Clear 16/10 tubing for custom loops
This 3 metre length of transparent 16/10 tubing suits builders assembling a custom water-cooling circuit. The clear finish lets coolant colour show through without dye particles clouding the fluid. It is manufactured in Germany for consistent quality. Both newcomers and experienced enthusiasts can use it for standard compression fittings.
Flexible handling eases tight bends
The material blend is designed to span a tight bend radius while remaining comfortable to handle in cramped chassis areas. No special tools or heat are required for routine installation. The tubing resists kinking during routing and keeps its shape once positioned. It arrives in a retail box ready for immediate use.
Stable dimensions under continuous flow
Under sustained pump pressure the tubing maintains its inner and outer diameter without swelling or softening. The synthetic mix prevents plasticiser leaching into the coolant over long operating periods. Colour stays locked in the tube wall rather than migrating into the fluid. This stability supports reliable loop operation day after day.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 16/10 AlphaTube HF without kinking it in tight bends?
Warm the tubing in hot water, push it fully over the 13 mm barb until it seats against the collar, then secure with a compression fitting; the common mistake is skipping the heat step and forcing a cold bend.
What maintenance will the clear 3 m length need over time?
Check for clouding or plasticiser residue during coolant changes; if the wall stiffens or discolours, cut out the affected section and fit a fresh piece from the same roll.
What limit appears first when the loop runs hot for long periods?
The tubing softens as coolant temperature rises, so the minimum bend radius tightens and the tube can collapse on sharp corners before any pressure rating is reached.
