UV Green PVC Tubing for Custom Loops

This Alphacool AlphaTube HF tubing is made for builders assembling a custom water-cooling loop. The 10 mm inner diameter and 16 mm outer diameter match common compression fittings, while the three metre length gives enough material for most single-loop builds. UV Green pigment reacts under black light for a distinctive visual effect. It suits enthusiasts who want coloured coolant paths without using dyed fluid.

Thermal Range and Pressure Limits

The PVC construction is rated for a working temperature span of minus 10 to 80 degrees Celsius, covering typical loop operating conditions. Working pressure is specified at 3 bar with a burst pressure of 18 bar, providing a wide safety margin for standard pump pressures. Hardness measures 65 to 70 A-Shore, so the tube resists kinking during routing while remaining pliable enough for tight bends. No active cooling or noise is involved because the product is passive tubing.

Build Quality and Daily Handling

A Shore hardness of 65 to 70 A means the tubing holds its shape once bent, reducing the risk of flow restriction at sharp corners. The 16 mm outer diameter fits standard 16/10 mm compression fittings, so no adapters are required for common water-block and radiator ports. PVC material resists plasticiser leaching better than softer grades, helping maintain clarity and flexibility over time. Buyers who need smaller bend radii than the material allows or who prefer hard-line aesthetics will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 10 mm ID AlphaTube HF onto 16 mm OD fittings without kinking?

Slide the tubing over the barbed fitting while warm; the 65-70 A-Shore PVC is flexible enough for tight bends yet rigid enough to resist kinking if you avoid forcing radii tighter than the tubing naturally allows.

When should I replace this UV Green PVC tubing in a loop?

Plan replacement when the tubing clouds, stiffens, or loses UV reactivity — typically after one to two years of continuous operation within the -10 °C to 80 °C working range.

What pressure limit will the tubing hit first under sustained pump pressure?

The rated working pressure is 3 bar; sustained operation above that approaches the 18 bar burst rating, so keep loop pressure at or below 3 bar.
