Do these need some kind of nut on the inside to stay securely in place on a five gallon bucket?If so, what diameter and thread is used?

No, I thought they would but they just screw right in, an stay tight. We did apply some calk to ensure they would not leak on the first one but it really doesn't need it provided you use the right drill bit.

If you are putting this nipples in a 5gal. bucket you don't need any additional parts. The opening is 5/16, the nipple will self thread into the bottom of the bucket with some white plumbing tape.

They don't need anything other than Teflon tape. They come with an o-ring. They seal really good but for added insurance the tape works great. Not sure about drill bit size. Just slightly smaller than the threaded end.

No nut just carefully drill hole in bucket and I've had np with it love them I think I used a little pipe thread or dope but it's been a great deal I wish I would have known about them sooner

For the Screw-in style nipple I used a regular paint type bucket (never used) and an 11/32 inch bit worked perfectly. I did use Teflon tape also as a precaution. If you use PVC you need a 5/16 inch bit and again use Teflon tape for a good seal. Silicone sealant has been used by some people if the tape doesn't give a full seal. Hope this helps.

The threaded portion is 3-1/2" with the nut being about 1/2" thick. We've installed them in a number of various desks and tables around campus without issue.

I can't answer your direct question but, this is our 2nd purchase (8 yr interval). If your 5 gal. bucket is short & wider rather than tall, would think cord could be balanced & not fall in. We use in our birdbath all winter when temps dip below freezing in Michigan. It truly is dependable & works great for us.

Matt I used a 1 and 1/4 " hole for my connection, but to sure just measure the PVC Connection that goes threw the bucket, the item they sent me is black threadedAnd has a rubber gasket attached to it to make the seal. I hope this helps good luck

I'm sure they would, I used mine on 5 gal buckets from Lowes and they are about the same thickness.

yes, the diameter of a 5 gallon bucket is 12 inches, this unit has a diameter of 10.5 inches

Hello,The thread size is 1 inch NPT. I found that I could buy the element on Amazon and have it shipped to Australia, but the nut for some reason could not be shipped to Australia. A search in ebay for 1" locknut NPT should yield a result. This is the exact item i purchased which is working perfectly. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/290700312209I hope this helps.John.

They stick (not thread) into a 1/4" hose - no connector required, just a lot of pressure. Hard to do if the hose has been weathered and hardened for some time. Wish I could find threaded drippers - much more secure connection.

No, the threads you see are for the nut that tightens the flange and holds the bulkhead in place. You need either a 1" nipple, onto which you can screw a female threaded fitting, or else a 1" male to femate threaded adapter. Either way, you need 1" male threaded fitting into the bulkhead.

Hello,These should work fine. However, we do not yet have inventory from receiving to the stock bins, so we are unable to measure the shaft diameter. Thank you

No. They're meant for a tall can, so they don't have the circumference for a 5 gallon paint bucket.

We had a thick plastic window to go through, and still had a good 1/4in of threads left on outside of the nut.Hope this helps. We sold the cart a couple weeks ago.

Loose fit on usual 5 gallon bucket (I've tried three different ones)Falls off if the bucket tips over.

It comes with a wire bracket that straddles the inside top of a five gallon bucket. Place it over the bracket and turn 90 degrees that spreads the tines enough for the brass to fall in the bucket..

I don't think the bags are deep enough to drape over the edges of a 5 gallon bucket, which is what you want. Maybe a 2-1/2 or 3 gallon bucket would work. Alternately, you could partially fill your 5 gallon bucket with sand or dirt to make the bags fit properly. An added advantage of that is that it would make your setup more stable. Good luck!

Look at the top tip and you will see an acorn nut. It is there to protect the 1/4"-20 threaded end. Mine was just finger tight and I didn't need a wrench to remove them.
