FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this bent pipe?
The bent design helps in creating angled connections between pipes, which is useful for routing tubing efficiently around aquarium or terrarium equipment and for simplifying maintenance tasks.
What size tubing does this connect to?
This outlet pipe is designed for Eheim tubing with an inner diameter of 16mm and an outer diameter of 22mm.
Can I use this with non-Eheim equipment?
It is designed for Eheim systems. While it might fit other brands with identical 16/22mm dimensions, compatibility is not guaranteed and a secure fit is essential.
How do I clean the Eheim Outlet Pipe?
You can clean it with a soft brush and mild, aquarium-safe detergent. Rinse it thoroughly with clean water before reinstallation.
Is this product durable?
Yes, it is manufactured from high-quality, durable materials designed for long-lasting use in aquarium and terrarium environments.
Will the angled design obstruct water flow?
The angle is designed to facilitate connection without significant flow obstruction when properly installed. Ensure the overall tubing run does not have excessively sharp bends.
Troubleshooting
Pipe does not fit securely
Ensure you are connecting it to an Eheim pipe of the correct size (16/22mm). Check for any debris inside the pipe or fitting that might be obstructing a full connection. Try a gentle twist while pushing to seat it properly.
Leaking connection
Disconnect and re-seat the pipe, ensuring it is fully inserted. Check the condition of any seals or O-rings on the connected component. Inspect the pipe itself for any cracks or damage.
Flow seems restricted
Ensure the angle of the pipe is not causing a sharp bend in the tubing itself. Clean the inside of the pipe and any connected tubing for blockages or algae buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, simply push the Eheim Outlet Pipe onto the corresponding Eheim pipe or fitting. Ensure a firm, secure connection to prevent leaks. The angled design should be positioned to achieve the desired pipe routing.
Compatibility: This pipe is suitable for all Eheim pipe types and is compatible with most Eheim filters and aeration systems that use 16/22mm tubing. While it is designed for Eheim systems, it may fit other brands with identical outer and inner diameters, but this is not guaranteed.
Care: Clean the outlet pipe periodically with a soft brush and aquarium-safe cleaner to remove any algae or debris. Rinse thoroughly before reattaching. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the material or harm aquatic life.
