Active Aqua 1 in Elbow Connector

The Active Aqua 1 in Elbow Connector is a 90-degree barbed elbow that allows you to turn your nutrient solution line around corners in your hydroponic system without bending the hose. When a 1 in hose is bent to change direction, the flow rate drops, and the material eventually cracks; this connector solves that problem.

Benefits

• Clean 90-degree bend that maintains flow rate when changing direction.
• Heavy-duty polypropylene, resistant to chemicals and concentrated nutrient solutions.
• Barbed ends that firmly grip the hose, without glue or tools.
• Compatible with Active Aqua and standard 1 in ID hydroponic tubing.
• Reusable part: disconnect, rinse, and reassemble for the next cycle.

How to use

Firmly insert the 1 in ID hose onto both barbed ends, all the way in. In high-flow or pressurized systems, add hose clamps for extra security. Rinse the connector with clean water between growing cycles and check for cracks or looseness.

Available at Pachamama with shipping throughout Costa Rica.
