Star Valve 4MM - 4Way

Description

A star valve, also known as a 4-way valve, is an accessory used in aquarium air systems to distribute air from a single source (such as an air pump) to four different destinations. The 4mm size indicates compatibility with standard 4mm air tubing. This type of valve is particularly useful for managing multiple air-driven devices in a single aquarium setup.

Features of a 4mm 4-Way Star Valve

1. Design: Shaped like a star or cross, with four connection points for air tubing.
2. Material: Typically made from durable plastic or metal for longevity.
3. Size: Fits standard 4mm air tubing, making it suitable for most aquarium air systems.

Benefits

• Air Distribution: Allows you to split the air flow from one source into four separate lines, efficiently distributing air to multiple devices.
• Versatility: Can be used with various air-driven devices such as air stones, sponge filters, or decorations.
• Space-Saving: Reduces the need for multiple air pumps by efficiently managing air distribution.

Installation Steps

1. Cut Air Tubing: Cut the air tubing into appropriate lengths to connect the air pump and the devices.
2. Connect to Air Pump: Attach a piece of tubing from the air pump to the central input of the star valve.
3. Attach Devices: Connect tubing from each of the four output points of the star valve to the respective air-driven devices.
4. Secure Fit: Ensure all tubing connections are snug to prevent air leaks.
