Pvc pipe waterer

[redstars]

can anyone help me find pics of a waterer I saw on here a while back? It was a pvc pipe with holes every few inches and a couple end caps. I did a search and still couldn't find it. Thanks.

That sounds more like a feeder someone posted pictures of.

I'm shure it was for water, It had a threaded cap on the end to flush it out. I just wanted to have another look at it. If I can't find it I will just have to wing it and hope for the best. thanks.

We are in the process of making something like that. We will be using threaded nipples, so the chickens drink from below by pecking at the steel post valve. We've decided to tap threads in the pipe so that we can use teflon tape instead of silicon seal. We used silicon when we put nipples in the bottom of a bucket. If the silicon is on the outside the girls peck at it & eat it (yech!). If it's on the inside it collects an unappealing biofilm (also yech).

We got 1" diameter schedule 40 pvc pipe, so it is thick enough to take the threads and big enough to take the nipples. The chickens are already cool with the nipples in the bucket. This way we can hook the whole thing to a garden hose for now & a permanent line later, and know they aren't running out of water.

When we get it all sorted out & working I'll post more details.
