Alphacool EPDM Tube 16/10 - Black 1m (3.28ft) Retailbox 5100121

With an operating pressure rating of up to 6 bar and a temperature range spanning -30°C to +110°C, this Alphacool EPDM tube is built to handle the demands of high-performance water cooling loops. The 16/10mm sizing (16mm outer, 10mm inner diameter) pairs perfectly with standard 16/10mm compression fittings, ensuring a secure, leak-free connection. At 1 meter (3.28 feet) in length, it provides ample tubing for most builds, and the retail box keeps it protected until installation.

Overview

The Alphacool EPDM Tube 16/10 is a premium black tubing solution for PC water cooling systems. Manufactured from EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), it offers superior flexibility and kink resistance compared to traditional PVC or silicone tubing. The material is completely plasticizer-free, meaning it will not leach chemicals into your coolant over time, preserving loop cleanliness and reducing maintenance. Its 3mm wall thickness strikes an ideal balance between durability and bendability, allowing for tight routing without compromising flow.

What stands out

• Excellent UV resistance prevents degradation from sunlight or case lighting.
• High flexibility and kink resistance simplify complex tube runs.
• Plasticizer-free construction eliminates coolant contamination and clouding.
• Compatible with all standard water cooling coolants, including glycol-based mixtures.
• Retail box packaging ensures the tube arrives clean and undamaged.
