Review on 🐠 Pawfly 2-3 Way Cross Aquarium Gang Valve - Air Flow Control Lever Valve Distributor Splitter with Check Valves, Suction Cups & Airline Connectors for Fish Tank by Jill Ramos

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Stronger than plastic

Update: I removed this star a month later. Although it is durable, attaching and detaching standard sized aquarium hoses is really problematic. Basically I had to cut the tubing to get it off the valve. Don't rely on recycling short tubes as you will have to cut more to remove them. On the plus side, this offers constant customization. Original Rating: I really like that it's metal and not plastic. It's heavier than plastic and looks solid. I actually set it up to split the airline in two for a hydroponic system. Suction cup holders work well; although I had to use some diluted corn syrup to really get them stuck to my grow box (glycerin works well too). My only complaint is that the connecting hoses are a bit large and I had to lubricate them with some dish soap to get the hoses to slide over them. If you go this route, just make sure the soap is on the sides and not next to the valve clearances so the soap doesn't get into your lines. Another complaint is that the extra check valve was even thicker than metal, so I just couldn't fit tubing on it (even with soapy grease) and used a spare valve instead.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others
