{"product_id":"aquapro-stainless-steel-u-bend-tubing-connector","title":"Aquapro Stainless Steel U-Bend Tubing Connector","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe soft tubing going over the rim is usually the untidy part of any CO2 or air setup. This stainless steel U-bend fixes that. It sits over the edge of the tank and gives the line a clean, fixed path instead of a length of tubing kinking and sagging across the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIt is purely a connector, and it does not care what is flowing through it. Run pressurised CO2 from your regulator to a diffuser, or air from a pump to an air stone or sponge filter. One barbed end takes the line from the source, the other runs on to whatever you are feeding, and the rigid U-shape holds the bend over the rim so nothing flops around or pinches shut. There is no valve, diffuser or check valve built in, so it works with whatever gear you already use rather than locking you into a particular setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe finish is the part aquascapers will appreciate. It is stainless steel underneath, with a matte grey powder coat over the top that is aquarium-safe and durable. Bright steel catches the light and pulls the eye; this matte grey sits quietly against substrate and shadow and stays out of the way of the scape. The coating holds up to the damp and to regular handling without corroding or chipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe ribbed barbed ends grip 4\/6 mm tubing firmly so the line does not creep off under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWorks for both CO2 and air lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCarries the line over the rim with no kinking or sagging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMatte grey powder-coated finish, aquarium-safe and discreet in the scape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePure connector, works with any diffuser, air stone or check valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStainless steel under the coating, corrosion-resistant and holds its shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRibbed barbed ends for a secure grip on 4\/6 mm tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eA check valve somewhere between the source and the tank is still recommended, especially on CO2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e1 × Powder-Coated Stainless Steel U-Bend Tubing Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Aquapro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49227320459506,"sku":"62502-05","price":12.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/9193\/2914\/files\/AquaproStainlessSteelU-BendTubingConnector.jpg?v=1779081706","url":"https:\/\/aquascapeshop.com\/zh\/products\/aquapro-stainless-steel-u-bend-tubing-connector","provider":"The Aquascape Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
