Fluval FX4/FX5/FX6 Giant Ribbed Hosing
One length, both hose runs. This is genuine Fluval A20236 ribbed hosing for the FX4, FX5 and FX6 canister filter, sold here as a 4 metre length — the Australian pack size, longer than the 3 metre length Fluval lists on its US site. Cut it to size for the intake and output runs between filter and tank.
Key features
- Genuine Fluval A20236 — ribbed wall and bore match the FX Series fittings, unlike generic aquarium tubing.
- Ribbed construction resists kinking — holds its bore open around bends behind a cabinet.
- 4 metres covers both runs — enough for a typical intake-and-output install, depending on cabinet distance.
- Fixes the usual cause of a flow drop — a stiffened or kinked hose restricts flow before the impeller does.

What's included
- 1 x 4 metre length of ribbed hosing, cut to size by the customer
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for hosing that's stiffened, cracked, algae-stained beyond cleaning, or kinked from a tight cabinet run. Not suitable for the smaller rubber connectors at the intake and output nozzles — those are a separate part.
Goes well with
- FX4/FX5/FX6 Metal Hose Clamp Pair (A20234) — secures the hose at each barbed joint
- FX4/FX5/FX6 AquaStop Valve (A20216) — lets you disconnect the new hose for future services
Warranty and delivery
Supplied as a genuine Fluval replacement part. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply in full and nothing here limits them. Fluval does not quote a separate warranty term on wear parts. Ships as a standard small parcel anywhere in Australia.
Common questions
Is 4 metres enough for both the intake and output hoses?
Usually, for a filter sitting in or near the tank's own cabinet. A filter set further away may need a second length — measure your existing run first.
Why does Fluval's US site list this as 3 metres?
Pack length varies by market. This listing is the Australian distributor's 4 metre pack, under the same Fluval part number.
