Alphacool AlphaTube HF 10/16 mm tubing

This clear PVC tubing is made for custom water-cooling loops. It connects pumps, radiators, blocks and reservoirs in a PC build. The 10 mm inner and 16 mm outer diameters suit standard compression fittings. It is sold new in a three-metre length.

Flexibility and pressure rating

The material hardness sits at 65 to 70 Shore A, giving enough bend radius for tight routing without kinking. It withstands a working pressure of 3 bar and a burst pressure of 18 bar. Operating temperature spans minus ten to eighty degrees Celsius.

Fitting and clamp compatibility

Verify that your compression fittings or barbs accept 10 mm inner and 16 mm outer dimensions. Ensure your loop design does not exceed the stated pressure or temperature limits. Buyers needing coloured or UV-reactive tubing should choose a different variant.

Questions about this item

How often will the PVC tubing need replacement under normal water-cooling use?

The AlphaTube HF 17497 is rated for continuous operation between –10 °C and 80 °C with a 65–70 A-Shore hardness that resists kinking; inspect annually for clouding, hardening or micro-cracks and replace if any appear.

What is the first limit reached during sustained pump pressure?

Working pressure is 3 bar with a burst rating of 18 bar, so the 3 bar operating ceiling will be reached long before the burst limit under normal loop pressure.

How much heat does the tubing add to the loop when the system runs all day?

The PVC material itself adds negligible heat; it simply conducts fluid between components within the –10 °C to 80 °C range without active dissipation.
