This roll suits barbs and spigots in the 16–20 mm range; if your fitting is larger, the 20–26 mm roll is the better match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for freshwater and marine aquarium filtration plumbing, sump returns and pond pump lines within the 16–20 mm bore range. Not suitable for fittings outside this range — forcing an undersized or oversized hose onto a barb is a common cause of a slow leak or a hose working loose under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect tubing periodically where it passes over sharp edges or is exposed to UV light outdoors, as both can shorten its working life. Replace any length that has become brittle, cracked or discoloured rather than waiting for a leak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovered against manufacturing defects under Bioscape's warranty, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

You cut the lengths you need and keep the remainder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat's the difference between this and the 20–26 mm roll?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBore diameter only — this roll is sized for 16–20 mm fittings, the other for 20–26 mm. Match the roll to your equipment's stated hose diameter rather than guessing from the tank size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan I use this outdoors on a pond pump?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can be used for pond plumbing, but tubing left in direct sun for extended periods will degrade faster than tubing run indoors or buried — check it periodically if it's exposed outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54774337798435,"sku":"BIS124","price":175.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/BIS124_1_8ad54914-85d8-4a87-a865-fdb62de760ab.jpg?v=1782868933","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/bioscape-bioscape-plastic-tubing-roll-16-20mm-x-50mtrs","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
