The nipple assembly screws right into your container,so additional tools will NOT be needed. Drill a hole a few inches up from thebottom of the container. Screw the threaded chicken nipple directly into thehole. Screw in the threaded chicken nipple so that when you are finished thenipple tray is in the 6 o’clock position. The chicken nipple will come to youalready assembled! The exploded view may help you to understand how it works.In the resting position the black o-ring (on the far right) seals the poultrynipple.
