With this valve and some other components from this company, as well as a length of 1/2" PVC pipe, which I already have. I was able to construct a custom watering system for my chickens. They drink out of anything, including the ducks' pools, mud puddles, and random collections of water, but I wanted to create an easy to maintain, automatic filling source of clean water and now I have. I was able to place the water reservoir near my hose then run the watering lines to where the chickens congregate eat. Online instructions are great and assembly is straightforward and quick. The only problem I encountered was easily remedied. Because I got all the component separately, I found I was unable to buy the bucket they use in their starter kit, so I had to find another one and figure out how to mount it to the wall. Still, I highly recommend this product and this system.
