Tubing XSPC FLX 16/10 mm transparent, 2 m – flexible coolant hose for water-cooling loops

XSPC FLX transparent tubing 16/10 mm, length 2 m, is a flexible coolant hose made for PC water-cooling loops and custom liquid cooling systems. The tube features a clear, smooth interior that allows visual inspection of coolant flow and compatibility with standard fittings for 16 mm inner diameter and 10 mm wall thickness. Its flexibility and transparency make it suitable for routing between radiators, pumps and reservoirs while maintaining a neat appearance in build interiors.

Advantages

The tubing combines flexibility with dimensional stability, enabling tight bends without kinking while keeping consistent inner and outer diameters for reliable sealing with compression fittings. Transparency provides easy visual monitoring of coolant condition and flow. Manufactured to suit water-cooling layouts, the hose resists common cooling fluids and is designed for straightforward installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Custom PC water-cooling loops connecting radiators, pumps and reservoirs
• Replacement or upgrade of existing flexible coolant hoses
• Test setups and prototype liquid cooling assemblies
• Systems where visual monitoring of coolant is required

Key specifications

• Inner diameter: 16 mm
• Outer diameter: 26 mm (nominal, reflecting 10 mm wall thickness)
• Wall thickness: 10 mm
• Length: 2 m
• Material: flexible transparent tubing suitable for coolant use
• Compatibility: designed for fittings compatible with 16 mm ID / 10 mm wall tubing

How to use

Measure required lengths and cut the tubing with a sharp hose cutter to obtain clean, square ends. Slide compression fittings, clamps or push-fit connectors onto the tube ends and seat the tubing fully onto the barb or adapter. Tighten fittings to the manufacturer's recommended torque or clamp pressure to ensure a leak-free connection. Route the tubing to avoid excessive stretching or sharp bends; support long runs to prevent sagging. Before regular operation, perform a leak test with the cooling system filled and powered only to the pump (if applicable) or by pressurizing the loop at low pressure to confirm seals.

Recommendations

For longest service life, use coolant formulations recommended for PC water-cooling and avoid aggressive chemicals. Inspect tubing periodically for discoloration, clouding or hardening and replace if signs of wear appear. When installing, allow for expansion and contraction by leaving slight slack where temperature changes are expected, and ensure compatible fittings are used to match the 16 mm inner diameter.
