EcoTech Marine Vectra Barb & Screen Kit

About This Product

The EcoTech Marine Vectra Barb & Screen Kit is a convenient plumbing accessory designed to provide secure soft-tubing connections while protecting compatible EcoTech Marine Vectra DC return pumps from debris and foreign objects. Ideal for freshwater and saltwater aquarium systems, this kit simplifies pump installation and helps maintain dependable water circulation.

Designed specifically for Vectra return pumps, the kit includes barbed plumbing fittings that allow aquarists to connect flexible tubing, such as vinyl or silicone aquarium hose, directly to compatible pump connections. This provides an alternative to rigid PVC plumbing and offers greater flexibility when installing or maintaining aquarium filtration systems.

The included protective intake screen helps prevent large debris, loose aquarium materials, and other foreign objects from entering the pump. By reducing the risk of obstructions and damage to internal pump components, the screen helps protect the impeller and supports reliable pump operation.

The barbed fittings provide convenient connections for flexible plumbing arrangements, making the kit particularly useful for submerged return pump installations, sump filtration systems, and aquarium setups where traditional rigid plumbing may be difficult to accommodate.

Manufactured as a genuine EcoTech Marine accessory, the Vectra Barb & Screen Kit is available in model-specific configurations for compatible Vectra S, M, and L series return pumps. Each version is designed to match the appropriate pump connections, ensuring proper fitment and straightforward installation.
