Active Aqua 1/2 in Elbow Connector

The Active Aqua 1/2 in Elbow Connector is a barbed 90-degree elbow that directs nutrient solution lines around corners in your hydroponic system without kinking the tubing. When 1/2 in tubing is bent to change direction, flow rate is restricted and the material cracks over time; this connector prevents that problem.

Benefits

• 90-degree bend keeps flow stable at system turns.
• High-strength polypropylene, tolerant to chemicals and nutrient solutions.
• Barbed ends firmly hold tubing in place, without glue.
• Compatible with Active Aqua and most standard 1/2 in inner diameter hydroponic tubing.
• Reusable: disassembles, rinses, and reinstalls for the next cycle.

How to use

Firmly push the 1/2 in inner diameter tubing onto both barbed ends until it is well seated. Use hose clamps for added security in high-flow applications. Rinse the connector with clean water between crop cycles and periodically check for looseness or cracks.

Available at Pachamama with shipping throughout Costa Rica.
