Can these be installed in PVC that has pressurized water, like a sprinkler system?

They are not meant for pressurized water. Given the way they work, I would imagine the pressure would create resistance and make it difficult if not impossible for the chickens to drink from it.

Possibly...but if there's too much pressure or it's constant, the nipples will most likely leak. I could never get my chickens to use these though. They're either too dumb to figure it out or too lazy...

Yes. That's what I did, and it worked fine. I have no sprinkler system in my yards. Applying before rain works just as well.

Depends on the sprinkler head you have installed , the brass sprinkler hold up better then the plastic heads do

It would need to be installed in a waterproof housing with the AC adapter indoors. The electronics aren't designed to get wet. But the quality of the device is worth putting in a housing or running your sprinkler wiring indoors.

Yes of course. No problem to add a sprinkler. There will be a little loss of water pressure, about 5 percent.Best regardsCustomer ServiceA&T; Supplies

It depends on connections. I found connections that will fit in the irrigation aisle at Lowe's. You can try it and see.

Will work fine in the 4" PVC pipe, You might look on Youtube under Larry Hall or Rain Gutter Grow System, There is a bunch of videos on usingplastic rain gutters and the PVC pipe foe self watering planters. Good luck

This would depend on your local codes. With that said, AVB's are not designed to be pressurized all the time and are typically installed downstream of the valves. If your backflow is upstream of the valves and under pressure even when the valves are off, you local code probably calls for a PVB. Thank you SprinklerPartsWholesale

no you can do that because cold water inlet inside is normal pvc for cold no for hot water

I believe so, yes. But as I said in my review, mine (both of them) only lasted one use and then sprung several leaks, so it may work with a sprinkler, but it may not work more than once or twice.

The unit's compatible with pvc. You'll have to stabilize the pvc input and outflow so that you can unscrew the canister from the cap. I did it with a couple of wooden blocks and some metal plumbers tape.

Hugh, I'm not sure. You could look at www.sprinklerwarehouse.com and ask that question.

These are not hand held brass sprinklers; they need to be plugged into a base. The bases seem to allow for interchangeable impact sprinklers.

I haven't used mine with a sprinkler, but I don't see why not. I'm guessing good pressure in, good pressure out. The issue isn't so much the pressure as it is the diameter of the hose which affects the VOLUME. You may need to leave the sprinkler in place longer because the amount of water that comes out of the hose in a given time is less.

I don't believe so. I couldn't do it, and not just that but I wouldn't even waste your money or time on these. They eventually get water in them and you can't get the water out. The old water that gets stuck in there starts to make the inside rust. I threw mine out.

I already answered your question but you got me thinking. I used a long PVC pipe I had from left over sprinkler project. I placed it inside the cover and extended it into the air to the top of my umbrella that's attached to my patio table, it was a tiny bit tricky at first, but it worked! ;)

No, but you can purchase a sprinkler extension pipe and insert it into the tube. All mine 30 each are on sprinkler extensions because you can pound the pipe into the ground and just have the light sit on top. This way they are always straight and easy access.
