Perfect for DIY Central Air Systems

Whether you're building a fish room, fish store, or other aquatic facility, these metal air valves are perfect for a DIY central air system. They install quickly, are made of sturdy materials, and won't leak.

Easy to Install in Fish Rooms

Use an electric drill and a 3/16th drill bit to drill a hole into the PVC pipe. Remove the drill bit on the drill and insert a metal air valve into the chuck so that the shorter end of the valve is pointed away from the drill. Using the electric drill, slowly screw the valve into one of the pre-drilled holes in the PVC pipe so that the threads bite into drilled hole. Once the valve is close to being all the way seated, loosen the chuck, remove the valve from the drill, and finish hand-tightening the valve to its final position.

Perfect for my linear air loop in my fishroom! These thread in really nicely after drilling the PVC with a 3/16” bit. If you’re building out a fishroom, buy several packs of these. Having plenty of extra on hand is always a good idea!

Gets the job done.

I’ve been using these for about half a year in my fish room and they’ve held up. I’ve received a couple that had the metal chipped on the tips where the airline attaches, but I used them anyway and don’t seem to be having any issues.

Work great for my fish room

I have 29 tanks set up. I run a central air pump and I use these valves for all my drops. The work great and east to install. Corey had some great youtubes on how to do it. Highly recommend only air vavels I use.

Great products

This is first time I’ve used these and went this route having 28 tanks on one air system. Easy to put in and just follow what Cory says with check valves and a air adjuster down low to each tank. Works great. I will be buying more stuff from Aquarium Co-Op. I’m hoping to offer Cory products in my store soon.

Great solid, sturdy valves

These are sturdy, well-built little valves. However, out of the 5 packages I purchased, a single valve was off, and had a different thread size / stem diameter. Not a big deal, i just had to tap a different size hole for it in my air manifold. I'm guessing that one valve was an odd-ball that slipped passed quality control on the manufacturer's side. Regardless I still highly recommend these.

So easy!!!!

I am so glad that I added these when I got my pump. Take sink into the PVC so easy. Originally my brother-in-law was trying to talk me into something from the hardware store. He was thanking me after the set up that I got these guys.

Exactly what I needed

Been setting up a new tank and picked up a bunch of new things from aquarium co-op including new air pumps ( that are fantastic themselves!) and these valves to further refine how much air is going through my tank. They work great. Easy plug and play with some air line and check valves. Let's me really control what's coming out of my sponge filter air stone and the under gravel filter in another tank. I've bought two packs just to have extra on hand.

No air leakage

Installed the valves in thick wall PVC. Drilled the holes and then tapped threads in the PVC. Screwed the valves into the holes. No air leakage around the holes.

Recommend for fish room

We are setting up a fish room. They are little enough to not be bulky on the pvc pipe.

As advertised

Used these when I set up my central air loop. They self tap into pvc (I used schedule 40), fit nice and snug and show no sign of leaks. I plan to buy more!

High Quality Air Valves

All valves had a clean finish out of the packaging. The finish is durable throughout the drilling step. The ball valve is smooth and allows me to dial the air flow to each one.

Pretty good

These are pretty good and well made.
The thread is taper so it's self treading unlike some on the market.
It's also a fair price

Metal air valves

They work. Have installed over 60 of these and haven't had a problem with any of them. I did have to go up a bit size to 13/64 when installing but it worked perfectly in pvc with no glue.

D
David H. (Cookeville, TN, US)
Very well made product

I tapped a 3/4-in pipe for my linear air piston pump and I screwed these right in worked perfectly

C
Chris E. (Edmonds, WA, US)
Top two reasons

Two biggest things. First is durability. Just like any size or type of valve in or on the market, SS is the way to go for this application. Second is the look of course. Take it to the next level please!

5 pack metal air valves
