EheimDouble Tap With Quick Disconnect Coupling 12/16 [Misc.]

Fantastic product, easy to put on, very good quality of valves, easy to operate, no leaks. Good value for Money. Used that before for years and never had any issues with this so very happy customer again. Very easy to create special additional loop to add for example temporarily UV lamp to the system or Nitrate filters etc..... or just makes life easier when disconnecting external filters.

Made in Germany.Even when you have a shut off in your filter, these things are great.Just turn off the filter, shut off the upper tap, shut off the lower tap, disconnect the pair and no leakage.They are also very useful for switching inlet or outlet pipes with no fuss.And... you can use them to regulate flow (despite what anyone says).

Installed and working as a semi automatic draining system on my main aquarium .Their are no installation instructions so wasn't sure how the screw threads worked with the hose connected but managed to find a youtube video showing you leave them attatched , push warmed hose onto ends then screw nuts back down onto hose , creating a lock , which keeps the 12/16 mm hose from coming off !Like most eheim products its well made but overpriced !The quick unscrew disconnect works very well for me .I have a lily pipe permanently attached to my tank/some hose/this quick disconnect tap fot semi automatic water drainage .Would buy again .Can recommend .This is my honest opinion .I believe it's important to leave a review of an item , as it helps others make an informed decision .Any questions ? Feel free to ask .Happy shopping fish people 🐠 .

Sooo much easier and faster to disconnect the filter for cleaning. No leaking noted but remember to lubricate the seals.

There’s no getting away from it, these are expensive. But, they are worth the money. Nice and easy way to isolate the flow to and from the filter. I use them to isolate a pre-filter before the main unit and the double taps work wonders for taking the pre-filter out of line for cleaning. Excellent product.

works perfectly on the 12/16mm hose. You turn the taps at both ends then unscrew the retaining nut and the thing just pulls apart with a small amount of drips from each end so use a towel if you have something you need to keep dry underneath it. I mean its a bit expensive but frankly you cant be without this and it should really come with the ehiem filters from the start. Anyways, it works pretty much perfectly.

Does the job for a quick release on my Eheim external cannister saving any watery mess. Quite a bit expensive though for a plastic item , none the less good quality.

Works well enough, but has terrible instructions.You can do without this on the Eheim Classic, but it does make maintainance somewhat easier, and it earns 3 points for that, but loses points since it's easy to not connect this securely...
