Thank you sir. Just did this for an outdoor turtle habitat.

We’re did u get the reducer from

Wow, you make me laugh because this is exactly what I was searching for Thank you.

Another cold plunger here. This was exact solution I needed thanks!

Thank you!

Tread sealer is not needed as the gasket is doing the sealing.

Awesome. Thank you for this video.

Great video thank you

The drain is 1 1/2", how does a 1 1/4 reducer fit, is that how it works, I'm so confused.

I want to share how I solved the slow leak on my new Rubbermaid 100 gal stock tank. As others have noted, the seal is achieved by the gasket and not the threads. All that was needed was to tighten the bulkhead nut a lot (obviously not to the point of cracking) using channellock pliers. No sealant/chemicals/tape required.

You're right: the thread dimensions were exactly what I needed / couldn't find!

Nothing is home made

thanks for this... did it end up working out? did it leak at all ?

Thank you! We had three leak couldnt find issue. Two no gasket and none had the tape so we appreciate the video.

Where did u buy the reducer???? I can’t find one

Thanks for the video. I recently bought this stock tank and your video assisted me in the modification. Much appreciated.

You solved both of my issues! Thanks!

Your last comment is just what brought me here. I needed the size! Thanks

I Amour All, my stock tank to give years of protection! Boy does it soak in the plastic. ALL OVER! INSIDE OUT SIDE! on the bottom, under the top rail, AMOUR ALL IT EVERY WHERE

I love my Rubbermaid 100 gal stock tank. When you buy your new stock tank! MAKE SURE THE DRAIN VALVE is tighten. You need some big Channel locks. To tighten the nut. on the stock tank, NOT THE DRAIN PLUG! The tanks drain adapter OK Mine was loose. but it never did leak, I just took my finger to see if it was tight? and it was NOT! I would never known this? if i wasn't putting a filter pump on the drain

I'am going to use the drain on mine, for a filter pump > its 1.5 outlet. So 1.5 nipple down to 1.25 hose out let EASY AS PIE, Then take the inlet hose just throw it over the top down into the tanks i can use plastic ties to hold the inlet hose in place. Love the holes around the top to

Thank you for sharing. It was the exact solution I was looking for.

Im putting together a cold plunge tank in 2023 and this video gave me the solution I'm looking for! thank you!

You have link to where you bought the parts ? Ty

Great video! I am going to put my tank on some concrete blocks or used 4X4 sections to raise it off the ground for ease of screwing the hose on. Thanks again.

hi you know how I can clean a stock tank like your with white stain of chlorine ?

I agree! Not adequet for quail! I had the same issue with this machine. Fully developed in shell and dead. I use the extra hole for the external humidier and this machine needs another hole for air.

The heating pad under is great and not directly under but elevated above the heating pad on low. I used coasters under the corners of the machine and it worked great constand 99.5! Find her video its called 100% hatch rate! RU-vid

Ive had horrible hatch rates with this on my quail. Out of 44 eggs i got 6! The trays make the egg goes in all the wrong directions and after i did a 100% hatch rate of chicken eggs. I called this morning they tell me they should be like a 75 % hatchrate or more but i got two horrible hatchrates for quail and 100% for chicken. I think those egg turners need to be changed for quail

Thank you for this video! I needed to drain my tub but the drain is far away. This solves my problem!

Thank you so much. Do you have any problem getting the hose to connect?

Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this video

Why don't you buy the digital humidifier. It should take care of the problems. Also use blue foam to fill the gap between the egg turner to keep the eggs rolling properly. Cut them at the same angle so the eggs keep a small amount of pressure to jeep them in place. Just a thought. 🙂

Clear tubing is better...... then you see the flow...... they sell this same setup at Walmart and harbor freight.......with clear tubing.......its called a siphon pump

Will this valve set up burst if kept outside in the winter?

Will it burst if kept outside in the winter?

You rock! Thank you so very much for the info and the sizes.

Use these tanks for our divers on our college team, this was immeasurably helpful!!! Thank you for a clear, concise, informative video

Question should the holes be smaller? I have some 6’ pvc pipes around. Glenn thanks

so helpful. Thanks you!

Found an abandoned baby quail today, or should I say she found me! She ran straight at me and sat on my foot. I live in southern Oregon. I looked around and waited for mamma to show, but nothing. What should I do?

Thanks for not wasting our time by drilling holes

Thanks for posting. What size of channel locks did you use to tighten the bulkhead? I might have messed up my bulkhead with some undersized channel locks.

great job at everything and thank you very much for sharing all this wonderful and helpful information!

A damp paper towel or hand towel under your cutting board will save you a trip to the hospital.

I found the reducer at home Depot

Thanks!!!!

Terimakasih, ini informasi penting yang bermanfaat

Simple is usually better. Thanks!

My wife and I had a similar idea, except mounted outside the cage and a quarter of it cut out down the length of the PVC pipe for their heads and then cutting holes in the caging for their heads and having it mounted to the cage. So basically a 3/4 circle trough. This is even better and surprisingly doesn't take up any room inside the cage and is more similar to the Tupperware containers with holes cut in them everyone loves as a cheap no waste feeder. Only problem with them is they take up more room inside the cage and eggs apparently always get hung up on them. This is the perfect combination of those Tupperware container ones with holes and a trough or J-feeder. Love it, this is what I'm going to use. It's small and unobtrusive, very cheap and easy to do and everything the Tupperware containers are not. No eggs are getting hung up on that on a tilted floor cage with egg catcher. Might just have to fasten it to the back with wire so it doesn't slide forward on a tilted floor cage. Love your logic too "end caps? Lol, too expensive and no need, this thin little cap will do just fine and only a buck". Bravo, I've done the same with other projects with PVC too, just glue or caulk (or tape like you did) a blow off cap or those thin slip over caps (frequently blue or red in color) like they also sell in with the ABS and PVC piping, if doing something which does not require strength or good watertight sealing.
