The EPDM tube from Alphacool's Enterprise Solutions series is characterized by its high resistance to acids, bases and external influences and has an exceptional longevity compared to conventional PVC tubes. The matt black tube with its subtle velvet look quickly becomes an eye-catcher in every water-cooled PC. What is the advantage of EPDM? Compared to commercially available PVC hoses, the EPDM tube from Alphacool is significantly more temperature-resistant and allows working temperatures well above 100 °C. Even at higher water temperatures, the EPDM tube remains dimensionally stable and prevents the hose from warping in places with narrower bending radii or connections. This eliminates the risk of the water circuit leaking or the water flow being blocked. The high resistance to external influences makes the Alphacool EPDM hose extremely durable and long-lasting. Assembly The Alphacool EPDM tube is slightly more dimensionally stable compared to a PVC hose. Nevertheless, it has excellent flexibility and flexibility for effortless installation even with tighter bending radii. Connections The EPDM hose can be used with all hose connections (of the appropriate size) from Alphacool's Icicle or HF series.
