1. Alphacool Ice pipe satin 13/10mm - set of 4

The most common hard tubes are clear and transparent. In addition, hard tubes made of brass and carbon have also gained popularity. Now, Alphacool offers the Ice Tube as part of its Ice product line. The surface visually resembles ice and feels like it too—somewhat rough, yet still smooth. The Ice Tube significantly alters the appearance within the system. Especially after filling the system, the actual effect is best observed. The water has the look of frozen ice. When the loop is illuminated with LEDs, clear hard tubes reflect the individual LEDs very well, but this is not the case with the Ice Tubes. Here, the light is diffused, resulting in a much softer and better illumination. The Ice Tube can be bent like all acrylic hard tubes using the appropriate bending tools. However, this noticeably changes the appearance of the Ice Tubes at the bends, no longer matching the original look. This can create an additional effect, but those who wish to maintain the Ice Tube appearance should use appropriate fittings for bends.

4. Alphacool Ice pipe 13/10mm - set of 4

The most commonly used method for water cooling so far has been standard PVC hoses. Now, Alphacool offers another way to design a water cooling system. The HardTube variant brings even more order to the system, creating a much more structured appearance. Brand new are the brass tubes, available in Black Chrome and Chrome, as well as acrylic tubes, carbon, and borosilicate glass. With the appropriate fittings and a very simple design, these can be connected or attached absolutely leak-proof. The PETG tube can also be easily adapted to the system with the right bending tool, without the need for additional angle pieces. To install the tubes into the system, they must be cut to the appropriate length. PETG tubes require lower temperatures than acrylic to bend and are generally a bit more flexible and easier to handle. The perfect entry into the world of HardTubes.

8. Alphacool HardTube 13/10mm borosilicate glass

Alphacool's HardTube family is gaining new members. The new hard tubes made of borosilicate glass give every system a whole new quality.

The most commonly used
method for water cooling has been standard PVC hoses – now Alphacool offers another way to design a water cooling system. The hard tube variant brings even more order to the system, which gives it a much more structured appearance.

Borosilicate glass meets all the requirements that a water cooling system demands. Stability and brilliant appearance are not the only characteristics that lead to the choice of this glass, as it is also resistant to chemicals and temperature fluctuations. It is no coincidence that this glass is used throughout the chemical industry.

All glass tubes are compatible with Alphacool's HardTube fittings. Currently, Alphacool offers two classic sizes: tubes with a 16 mm outer diameter and tubes with a 13 mm outer diameter. Since this glass cannot be deformed, Alphacool also offers 90° angles in various lengths, allowing for the elimination of connection angle pieces.

9. Alphacool Hose

Hoses are the lifelines of the water cooling system! Here is the latest generation from Alphacool. Deep, vibrant colors and pleasant handling during installation and connection were our goals in hose development. The product consists of hoses in various sizes and colors such as red, green, blue, or black. In developing the hoses, we consciously worked to ensure that no color particles from the coolant would burden the water cycle, but rather that the power of color emanates from the hose itself. Besides the color, the installation and bending behavior of the hoses is of great interest. Bridging tight bending radii and providing a comfortable handling in tricky spots were also prioritized. This has been optimized to perfection through various plastic mixtures, resulting in a hose that harmonizes the sometimes development-restricting, opposing goals and will impress both beginners and advanced water cooling users! Manufacturing in Germany promises consistently high quality. Years of experience in production ensure that only the best product is sold. Technical specifications: Material: PVC, Color: Transparent, Inner diameter: 10mm, 3/8", Outer diameter: 13mm, 5/8", Wall thickness: 1.5mm. Delivery includes: 1x Alphacool hose AlphaTube HF 13/10 (3/8"ID) - Clear 3m.
