    stopping watering nipple leaks

    Just to close out the discussion: the nipples installed with ease, and are 100% leak free. While I don't like having a water tank, this is about as good as it gets. I can definitely recommend the rentacoop nipples. I'm actually getting eggs already, too, even though they're not quite 4 months...

    stopping watering nipple leaks

    Hi Jamie - that looks like the one I'm using, but mine doesn't go down below about 15 PSI. I guess it's one of those YMMV products. Anyway, the pail is in, and plumbed, and I don't see any leaks. Now I just have to install the nipples (which means I have to order them first). I think the lesson...

    Hi all - Just a progress report for anyone interested: I installed two pressure regulators, and successfully got the water pressure down to about 7-8 PSI. Unfortunately, that is still too much, as one of the nipples (the one closest to the inlet) has a very.slow.leak. Frustrating to get so...

    That QC supply product is really interesting...I wish they made one that was only about 2' long. (I'm still hoping to put this inside the coop.) I may go with the idea of a tank, and a shut-off valve. I wonder if I can find a square tank, to make it easier to install on the side of the coop...

    stopping watering nipple leaks

    Thanks for the reply. I certainly didn't expect to find nipples that would tolerate line pressure; that's why I was looking for a decent pressure regulator. But the ones on Amazon seem to only go down to 14 PSI, which still might be too much for nipples. Your idea is interesting, though. Thanks...

    stopping watering nipple leaks

    Hi all - I'm putting the finishing touches on a coop, and want to have line-fed watering nipples. I've used nipples in the past, and they worked fine, but they were gravity fed. My efforts with line-fed have failed; no matter how little I open the supply line, the pressure is too high, and at...
