Why hard tube
Alphacool's announcement reads: the HardTube project becomes a reality, and Alphacool takes a completely new way and clearly sets an example. The method most commonly used previously for water cooling systems is normal PVC hoses, and Alphacool now offers another approach to designing a loop. It says the HardTube again brings more tidiness into the system, which makes a much more structured impression.
Bending and cutting
Alphacool's data sheet calls the tubes easy to bend. With the appropriate bending tool you can adapt the plexi tube to the system without needing to use additional angles. Ours are in the silicone bending inserts section. To install the tubes, they must be sawn to the correct length.
What a run needs
A run takes two fittings, one at each end, from our 13mm OD hard tube fittings. Alphacool says the brand new tubes and its HT connectors make installation very simple, and that they connect completely sealed together. Note: due to the made-to-fit pipes, the connections must be plugged on straight with a little effort.
Other sizes
The following options are available from Alphacool: HardTube 13/10 mm clear acrylic and HardTube 16/13 mm clear acrylic, each in 20 cm, 40 cm, 60 cm and 80 cm. Both are also available in a pack of 4. Its scope of delivery for this one is a single item, the 4pcs set.
Notes
- Notice: Alphacool recommended distilled water for correct operation of the water cooling.
- Use only clear, transparent water cooling fluids. Alphacool warns that the particles and additives in pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses, which can void the manufacturer's warranty.
