Engineered specifically for marine, reef, and freshwater aquarium setups, this half inch barbed ball valve allows you to fine tune or completely shut off the water flow going through your standard flexible hoses.

Imported directly from the USA, this authentic aquarium tool provides the reliable, long term durability needed to maintain stable aquatic ecosystems without worrying about corrosion or chemical leaching.
