Matala Hakko Standard Air Manifolds

Matala 6-Way and 12-Way Brass Air Manifolds split a single air pump feed across multiple diffuser lines for aquariums or ponds using small air stones distributed across different locations. Compact solid-brass construction stands up to pond-side humidity and each tap is independently adjustable so individual diffusers can be balanced or shut off for maintenance.

Key Features

• Solid brass construction - heavier and more durable than plastic manifolds
• 3/16" barb outlets designed for small-diameter air tubing
• Integrated per-tap valve for independent flow balancing
• Distributes one air pump output across multiple diffusers or aeration lines
• Available in 6-way (C-6) and 12-way (C-12) configurations

Pump Pairing Recommendations

• 6-way (C-6): pair with Hakko HK-25L / HK-25LP and use all 6 outlets
• 12-way (C-12): pair with Hakko HK-40L / HK-40LP / HK-60L and use all 12 outlets
• HK-80LH: use two 12-way units in parallel
• HK-100L / HK-120LH: use three 12-way units in parallel

Under-utilizing outlets can cause the pump to overheat and shorten diaphragm life - pair manifold size to pump output.
