Active Aqua 3/4" ID Black Tubing 100'

The Active Aqua 3/4" ID Black Tubing 100' is a 100-foot roll of black vinyl tubing with a 3/4-inch internal diameter, for high-volume lines from the reservoir to the grow trays. The black color blocks light and prevents algae from forming inside the line, a common problem when nutrient solution circulates through clear tubing. It is flexible, BPA-free vinyl and safe for contact with water.

Benefits

• 100 ft roll: enough to assemble or reassemble a complete system without unnecessary connections.
• 3/4 inch internal diameter (0.938 inch external) for high flow filling and return rates.
• Opaque black vinyl that prevents light passage and algae growth inside the hose.
• BPA-free and suitable for water and nutrient solutions.
• Compatible with standard 3/4 in ID barbed connectors, elbows, and plugs.

How to use

Cut to size with a sharp blade for a clean, square end. If the fitting is tight, heat the tip for a few seconds in warm water to soften the vinyl and insert it all the way in; secure with clamps on pressurized sections. Store unused tubing loosely coiled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
