Aquarium Air Pump Splitter 16 in 1 Set 5-Way Air Flow Control Lever Valve & 5 Non-Return Check Valves & 10 Suction Cups for Fish Tank Airline Air Tube Hose

I have three low tech nano aquariums on my desk that all need different rates of airflow. A shrimp tank, a betta tank, and a snail tank. I had originally daisychained a bunch of valves together as a temporary procedure until I was able to get this 3 way gang valve. Now, everything looks nice and neat, and I love that it came with extra check valves, which I probably don't need, but always add anyway. I also recieved the product faster than I thought I would, which is always a huge plus.

The three-way valve is metal and splits the air flow to the under gravel filter and an air stone. Increase or decrease the air flow to each with the handles that are easily adjusted. Tubing fits snugly without air leaks.The non-return valves have to be in the correct direction with the pointed part of the valve facing the direction of the pump for the air to flow. So far no back flow to the pump. Everything works without issue and was easy to assemble.

not super happy with this product. the valves are all messed up and very sensitive to adjustment. i have 2 lines going out with the last outlet closed. the air flow goes to one tiny sponge filter and one air stone and the flow absolutely sucks. i know it’s this valve and not my air pump bc i tested the air pump on other valves/equipment. so i wouldn’t suggest this specific split.

I bought two of these and they're nice air line splitters. Appears to be a chrome coated metal because it's not stainless steel, it's non-ferrous metal as magnets don't stick. One set had a bad check valve that won't pass air in either direction. Fortunately I have extra check valves. All components fit snugly on 1/4" ID silicone airline.

Frankly I was hoping for more out of these. I bought the two-way splitter, and I figured they would work better than the cheap plastic twist kind. When you attach two bubblers to this kind of thing, you need to fiddle with it a bit to get both lines balanced and the right amount of air flowing to each, right? Well after about 5 adjustments, air is now leaking out of the bottom of the valve. I'm quite disappointed with this actually.

Didn't try the suction cups but it does what I paid for at a low price. Just wish it came with directions, i used the amazon pictures to see where and how the pieces go in. Kind of tight going into the tubing and couldn't get it in the tubing all the way. It is a little tight to turn the knobs as I need them to only push a small amount of air as I am using it in my sea monkey ocean tank. Now I don't have to manually aerate so I'm happy about that

I like the build quality and the suction cup feature but they don't hold on very strong and the valves are sensitive like the smallest adjustment makes a huge difference the bubbles are either full blast or nothing at all but maybe I just got a bad one 😉

The split is rather small and uses a gate valve style rather than a ball style valve. This means that there is no stop to the valves as the handles can be spun in a 360 motion leaving setting up air flow to guess work. If the product were made a little wider and quarter turn stops were installed in place of the current valves, the product would be flawless.

Does the job as needed
