If they make a 5", I don't see why you can't use one of those.
I've never heard of a 5" elbow, but Lowes does carry a 6" 90 degree street elbow for about $26.

I like that a lot. We get extreme heat here during summer for long periods of time, so I think a two gallon feeder would be better, but I've sure wrestled with that decision. The 50 pound feed bag isn't that big.I put 4" pvc street elbows on my bucket feeder for my Cream Legbars. Most of the roosters have massive combs, but they had no problems using the 4" ones. When I made my tote feeder, I used the same size elbows. If they make a 5", I don't see why you can't use one of those. I love this tote. It holds 50lbs of feed.

For water, I use horizontal nipples in a 5 gallon bucket. I use a cookie tin water heater to keep it from freezing. But, I live in Texas, so we don't have days on end with sub zero temps either.
