Description

If your cabinet is tight (whose isn’t?), bulky connectors can make hose routing a puzzle. At only 151 mm in length, this Chihiros double-valve connector keeps things neat and accessible while still giving you instant shut-off and a clean, drip-free disconnect.

Close the taps, press the release, and your filter lifts out — no wet sleeves, no towel pile on the floor. The ABS body and rubber O-rings are designed to provide a snug, reliable seal so maintenance is faster and less messy, week after week.

Choose the size that matches your hose, or use the reducer model when your inflow/outflow or inline gear differs. It’s a simple upgrade that pays for itself every water change — especially in planted tanks and aquascapes where tidy plumbing matters as much as performance.

Why aquarists like it

  • Ultra-compact body — easier fit in crowded cabinets and nano setups.
  • Double-valve design for instant flow shut-off and clean disconnection.
  • ABS construction with rubber O-rings for a tight, leak-resistant seal.
  • Sizes: 12/16 mm, 16/22 mm, and 16/22 ↔ 12/16 mm reducer.
  • Reusable and straightforward to install on standard canister filter hoses.

Choosing your size/model: Match the connector to your hose (12/16 mm or 16/22 mm). Pick the reducer if your two lines or inline equipment differ in size.

Built for aquascapers who want function and form — and a bone-dry floor — in perfect harmony.
