Python Aquarium Pump Female Connector

I have a very old python aquarium siphon setup (probably circa 1980's) but it worked perfectly - so when I found a part broken, I knew it made more sense to repair rather than replace the whole system. I contacted python and they gave me the information needed to get the right parts. This part looks slightly different than my original parts, so I needed a bit of support to figure out how to install it, which they provided. Although the tubing for this part fits extremely tight to it and it appears machine installed, it actually can be installed by hand. In a short while my python was working like new again.

Perfect replacement for the Python repair.

Its a good thing

Have my Pyton Pump for more than twenty years and this was the first time I had to replace a connector. It works just as well as it did when I first got it! I had two fairly large tanks - 75 Gallon and 48 gallon. I am down to the 48 half-back Octagon. I highly recommend both - the original Pump and this replacement part. It was very easy to repair. I just hot-knifed the old one off, slid on the new fitting and put it back together. Tightening the fitting created the new seal. Just like new!

These aren't really very expensive to replace, but they are notorious for breaking at the swivel portion of the ring. Python could resolve this if they would make the plastic in this area just a bit thicker. This seems to be characteristic of all of these types of parts, regardless of who manufactures them. Still gave it five stars, though, as it lasted 6 years before breaking.

It is what it says it is.

This female part is a mate to the male connector. Mont the male one on your aquarium hose and you can use a garden hose for your output. Or mount a female one on a hose and you can fill a tank from the standard garden hose spigot. Put a male on one side of an aquarium hose and a female on the other end and youve got a nice extension hose for your Phthon or water changing device. It can be used exclusively with your Python device or you can mix and match what hoses you have to do some longer distance water moving. It surprises me how durable these connectors are. Each one generally lasts me a couple of years of weekly use. And if the hose is mounted well, they dont leak all over your floor either. Dont overtighten them though or theyll crack. Also be aware that an aqurium hose cant carry as much current as a garden hose. Dont apply high pressure to avoid damaging your aquarium hoses. Good quality plastic connector that doesnt leak.

Python is the best

Great product. Exactly as described.

Very easy to use. I’ve had good longevity with a python hose I bought over 20 years ago that heads just cracked. This replaced them easily and quickly. Hopefully build quality is as good as when they started to make these.

Excelente conexión para Python durante el cambio de agua de mis acuarios

The plastic nut that attaches to the faucet adaptor cracked on my sons python and had to replace the whole unit. It should not be overtightened and no lateral force exerted on the python by pulling on the hose

Genuine part so no worries for fit.
