Color from the tube

Alphacool calls hoses the lifeblood of a water cooling system, and this is its latest tubing generation. The goals when developing it were deep, intense colors, pleasant handling and easy installation when laying and connecting the hose. The result is a great choice of sizes and colors such as red, green, blue or black, and this one is UV red. When designing these tubes, one goal was to make colored coolant obsolete, and hence the strain that coloring particles put on the cooling loop. The color comes from the tubes themselves.

Bending and handling

Besides color, the installation and kinking properties are always an important factor when choosing tubing. Tight bending radiuses and comfortable handling in tricky situations were also taken into consideration during development. Alphacool says the plastic mixture was developed to perfection for this. In its words, "we have created" tubing which manages to combine usually opposing properties, to please both beginners and advanced water cooling users.

The tube is made in Germany, and manufacturing there promises permanently high quality. Alphacool says that manufacturing with years of experience ensures the best product all of the time.

What a run needs

Each run of this tube takes two fittings, one at each end, sized for 13/10 mm: our 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD compression fittings match it.

Notes

• Alphacool asks that it be used only with clear, transparent water cooling fluids. The particles and additives in pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses.
