(6 Pack) Chicken Waterer PVC Tee Fittings For Threaded Poultry Watering Cups - Schedule 40 PVC 1/2 inch Slip X 1/2 inch Slip X 1/8 inch FPT

High quality spouts for chicken coop. These spouts do no leak and function perfectly for watering chickens. Super good value for the price. These spouts also are easy to clean. Definitely recommend.

If you've ever put PVC plumbing together you know how simple these are to use. I originally ordered just the cups and installed them in my automatic watering system in my chicken coop. They work great. But I needed an automatic watering system for my brooder box as well and I didn't want to risk any leaks so I built that one with these Cruzadel Tees and it works flawlessly. Couldn't be happier as the last one I built in the brooder box used the other style of poultry watering cups and sure enough my chicks managed to jam one open, dumping almost five gallons of water into their brooder box. If I hadn't lined it with 6 mil plastic it would have been ruined. As it was--well, nasty mess. No mess with these tees and RentACoop automatic chicken watering cups.

The exact solution we were looking for! These pipe fittings perfectly fit the Harris Farms Poultry Nipples ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B3H2AK6 ). Having the nipples screw in perfectly to these fittings saves a huge hassle of drilling straight holes, dealing with leaks at the joins, etc. NOTE: the Little Giant Poultry Nipples do not fit these pipe fittings — the threads on the nipples are too small to make contact with the pipe fittings.

Some of the threads were not threaded correctly...

These work great with half inch PVC pipe and the nipple waterers. No leakes.

These were easy to install and the chickens love getting their water by pecking it

When assembling with standard 1/2 Schedule 40 PVC pipe it was a struggle. The inner diameter appears to have an over aggressive taper. After applying PVC Cement to both the Tee fitting and the pvc pipe, it took a lot of force to fully engage the fitting and if you let go too soon the Tee and Pipe will shoot apart. You have to give the usual twist and then hold with lots of force for more than 20 seconds before they won't shoot apart. Because of the tension it is hard to keep the pipe straight in the tee. after assembling a few of them together to make a quail waterer manifold, found the assemble made an aggressive (not slight) arch. Upon further examination, the tees appear to be deformed and more flared out around the area of the pipe. This indicates a lot of tension in the connection and is likely the tees will just split as some point in the future due to this tension. I have never experienced such an issue with any PVC fittings before this product.

Arrived on time! I have not used them yet, but these are very sturdy and thick PVC. I think they will work well with the nipples I bought. I like that the T section is long enough that I can install my waterer outside the wire and it will push thru so the nipples can screw in. I’m not going to have to cut my wire.
