Application
A water cooling system consists of many different elements: pumps, radiators, cooling blocks, reservoirs and often other components. In order to build up a functional loop, these must of course be connected to each other, and the easiest way to do this is to use tubing. Here Alphacool calls its AlphaTube HF the best choice. Alphacool says the tubing has the "perfect flexibility" to be easily installed. The hose is flexible enough that it can be laid without effort, but at the same time rigid enough that it will not kink easily, even with tighter bending radii.
Optics
Alphacool's product information lists this tube in different vivid colors, clear and also UV-active. That range offers a large selection of colors and styles, making it easy to find the one that best suits your taste. It is also available in different sizes: "We offer the AlphaTube HF hose in all common sizes," as Alphacool puts it.
What a run needs
A run of hose takes two fittings, one at each end, sized for a 3 mm inner and 5 mm outer diameter. They are in our section of compression fittings for 5/3 mm tubing.
