Product Information
Full details
The Oase Y Piece Extension Set is an essential upgrade for pond owners using the Oase Y Distributor who need to integrate 2-inch flexible hosing into their existing filtration or fountain systems. Designed specifically for users looking to maximize flow efficiency when running multiple water features, this set allows for seamless connectivity between your pump and diverse water elements. While it provides an incredibly secure and uniform fit, users should note that it is specialized for 2-inch hose systems and may require specific plumbing awareness for non-standard configurations.

FAQs
Can I use this with non-Oase pumps?
Yes, provided the pump output and the distribution system utilize standard BSP threading or can be adapted to 2-inch connections.
Does this set include the actual Y-distributor body?
No, this is an extension/conversion kit only; you must have the Oase Y Distributor already.
What size hose is required for this set?
This set is specifically designed for 2-inch flexible pond hose.
Can this be used underwater?
Yes, all components in this set are designed to be safe for submerged aquatic use.
Are the threads compatible with standard plumbing fixtures?
The adaptors are 1.5-inch female to 2-inch male BSP, which are standard for many pond-specific pump and filtration systems.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the threaded connection
Ensure the internal gasket is properly seated and the BSP adaptor is tightened sufficiently; avoid over-tightening which can crack plastic.
Hose slipping off the hosetail
Verify that you are using the correct 2-inch hose and ensure a high-quality stainless steel hose clamp is tightened firmly over the connection point.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures a uniform 2-inch connection throughout the system
- High-quality components designed for long-term aquatic use
- Perfect for high-volume setups using Aquarius Eco Premium pumps
- Simplifies installation compared to custom-fitted PVC adapters
Cons
- Specific to 2-inch hose systems; not compatible with smaller diameter setups without extra reducers
- Requires existing Oase Y Distributor for installation
- Black plastic may require camouflaging if used above ground in visible garden areas
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the system, thread the provided BSP adaptors onto your Y-distributor ports until hand-tight, then attach the hosetails. For the best result, use a small amount of silicone-based thread sealant if necessary, though the included gaskets usually provide a sufficient seal. Compatibility is strictly limited to the Oase Y-distributor and 2-inch flexible pond hosing. For maintenance, periodically inspect the hose connections for algae buildup or debris that might impede flow. If you ever need to disassemble the system for winterization, simply unscrew the hosetails from the distributor body to allow for easy draining of the hoses.
