Overview
Legend CO2 Hose PRO™ High Pressure is a professional-grade polyurethane tubing specifically engineered for pressurized aquarium CO2 systems. Designed to provide exceptional durability, pressure resistance, and long-term reliability, the tubing delivers consistent carbon dioxide transfer while maintaining a clean and discreet appearance suitable for modern aquascaping installations.
Unlike conventional silicone or standard PVC tubing, high-pressure polyurethane offers significantly lower gas permeability, helping minimize CO2 loss through the tubing walls and improving overall system efficiency. This allows more of the carbon dioxide produced by the regulator to reach the diffuser, atomizer, reactor, or other delivery equipment, resulting in more stable CO2 levels and improved plant utilization.
The advanced polyurethane construction remains highly flexible while offering superior resistance to kinking, crushing, abrasion, and deformation. This balance of flexibility and strength simplifies installation while maintaining excellent dimensional stability under continuous pressure.
A specialized surface finishing process gives the tubing a smooth matte texture that resists dust accumulation and maintains a professional appearance. Suitable for use with regulators, bubble counters, check valves, diffusers, atomizers, reactors, and other pressurized CO2 equipment, Legend CO2 Hose PRO™ High Pressure provides the secure gas delivery required for efficient aquatic plant cultivation and advanced aquascaping systems.
Directions
Measure and cut the tubing to the desired length using a sharp blade or tubing cutter to create a clean, square edge. Connect the tubing securely to the outlet of the CO2 regulator and route it to the intended aquarium equipment, ensuring that all connections are fully seated and properly secured.
Avoid excessive bending, twisting, or sharp angles that may restrict gas flow. Smooth routing with gradual curves will help maintain consistent pressure throughout the system and improve long-term reliability.
After installation, slowly pressurize the CO2 system and inspect all fittings and connections for leaks. If necessary, disconnect the system and reposition the tubing to ensure a secure fit. Once installed correctly, the tubing will provide stable and efficient carbon dioxide delivery to the aquarium.
Periodic inspection is recommended to ensure continued performance and to identify any accidental damage that may occur during routine aquarium maintenance.
Technical Specifications
FAQ
Why use polyurethane tubing instead of standard silicone tubing?
Polyurethane tubing offers significantly lower gas permeability than silicone, helping reduce CO2 loss through the tubing wall. This improves overall efficiency and allows more carbon dioxide to reach the diffuser or reactor.
Is Legend CO2 Hose PRO High Pressure suitable for pressurized CO2 systems?
Yes. The tubing is specifically designed for use with pressurized aquarium CO2 systems and is suitable for regulators, atomizers, reactors, bubble counters, and other CO2 equipment requiring stable pressure delivery.
Will the tubing remain flexible over time?
The polyurethane construction provides an excellent balance between flexibility and structural strength. Under normal aquarium operating conditions, the tubing maintains its shape while remaining easy to install and route.
Can this tubing be used with air pumps?
Although optimized for pressurized CO2 applications, the tubing may also be used with compatible aquarium air systems where appropriate fitting dimensions are maintained.
Does polyurethane tubing reduce CO2 consumption?
While tubing itself does not lower consumption, reduced gas permeability helps minimize CO2 loss before the gas reaches the aquarium, improving overall system efficiency.
Why is high-pressure tubing important for planted aquariums?
Stable carbon dioxide delivery is essential for maintaining consistent plant growth and preventing fluctuations that may contribute to algae issues. High-pressure tubing helps preserve pressure stability throughout the CO2 system.
Safety
For aquarium use only. Keep out of reach of children. Use only with compatible aquarium CO2 equipment and ensure all connections are securely installed before pressurizing the system. Improper installation may result in gas leakage or reduced system performance.
Do not expose the tubing to open flames, excessive heat sources, or chemicals not intended for aquarium applications. Damaged tubing should be replaced immediately to prevent pressure loss and maintain safe operation.
When working with pressurized CO2 systems, always follow the recommendations supplied by the regulator and equipment manufacturers. Verify that all fittings, check valves, and accessories are correctly installed before operation. Store unused tubing in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
