Hi, I'm, new to this forum and I have some questions about making my own no mess water system. I did a search on the subject and I came across several posts that are supposed to have pictures attached but for some reason , the pictures are missing.

I would like to know if the FarmTech super flow nipples will work on a 36" lenght of 4"PVC mounted horizontally with two nipples installed at the bottom of the canister. Would this type of application cause too much preassure on the nipples and cause them to leak or make them too hard for the birds to activate ?

Those 'no leaks' Super Flow nipples will drip regardless of the pressure.  I do think they work real well in my outdoor flight pen though mounted to 3/4" PVC.

Oh... and  s016

What type of application are you looking for?  I thought the drink cups were great initially becuase of no leaking and I think they are the way to go in breeder pens but I have mounted some in the shelter for my outdoor flight pen and rarely see any birds drink out of them.  They seem to prefer the nipple drinkers.
