Red Sea ReefMat 1200 Hose Connector Kit
The seals that stop a slow drip becoming a sump overflow. This is Red Sea's genuine hose connector kit for the ReefMat 1200 – the coupling fittings and seals that join the inlet hose to the filter body. Fit it when the original seals have hardened or perished, or when you've disassembled the plumbing for a hose swap and want fresh seals rather than reusing old ones.

Symptom this fixes
A weeping or slow-dripping joint where the inlet hose meets the ReefMat 1200 body, usually from a hardened or perished O-ring rather than a cracked hose. If the hose itself is kinked, split or degraded, the inlet hose spare is what you want – this kit is the seals and couplers, not the hose.
What it doesn't fit
This kit is sized for the ReefMat 1200. The ReefMat 250 and 500 use different connector hardware – check with us before ordering if you're not sure which model you have.
Fitting it
Replace connector seals any time the plumbing has been disassembled – reusing an old O-ring after a hose has been off is the single most common source of a "mystery" cabinet drip. No tools beyond your hands are needed; hand-tighten the fitting until it's snug, not forced.
Goes well with
- Genuine inlet hose (R35469) – pair a new hose with fresh seals if you're replacing both at once.
- Red Sea ReefMat 1200 – the filter this kit is made for.

Common questions
Do I need this kit or a whole new hose?
If the hose itself is intact and only the connection is dripping, this kit's seals are usually enough. If the hose is kinked, cracked or has lost flexibility, replace the hose instead.
Will this fit my ReefMat 500 or 250?
No – this kit is specific to the ReefMat 1200. The smaller models use different connector hardware.
Do I need any tools to fit it?
No. It's a hand-tightened push-fit connection.
