Aquarium Filter Inlet and Spray Bar Kit for 0.6 in (16 mm) Hose

This black plastic pipe set connects an aquarium’s filter inlet and water return. The inlet ends in a slotted strainer, while the long spray-bar outlet spreads returning water along a row of openings. Curved pipe sections carry the lines over the tank edge.

The set fits hose with a 0.63-inch internal diameter and a 0.87-inch outside diameter. The inlet pipe measures 17.1 inches long, and the spray-bar outlet measures 19.3 inches. Compare both hose dimensions and the available tank space before choosing; the hose connection measurement does not describe the aquarium glass thickness.

The inlet and return can be positioned to suit the tank layout, with the spray bar arranged along the water surface. Check the connections and mounting position before starting the filter, then observe the water return and adjust the arrangement as needed. Keep the inlet strainer clear of substrate and loose plant material.

During routine aquarium maintenance, rinse debris from the strainer and spray-bar holes and check the plastic connections for damage. Follow your filter’s cleaning and restart directions, and confirm the water path is clear before returning the system to use.
