Find a productProduct description
This connector suits aquarists who service a canister filter and want to stop the flow and detach the hoses without losing water onto the floor or pulling water back into the aquarium. It replaces the usual mess of clamping or lifting hoses during cleaning with a closing valve on each side.
Why it matters
- Two valves: each side closes independently, so the flow stops before the hoses come off.
- Drip-free disconnection: the valves keep water from dripping out of the hoses during removal.
- ABS body: the tool-free design is made of corrosion-resistant ABS, which handles constant contact with aquarium water.
- Rubber seals: gaskets at the connection points maintain a tight seal and can be reused for repeated service.
