Ullnosoo Chicken Water Nipples, 15 Pcs Horizontal Poultry Automatic Waterer Nipples for Bucket with Gaskets and Drill Bit Review (2026)

Who this nipple set is for

This is a bulk parts kit for keepers building their own horizontal nipple waterer from a bucket, tote, or length of PVC pipe. Ullnosoo's listing describes the set as 15 automatic water nipples made of ABS plastic and metal, packaged with 15 ring gaskets, 15 wing nuts, a 9 millimeter drill bit, and an installation tool, which covers everything needed for the drilling and mounting step except the container itself. Fifteen nipples is enough for two smaller waterers or one larger multi-hole bucket with a few spares left over, which suits keepers who want to outfit more than one pen at once without ordering a second set.

What is included and how the parts fit together

The matching 9 millimeter drill bit is a genuine convenience here, since using the wrong bit size is one of the most common reasons DIY nipple waterers leak. Each nipple seats through the wall with a ring gasket compressed by a wing nut on the inside, which the manufacturer says is meant to create a tight seal and prevent leaks around the threads. The installation tool helps seat each nipple straight and snug without over-tightening, which matters because a nipple installed at an angle is more likely to drip or fail to seal properly over time and cause damp bedding underneath.

Living with it and quality considerations

Ullnosoo is a smaller, less established brand than names like RentACoop, so while the listing describes rugged ABS and metal construction and a 12 month warranty, thread and gasket consistency can vary more piece to piece than with a longer-established supplier. Test each nipple with a bucket of water on the bench before mounting a full build outdoors, so you catch a weak seal or loose thread before it is dripping onto bedding in the coop. Drilling 15 holes into one bucket wall, if you use the full set on a single container, will weaken thinner plastic walls, so consider spacing nipples generously or splitting the set across two containers instead.

How it compares with other nipple kits

Against RentACoop's 12 piece kit, which adds a dribble dish under each nipple to catch drips, this Ullnosoo set trades that drip control for three extra nipples and its own matching drill bit, useful if you did not already own a 9 millimeter bit. Both kits leave you sourcing the bucket or pipe yourself. If build quality consistency matters more to you than piece count, RentACoop's longer track record in the poultry watering space is worth weighing against Ullnosoo's larger, cheaper bundle, especially for a keeper building their first DIY waterer and wanting fewer surprises during install.

Verdict and who should pick something else

Keepers outfitting two pens at once, or who want spares on hand without buying a second kit, get solid value here, matching our score of 8.6 out of 10 with its strongest marks for value and specs. Keepers who want the most consistent hardware quality from a well-established brand, or who specifically want drip control built in, should look at RentACoop's kit instead, and anyone planning to drill many holes in one bucket should reinforce or double up the wall material first. Test the full set on the bench before final installation so any weak seals turn up before the waterer is mounted outdoors.
