Hose aqua nova WĄŻ 12/16mm 1M — aquarium tubing 12x16 mm, 1 m length

aqua nova WĄŻ 12/16mm 1M is a flexible aquarium hose designed for water circulation, filtration connections and air lines in both freshwater and marine aquaria. With a nominal inner diameter of 12 mm and outer diameter of 16 mm, this 1 m length tubing provides a standard-size connection for pumps, filter inlets, external filtration systems and general plumbing tasks within aquarium setups.

Advantages

The hose is made from flexible, durable material that resists kinking and allows easy routing in limited spaces. Its consistent inner and outer diameters ensure a reliable fit with common aquarium fittings and connectors. The neutral, transparent appearance helps it blend into the aquarium environment while maintaining water flow performance for circulation and filtration.

Suitable for

• Connecting pump outlets to filters or spray bars
• Linking external canister filters to aquarium bulkheads
• Airline connections for external air pumps and airstones
• Temporary or permanent plumbing runs in freshwater and marine tanks

Key specifications

• Inner diameter: 12 mm
• Outer diameter: 16 mm
• Length: 1 m
• Material: flexible transparent tubing suitable for aquarium use
• Compatibility: standard 12/16 mm aquarium fittings and connectors

How to use

Select appropriate clamps or hose connectors sized for 12/16 mm tubing and cut the hose to the required length with a sharp, clean tool to ensure square ends. Push the hose fully onto barbed fittings or over smooth connectors, then secure with metal or plastic clamps to prevent leaks. Route the hose to avoid sharp bends and pinching; when used with pumps, ensure inlet ends are positioned to prevent air entrainment and maintain uninterrupted flow.

Usage recommendations

Before initial use, rinse the hose with dechlorinated water to remove manufacturing residues. Inspect periodically for signs of wear, discoloration or stiffness and replace when elasticity degrades. Use stainless-steel clamps in marine environments to reduce corrosion risk; avoid exposure to solvents and direct sunlight to prolong service life.
