Naturals bottles. I have both the glass bottles and the plastic bottles. They work on both. It's not as tight a fit as the regular nipple, but there are NO leaks.
