Chihiros Double Tap Quick Connector

Chihiros Double Tap Quick Connector

The Chihiros Double Tap Quick Connector is a precision-designed valve system tailored to simplify maintenance on aquarium canister and external filter systems. Featuring a double-valve design, it allows you to quickly shut off water flow and safely disconnect hoses for cleaning or servicing—without the hassle or mess of uncontrolled drainage.

Constructed using durable ABS material with corrosion-resistant properties, the unit is built to withstand long-term exposure to aquarium systems. It also incorporates rubber O-rings to ensure a reliable, leak-free connection, giving you confidence in use.

One of the standout advantages is its versatility in hose sizing: you’ll find standard versions (e.g., 12/16 mm or 16/22 mm) as well as a reducer type (16/22mm to 12/16mm) to match different tubing or adapt between sizes. Because the body has been refined to reduced height, it’s particularly well-suited for tight spaces behind aquariums or in cabinets where every centimetre counts.

Usage Tips & Compatibility:
When you’re servicing your external filter—whether cleaning media, tubing or replacing components—the Double Tap allows you to isolate the hose line without shutting off the entire system or risking water spilling. Use the valves to stop both inlet and outlet flow, disconnect quickly, do your work, then re-connect and resume with minimal disruption. Periodically inspect the O-rings and ensure all connections are secure before returning the system to full flow.

With the Double Tap Quick Connector, you get a smart, durable solution that streamlines routine maintenance, keeps your system clean, and minimizes risk of leaks or drips—ideal for serious hobbyists who value efficiency and reliability in their filtration setup.
