Horizontal Drip-Catch Nipples
Water nipples for chickens, ducks and other poultry. Side-facing nipple ensures water stays fresh and clean. Drip-catch design reduces moisture build-up in the coop.
Horizontal nipples take a firmer peck to activate than vertical nipples. They're best used for stronger flock members and not young chicks.
Do-it-yourself! Modify square buckets, round buckets or PVC pipe systems for use with these nipples.
Instructions/Diagrams:
Specs
- Gravity flow poultry nipple
- Size: 1.25"D x 1.25"W x 1.25"H
- Suited for: adults

Note: The exact number of birds to water is difficult to determine as there are many factors that influence intake; salt and protein levels in the diet, humidity, temperature, productivity (growth or egg production) and the birds ability to process feed and water.
How to Use
- Drill a 3/8" hole into a square bucket, round bucket or PVC pipe, thread the nipple into place.
- Set the watering system (whether bucket or PVC system) at just above head height for the birds. They should stretch slightly to drink.

I wanted to have extra water nipples on hand just in case one fails. Ordering was a breeze and I received the package quickly.

I had one of these break on my Little Giant waterer. Easy to screw in and works great.

Nipples are great, however, you better buy washers and nuts for them, otherwise, you’ll have them leak. The company should offer those additional items for a complete job that will work.
