No Shoes...

You found a better price on EBay then I did.

I paid $12.88 for six plus $5.35 for shipping.... Don't know how I missed your supplier... good for you!

Try Neil Grassbaugh on this forum, best price on nipples and cheap shipping.

I ordered the you know whats off ebay and I paid less than $2 each including shipping.

So how are people using these? Are you running buckets or ? I am building a coop and thinking of trying these.

I had them installed in a 2' section of 1" pvc. They were the screw in kind. I used teflon tape, nut driver and installed carefully yet firmly. I had a 2' vertical piece of pipe installed on one end, the other was capped. I was planning to use this in my brooder after a test.
They leaked alot thru the nipple. I watched carefully and applied a tissue to the sides of the nipple at the pvc. Dry, the water was leaking thru the nipple. Maybe not enough water pressure to seal? I installed two of them into large juice bottle lids. They leaked and now have stopped. 2 weeks later. I have puchased the pushin type and will installe them into the coop (when completed). More later.
PS the chicks love them and they are great, now!

I had not come acroos his name prior to my purchase. I would have gone thru him to keep it in the BYC family.
