HardTube Alphacool 16/11mm 0,6 m läpinäkyvä

Alphacool HardTube made of borosilicate glass is a rigid transparent tube designed for custom water-cooling systems. This 16/11 mm version is 0.6 m long, compatible with Alphacool HardTube connectors and intended as an alternative to flexible PVC hoses. Borosilicate glass provides dimensional stability, chemical resistance and durability under temperature fluctuations, delivering a clean, structured appearance for PC water loops.

Advantages

Borosilicate construction offers high stability, resistance to most chemicals and minimal deformation from temperature changes. The rigid HardTube improves tidiness and routing clarity compared with flexible hoses and is fully compatible with Alphacool HardTube fittings. The 16 mm outer / 11 mm inner diameter and 0.6 m length suit many custom loop layouts while remaining lightweight.

Suitable for

• Custom PC water-cooling loops using rigid tubing
• Systems requiring chemical and temperature-resistant tubing
• Builds where neat, straight runs and a structured appearance are desired

How to use

Cutting or bending the tube is not possible; plan measurements and routing before installation. Use the appropriate Alphacool HardTube connectors and fittings sized for 16/11 mm to secure joints and ensure leak-free connections. Clean mating surfaces and install with recommended seals or O-rings supplied with the fittings. Verify alignment and support the tube to avoid point loads on connectors.

Recommendations

Handle with care during assembly to avoid chips or cracks. Pre-measure all runs and dry-fit connectors before final assembly. Do not attempt to deform the glass; use angled pre-bent pieces where required.
