Tubo Alphacool 17494 PVC trasparente diametro 1,3 cm lunghezza 100 cm

The Alphacool 17494 Transparent PVC tube is a clear, flexible conduit designed for fluid transport in cooling systems. With a 1.3 cm inner diameter and a 100 cm length, this tube provides a visible flow path for coolant and straightforward routing in compact or custom layouts. Made from transparent PVC, it combines flexibility for easy installation with material strength suitable for routine use in PC water-cooling loops and similar applications.

Advantages

Transparent construction allows visual inspection of coolant and flow. The PVC material offers flexibility for bends and routing while maintaining dimensional stability under normal operating conditions. Its 1.3 cm diameter supports adequate flow rates for many small to medium cooling circuits, and the 100 cm length minimizes the need for additional joins in short runs. The tube is lightweight, facilitating handling during assembly or maintenance.

Suitable for

• PC water-cooling loops for CPUs and GPUs
• Custom liquid cooling projects and test rigs
• Small-scale liquid transfer where transparency is required
• Replacement tubing in compatible cooling systems

Key specifications

• Material: transparent PVC
• Inner diameter: 1.3 cm
• Length: 100 cm
• Weight: 112 g
• Color: clear/transparent

How to use

Measure and cut the tube to the required length using a sharp tubing cutter or a fine-toothed saw for a clean, square end. Slide compatible fittings, clamps, or compression fittings onto the tube before connecting to radiators, pumps, or blocks, then secure with appropriate clamps to prevent leaks. Ensure the tube is routed without excessive kinks or sharp bends that could restrict flow; use gentle curves or additional fittings to change direction. After installation, perform a pressure or leak test using the system's recommended procedure and run the loop briefly to confirm continuous flow and absence of air pockets.

Recommendations

For long-term reliability, avoid exposing the tube to aggressive chemicals, prolonged direct sunlight, or temperatures outside the component specifications of your cooling system. Periodically inspect the transparent tubing for discoloration, clouding, or deposits and replace if signs of degradation appear. When planning runs, allow extra length for secure connections and service access.
