Where is this fitting typically used?
It’s commonly used to join two female-threaded parts in poultry watering systems. You might use it between a valve and adapter or to install a secondary pressure-safe output point.
Does it work in gravity and pressure-fed systems?
Yes, this connector is suitable for both gravity and mains pressure drinker systems. Always consider water head height (max. 35 cm for cups/nipples) in gravity designs to avoid overflows.
Is thread tape required?
Yes, for leak-free operation, always apply plumber’s thread tape to both BSPT male ends before installation.
Any tips for beginners building DIY drinker systems?
Keep connections simple and modular—use quick-connects where possible. Always test each fitting for leaks before installing permanently, and maintain consistent water pressure for optimal performance. Ensure your water source doesn't exceed the recommended height if using Lubing Cups or Nipples.
