Aquarium Hose AQUA DELLA 16/22 mm, 3 m — flexible tubing for water flow and filtration

AQUA DELLA aquarium hose with a 16/22 mm profile and 3 m length is a flexible tubing solution designed for directing water flow in aquarium plumbing. The hose connects external filters, pumps and other water-moving devices, providing a reliable conduit between intake and outlet points. Constructed for compatibility with standard 16 mm inner and 22 mm outer fittings, it is suitable for both freshwater and marine aquaria and for general-purpose aquarium plumbing tasks such as siphoning, filter lines and equipment hookups.

Advantages

The hose offers flexibility that makes routing around tanks and cabinets straightforward while maintaining shape under light bends. Its dual-diameter design ensures secure fitment with common aquarium fittings and connectors. Manufactured from materials suitable for aquatic use, the tubing resists kinking under normal installation and provides a smooth internal surface to reduce flow resistance and debris buildup.

Suitable for

• Connecting external filters to aquarium inlet/outlet fittings
• Linking pumps to distribution manifolds or return lines
• Siphoning and water change operations
• Routing plumbing for freshwater and marine hobby setups
• Temporary or permanent equipment hookups in aquaria

Key specifications

• Inner diameter: approximately 16 mm
• Outer diameter: approximately 22 mm
• Length: 3 metres
• Material: flexible aquarium-grade tubing suitable for contact with water
• Compatibility: fits standard 16 mm inner / 22 mm outer aquarium fittings and connectors
• Color: transparent or translucent (allows visual inspection of flow)

How to use

Measure and cut the 3 m hose to the required length using a sharp utility knife or hose cutter, ensuring a clean straight cut for a tight seal. Push the inner section firmly onto the matching 16 mm barbed fittings or adapters and slide the outer section over 22 mm connectors where applicable; use hose clamps if a pressure-tight connection is required. Route the hose to avoid sharp kinks and secure it in place with clips or ties if necessary. For siphoning or temporary water changes, attach the hose to the pump or filter outlet following manufacturer safety instructions.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the hose periodically for signs of wear, hardening or biofilm build-up; clean or replace the tubing as part of routine maintenance. When using with pumps, ensure clamps are tightened appropriately to prevent leaks. For long-term installations, avoid constant exposure to direct sunlight and secure the hose to prevent strain on fittings.
