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.

That's a fair question. I did buy the version with the buckets. I have found it difficult to pull lids off of other 5 gallon pails. One would have been enough, but I liked the hole all set for the gasket and hex bolts. I have yet to use the supplied wheels. With woodworking and drywall repair I fine the Oneida system a real value. Good luck!

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

They are difficult to attach, my husband had to do it and he used a lot of force. Atleast you know they are staying in place. Great bucket for the price. We use it everyday.

I've reused the "bucket" and hose several times now, and prefer it to regular enema "bulbs". I still think it needs a better hose clamp. I have not tried any of the rest of the set as I don't think they are necessary. Also would probably be messier if you tried to reuse them.

I think that is correct on the rotation of the nut. I think the reason they are tight is because of the lubricant they have applied? I used my drill to run them in and out a few times and seemed to get better. I am going to get some dry graphite spray on lubricant to see if that helpes.

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

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'd bring it to a hardware store and find something that will fit the threads. They're a strange size though, so good luck.

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!

I am not sure, I installed them on the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket, and used silicon. It worked out good. If you were to use regular pipe fittings you should be fine with Teflon tape or pipe dope.

We used a Home Depot bucket and it worked fine. I assume all 5 gal buckets are the same, though.

Yes, you need to provide your own water container (we used a 5 gal bucket from Home Depot), then drill holes to install the nipples. The container would not have to hang, but obviously you loose capacity if you drill holes someplace other than near the bottom of the bucket.

Yes, that is correct. The bolts go vertically, down into the bowl, not horizontally into the tank. Michael is correct that they do need to be periodically tightened, but only with fingers. The bolts are nice and large and easily tightened by hand. However, he is wrong about the bolts going into the tank. They don't.

No. The inside threads are standard 1/2" NPT, the outside threads are some odd size.

No threads, they are a couple of different sizes. So key is to use size that fits snug, then slight twist and pull and they come right off.
