This ball valve is designed for aquarists who run a filter on a 12/16 mm hose and need to stop the flow or adjust it without disconnecting anything. It is most useful where accessories such as an inline heater or a UV lamp sit on the filter line.
Why it matters
- Lets you stop water flowing out of or into the filter, so the hose can be opened for servicing without draining the tank.
- Smooth adjustment of the flow rate, so the amount of water passing through the filter can be reduced when needed.
- Fits on the filter hose itself, so it can be placed directly on the line where an inline heater or UV unit is mounted.
