Content: 1x through-hole slider

Description: The passage slider blocks or opens the passage of ants in a tube or between two formicariums.
It is transparent, so you can check if there are ants in between when “closing”. The gate valve is also used to control and regulate the flow of ants in hoses.

Note on the application
Due to the filigree construction, the following must be observed when attaching or detaching hoses:
If the tubing is very difficult to fit onto the connector bushing, the bushing should be lightly rubbed with a drop of our breakout protection oil or powder. The hose should then be pushed onto the bushing by twisting or screwing movements, without stressing the bushing with up and down movements. The same applies when removing the hoses from the through slide. Please do not simply pull them off!
