It's the same valve Red Sea now fits as standard on every REEFER G3 — this kit brings it to earlier G2-generation plumbing. Two kit versions are sold, matched to 32 mm (1\") or 40 mm (1¼\") downpipe, so the pipe lengths and reducers are already correct for your plumbing rather than something you have to source separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision ReefGate valve\u003c\/strong\u003e — an ergonomic handwheel moves the gate roughly 1 mm per rotation, giving fine enough control to tune a downpipe from a rushing trickle down to silent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePositive shut-off\u003c\/strong\u003e — close the valve fully to isolate the downpipe for maintenance without draining the display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-plastic, reef-safe construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — nothing in the flow path that leaches into the water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatched kit contents\u003c\/strong\u003e — pipe lengths, reducers and unions sized to your downpipe diameter, sold as two separate kit versions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard on every REEFER G3\u003c\/strong\u003e — if you're on a G2 or Peninsula and want the same quiet, isolatable overflow, this kit is how you get it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValve adjustment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGate valve, approx. 1 mm of travel per handwheel rotation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReef-safe plastic throughout\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed Sea REEFER G2 (170–900) and Peninsula systems with 32 mm or 40 mm downpipe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAlready fitted on\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eREEFER G3, as standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e32 mm \/ 1\" kit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e40 mm \/ 1¼\" kit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMAX72u\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMAX72v\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDownpipe section\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e112 mm length, 32 mm PVC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e106 mm length, 40 mm PVC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eElbow\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90°, 32 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90°, 40 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReefGate valve\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 mm (1¼\") valve body, reduced to 32 mm via fittings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 mm (1¼\") valve body, native fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReducers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 40 mm-to-32 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x 40 mm-to-32 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUnions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 32 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x 40 mm, 1 x 32 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eExtra pipe\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 32 mm pipes, 46 mm each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x 40 mm pipe (48.5 mm), 1 x 32 mm pipe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure the outside diameter of the pipe leaving your overflow chamber before ordering — 32 mm and 40 mm are Red Sea's two common downpipe sizes, and the wrong kit's reducers won't line up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReefGate valve (40 mm \/ 1¼\" body, both kit versions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePipe sections, elbow, reducer(s) and union(s) sized to the selected kit version, listed in the table above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNot included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePVC solvent cement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePipe-cutting tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting instructions — Red Sea's kit doesn't include a step-by-step cutting guide, so budget for a confident DIYer or a professional install if you haven't solvent-welded aquarium plumbing before\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for REEFER G2 and Peninsula owners on 32 mm or 40 mm downpipe who want fine flow tuning or a proper shut-off point in the overflow line.
