Active Aqua Chiller 1/2in Fitting Kit for AACH10 | Barbs, Clamps, Fuse

Pick the 1/2 in Fitting Kit When Your Loop Is Half-Inch

Chiller fittings are not a preference, they are whatever your tubing already is. This kit is the half-inch set for the AACH10. It is the right one if the pump, the line and the reservoir bulkheads all run 1/2 in. Stepping the loop down to half-inch on a small chiller costs you almost nothing in flow at this size. Going the other way is the problem. Force 3/4 in tubing onto a half-inch barb and you get a clamp that will not seat and a slow drip behind the reservoir.

What Comes in the Box of AACH10 Chiller Fittings

Two barbed fittings in 1/2 in, two hose clamps, one replacement fuse and two rubber collars for the inlet and outlet. The fuse is the part worth noting. It is the component that quietly ends a chiller mid-summer, and having a spare in the drawer beats sourcing one on a hot Saturday. The rubber collars are the other reason to keep a kit around. They harden and weep after a couple of seasons of temperature cycling. This is a parts kit and not an upgrade, so nothing here changes what the chiller does. If your AACH10 is plumbed in 3/4 in, the other kit is the one you want.

Key Features

• Two 1/2 in barbed fittings: Matches a half-inch loop at the chiller inlet and outlet without an adapter stack.
• Two hose clamps: Seats the tubing properly on the barb, which is where slow leaks usually start.
• One replacement fuse: The part that ends a chiller run unannounced, kept in the drawer instead of chased down.
• Two rubber inlet and outlet collars: Replaces the collars that harden and weep after a few seasons of temperature cycling.
• Sized specifically to the AACH10: Matched to the smallest chiller in the line rather than sold as a universal fitting bag.
