Color from the tubing

Tubing is the veins of a water cooling system, as Alphacool puts it, and these are the next generation, made by Alphacool. Deep, intense colors as well as comfortable handling during installation and connection were its focus in developing these tubes. The result is tubing in a variety of sizes and colors, such as red, green, blue, or black. Alphacool specifically ensured that there would no longer be any need to deal with color particles in the coolant fluid, but rather that all the color would come from the tubing itself.

Bending and handling

Besides the color, the installation and bending properties are of course very important in tubing. The ability to span a tight bend radius and easy use in tricky spaces were also emphasized during development. Alphacool says this was optimized to perfection by mixing different combinations of synthetic materials. It describes the hose resulting from that as one that manages to bring opposing goals together in harmony and that will satisfy both amateur enthusiasts and experienced water cooling users. The tube is manufactured in Germany, with what Alphacool calls the promise of consistent high quality. "Our years of manufacturing experience guarantee that any product we sell is the best," it says.

What a run needs

A run of hose takes two fittings, one at each end, sized for a 10 mm inner and 16 mm outer diameter. They are in our 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD compression fittings section.
