Parts needed. All can be easily got from the internet or your nearest quality grow shop.

(Nutriculture code) FT134 16mm barbed to 16mm M.BSP Tee
(Nutriculture code) FT52 16mm F.BSP to 5mm tube
4mm pipe (approx 1/2m)
1 x 360 red spray head
1 x 4mm inline connector

Take the 4mm joiner and scrape some of the edge of one barb back until it's a snug fit inside the 16mm F.BSP - 5mm hole (See images).

Thread the 4mm pipe through the tee. A tip is to fold the end of the pipe and push it through one of the barbed ends. When it gets to the joint the pipe will fold back and rest on the wall of the join making it easy to push up by twisting a little.

Push the 360 spray head onto the end of the 4mm pipe.

Connect the other end to the connector you just made & screw shut tight.

Connect another piece of pipe to the other end of the 16mm F.BSP - 5mm join.

Connect to the outlet of your system. And whola if you use a piece of clear tube like me you will see the bubbles streaming into the pipe and the hiss of the air being drawn in.

It's so simple to build & works great !! Mixes your nutrients & add oxygen to your tank without a noisy air stone. Would also be a great addition to a recirculating DWC with the added bubbles.

I'm using mine to mix H2O2 with rainwater before it get's to my UV filter to generate OH Hydroxyl Radical.

Good Luck
