I do not think you would need to cut that.Hello,
I really like this idea. If I use this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/NIBCO-3...-Hub-Street-Elbow-C48072HD3/100347226#overlay
Will I have to cut the PVC? Or can I just insert this in a 5 gallon bucket after cutting with the 3 1/8 hole saw?
Actually I think I need to cut the thick part because if not the hole will be almost in the middle of the bucket. What’s the best saw to cut it clean? Miter saw?I do not think you would need to cut that.
However. . You might need to buy a matching straight pipe, and cut off an inch or two of the straight pipe to add length to that elbow.
Might be easiest to start with only those elbows, and see how much feed is billed out. Then, only add length if there is a problem.
Also... let me measure mine, I love mine...
I think mine is a 4 inch diameter, but I am not sure.
If you have roosters with huge combs, or ducks...the 3 inch might be too small...
I will tell you the size of mine in the morning.
Huh?Actually I think I need to cut the thick part because if not the hole will be almost in the middle of the bucket. What’s the best saw to cut it clean? Miter saw?

So I had my friend help cut it since he has a miter saw and it didn’t go as well as I had hoped lol.Yes, a miter saw will work good. I cut the smaller end and put the elbow in from the outside. This left a little bigger opening, to stick their head in.
Cool I’ll buy both at Home Depot.That should be smoothed out, so there are no sharp edges. If you have a file, use that first, then sandpaper.
Did you use a hand miter saw, not a miter/chop saw(eletric)? You could also use a hack saw, if your cutting more by hand.
