Know before you buy
You must use compression fittings specifically designed for 10mm inner diameter and 16mm outer diameter soft tubing to ensure a secure, leak-proof seal.
This tubing is compatible with most standard water-cooling coolants. However, avoid using aggressive additives or alcohol-based cleaners, as these can cause the material to cloud or degrade over time.
The material is highly flexible, making it easy to route through tight spaces without kinking. It is an excellent choice for complex loops where rigid tubing would be difficult to install.
While high-quality, clear PVC tubing is resistant to discoloration, some clouding can occur over long periods depending on the type of coolant used and exposure to UV light. Regular maintenance and using high-quality, non-staining coolants will help maintain its clarity.
Yes, 3 meters is more than enough for most single or dual-radiator custom loops. It provides plenty of slack for initial measurements and allows for future adjustments or replacements.
