Active Aqua 3/4" Straight Connector - Pack of 10

A straight connector joins two separate lengths of tubing into a single continuous run. In hydroponic systems, this is commonly needed when extending an existing line, repairing a cut or damaged section of tubing, or connecting tubing from two separate components — such as a pump outlet to a feed manifold. The straight design maintains full flow diameter through the connection without restricting the line.

Yes — the 3/4" straight connector is compatible with Active Aqua 3/4" ID Black Vinyl Tubing and any other flexible 3/4" ID tubing. The barbed ends grip the tubing interior securely when pushed fully onto the barbs, creating a leak-free seal without clamps under normal operating pressure.

For most standard hydroponic pump pressures, the barbed connection holds securely without clamps when the tubing is pushed fully onto the barbs. In higher-pressure applications or where tubing may be subject to tension or movement, adding hose clamps over the tubing at each barbed end provides additional security and prevents the tubing from pulling off the connector under load.

Active Aqua offers a range of fittings and connectors across multiple tubing sizes to support different hydroponic configurations. If your system uses 1/2" fittings, check the Active Aqua catalog for the corresponding size. Using a correctly sized connector for each line in your system ensures consistent flow and leak-free connections throughout.

Yes — as long as both tubing lengths have a 3/4" inside diameter, the connector will work regardless of tubing brand. The barbed design is a universal standard that seats into any flexible tubing matching the specified ID. Just ensure both sections of tubing are pushed fully onto the barbs for a secure, leak-free joint.
