Horizontal Watering Nipples for Chicken Coops, Heavy-Duty No-Drip DIY Waterer Parts in 10, 24 or 100 Packs

Horizontal watering nipples give flock keepers a tidier way to offer water from a DIY bucket or PVC pipe system. Chickens peck the stainless steel pin to release water, avoiding the messy standing water found in traditional tray-style waterers.

These heavy-duty nipples can be installed in a container that suits your coop or run. The finished waterer may be placed on the ground, which is useful where the space or weight of a hanging system would be difficult to manage.

Key Features

• The horizontal design does not drip, so less waste and mess collect around your flock's drinking area and routine waterer cleaning becomes easier.
• No water remains stored inside the nipple unit. When the main water supply is heated, this arrangement keeps the nipples from freezing during winter.
• High-density plastic construction gives each nipple the extra strength needed for regular flock use, while the stainless steel pin releases water when pecked.
• Installation works with containers such as 5-gallon plastic buckets or PVC pipe, letting you build a watering layout that fits your available coop space.
• New users can be introduced by tapping each nipple until water fills the reservoir. Removing other water sources during training encourages chickens to investigate and learn the system.
• Because these nipples require enough force to depress the pin, they are not suitable for chicks during their first week of life.
