Hi all,

I'm trying to buy some hose/tubing to connect to an Aqua Zonic powerhead.

I have measured the plastic tube it will be connecting to and it's 12mm inside and 15mm outside diameter.

I need to buy a 2-3m length of hose/tube to snuggly attach to this unit, but I can't decide on the diameter of the hose.

IF I get hose that is 15mm inside, will it just slip on an off? I was considering hose with 12mm in 15mm out, but don't know if this will be able to be pushed onto the powerhead or if it will be too tight.

Any one any more clued up than me on this?

Thanks,

G
 
f you match 12mm ID to 12mm ID then this will be fine as stated previously, there is room for movement in flexible plastic hosing. Use a cable tie or hose clip to keep it on if you're worried about it coming off.
 
Thanks for the replies...
