Eheim double taps..

[jack-rythm]

Hi guys.. I have 2 single eheim 12mm taps and I want to upgrade to 2x double taps..
Now looking at the photos on ebay they just look like to single taps pushed together and joined with a small grey thread bit to connect them.. can i just order another 2 single taps and join them together some how? rather than buy 2x new double taps??

One is a socket and one is a plug, so you can't just join two taps, you'll need a matching pair.

Another way for eheim to make a little extra cash. Those single taps are utter sh!?. Impossible to clean or swoons filter without getting water everywhere!

Hi all,
I prefer the double-taps, but as you have 2 all ready you could buy 2 more single taps, and just have a run of hose between the old tap and the new tap. That way the only water you can spill is in the connector section.

Been meaning to get some of these for a long time, but just to place between the CO2 reactor to remove it for cleaning! which is always a pain! lol
