Routing tubing around a tight corner without a proper fitting means kinks, and a kinked line chokes off flow no matter how good the pump or filter behind it is. The Dymax Stainless Steel U Pipe gives airline and CO2 tubing a clean, pre-formed bend to route around instead.
Why a U Pipe Fitting Helps
Bending flexible tubing sharply around equipment, tank edges, or stand corners often creates a kink that partially or fully blocks flow — a problem that can go unnoticed until output drops off. A rigid U-shaped fitting maintains an open bend regardless of how tight the corner is.
What It Offers
- Pre-formed bend that eliminates the kink risk of sharply bent flexible tubing.
- Stainless steel construction for long-term durability in a submerged or high-humidity environment.
- Simple inline fit onto standard airline or CO2 tubing.
Choosing a Size
The U Pipe comes in 12mm and 15mm sizes — match it to your tubing's outer diameter for a proper, kink-free connection.
The Dymax Stainless Steel U Pipe is available at Marine Concept Supply in both sizes — order online or pick up at our shop in Wheeling, IL. Shop the 12mm size or 15mm size, and browse more aquascaping & CO2 supplies.
