A20026
Fluval 05/06/07 Series Hose Bracket Rim Connector
Stops the intake and output hoses drifting away from the tank rim. The Fluval aquarium rim connector is the moulded bracket that hooks over the aquarium rim and holds the ribbed intake and output hosing at a fixed spacing, so the strainer and the spray bar stay where you set them instead of being pushed about by flow. This is genuine Hagen part A20026. Fluval lists it for the 05, 06 and 07 Series canister filters, and it is supplied as the bracket alone, without rubber bands.
Key features
- Genuine Fluval A20026 — the number in Fluval's own 05, 06 and 07 Series parts lists
- Holds both hoses at once — intake and output kept apart at a set spacing
- Hooks over the rim — no suction cups to lose grip on algae film, no drilling
- Keeps the strainer at depth — the intake stays put instead of creeping toward the surface

Will it fit my filter?
The model number is on the canister body and under the motor head. Fluval documents the A20026 against these twelve models.
| Series | Models |
|---|---|
| 05 Series | 105, 205, 305, 405 |
| 06 Series | 106, 206, 306, 406 |
| 07 Series | 107, 207, 307, 407 |
Fluval's current parts documentation does not list the A20026 against the older 04 Series — the 104, 204, 304 and 404. If you run an 04, compare it with your existing bracket before ordering.
It also needs a rim to hook over. A rimless tank, or one with a wide timber capping, may give the bracket nothing to sit on.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
- Suits a bracket gone brittle, cracked, or snapped at the hook
- Suits hosing that keeps sliding along the rim or drooping into the tank
- Not a hose repair part — split or perished ribbed hosing is replaced separately
- Not suitable where there is no rim to hook over
What's included
- One aquarium rim connector
Supplied without rubber bands. Hosing, the intake strainer and the output nozzle are separate parts.
Goes well with
- Hose-lock nuts (A20059) — the collars that clamp hosing onto the AquaStop
- Primer assembly (A20021) — restores self-priming on 06 Series canisters
- Intake strainer (A20008) — replace if cracked or clogged beyond cleaning
Warranty and delivery
Supplied as a genuine Fluval service part. Any manufacturer's warranty applies in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, which are not limited by it. Ships as a standard small parcel.
Common questions
Which Fluval filters does the A20026 rim connector fit?
The Fluval A20026 aquarium rim connector fits the 05 Series (105, 205, 305, 405), the 06 Series (106, 206, 306, 406) and the 07 Series (107, 207, 307, 407) canister filters. Fluval lists the same part across all three generations.
Does the A20026 come with rubber bands?
No. This part is supplied as the rim connector alone, without rubber bands.
Will it fit a Fluval 404 or other 04 Series filter?
Fluval's current parts documentation lists the A20026 for the 05, 06 and 07 Series only, and does not show it against the 04 Series. Compare it with your existing bracket before ordering.
How many rim connectors does one filter need?
One. A single connector carries both the intake and the output hose, so a second is only needed if a second canister runs on the same aquarium.
