Alphacool AlphaTube HF 10 mm ID 16 mm OD

This flexible PVC tubing connects water-cooling components such as pumps, radiators and blocks. It is sold in a three-metre length with a UV-reactive blue colour that glows under UV light. The 10 mm inner diameter and 16 mm outer diameter suit standard compression fittings. It targets builders assembling custom open loops.

Capacity and headroom: 3 m length

The 3 m roll provides enough material for most single-loop layouts with some allowance for routing errors. Rated working pressure is 3 bar and burst pressure is 18 bar, giving headroom for typical pump pressures. Operating temperature range spans -10 °C to 80 °C, covering chilled and high-load scenarios. Very long or complex multi-radiator loops may require more than one roll.

Build quality and daily handling

Hardness is rated at 65–70 A-Shore, balancing pliability with resistance to kinking during tight bends. The PVC construction keeps the tube supple for straightforward installation while maintaining shape under pressure. UV-blue pigment is integrated into the material rather than coated, so colour remains consistent after prolonged coolant contact. The 16/10 mm dimensions match common metric compression fittings without adapters.

Questions about this item

Will the 16 mm OD and 10 mm ID dimensions match the compression fittings I already use?

The tubing has an outer diameter of 16 mm and an inner diameter of 10 mm, which is the standard 16/10 mm size used by most compression fittings for water cooling.

How can I confirm the tubing is rated for my loop's operating pressure and temperature?

It is rated for a working pressure of 3 bar and a burst pressure of 18 bar, with a working temperature range of -10 °C to 80 °C.

Does the 3 metre retail box include fittings or coolant, or only the UV Blue PVC tubing?

The retail box contains only the 3 metre length of UV Blue PVC tubing; fittings and coolant must be purchased separately.
