Description
Clear, Straight Tubing for Aquarium Repairs and Custom Builds
Build around a line that holds its shape with Lee’s Thinwall Rigid Aquarium Tubing. Made from clear, rigid PVC, this tubing provides a straight-form option for aquarium and pond projects where flexible hose is not the right choice. This size measures 36 inches long with a 3/4-inch outside diameter.
Use it as a replacement uplift tube or as material for fabricating a custom aquarium or pond setup. The 36-inch length can be cut down to suit your project, giving you flexibility over the finished length while retaining the tubing’s rigid form.
Each tube carries a UPC label with size notation to help you identify the part. Lee’s specifies its tubing diameters as outside measurements, an important distinction when comparing tubing and checking the dimensions required by your equipment.

Features That Help You Plan Your Setup
Rigid construction: Maintains a straight form for projects that call for shape-holding tubing rather than a flexible hose run.
Clear PVC: Offers a visually unobtrusive alternative to opaque tubing inside your aquarium.
36-inch starting length: Provides material that can be cut to the length your build requires.
Specified outside diameter: The 3/4-inch measurement describes the exterior of the tube, helping you compare the correct dimension when planning connections.
Thinwall design: Combines a lightweight format with a firm, rigid form.
Size identification: A UPC label with size notation helps you confirm the tubing size while organizing parts for a repair or build.
For Replacement Uplift Tubes and Custom Projects
When an uplift tube needs replacing, choosing the right dimensions is part of getting the repair ready. This clear rigid tubing offers a replacement option where its diameter and cut length match the requirements of your setup. Its stated use does not establish compatibility with every filter or aquarium system, so compare your equipment’s dimensions before selecting it.
For hobbyists building their own configurations, the same tubing provides a straight component to work into a custom design. Whether you are planning an aquarium modification or a pond project, the known length and outside diameter give you concrete measurements to work from.
Picture your parts laid out before a repair: the size label identifies the tube, the clear PVC lets you keep the finished setup visually simple, and the full length gives you room to plan the section you need. It is a practical building component rather than a one-size-fits-all plumbing solution.
Understanding the 3/4-Inch Measurement
The listed diameter is outside diameter, not inside diameter. Lee’s notes that its tubing diameter measurements refer to the outside of the tube. Do not treat the 3/4-inch figure as the internal opening or as confirmation that a fitting with a similar size label will connect.
Check the dimensions required by the parts you intend to use and plan your finished length before cutting. No inside-diameter or wall-thickness measurement is supplied here.
