Kylrör Alphacool 8745983

The Alphacool 8745983 cooling tube is made from durable polyethylene terephthalate (PETG) with a transparent finish. Designed for custom water-cooling systems, the tube provides a neat, structured appearance and is compatible with Alphacool HardTube fittings. It has a maximum operating temperature of 60 °C, an outer diameter of 1.6 cm and weighs 0.291 kg.

Advantages

PETG construction offers improved flexibility and easier handling compared with acrylic, allowing bending at lower temperatures when using the correct bending tools. The transparent finish helps visual inspection of coolant flow. The tube is compatible with Alphacool connectors and can be sawed to the required length for precise installation.

Suitable for

• Custom PC water-cooling loops
• Replacement or upgrade of tubing in Alphacool HardTube systems
• Builds requiring clear coolant visibility and neat tubing runs

How to use

Measure the required length for your cooling loop and saw the PETG tube cleanly to size. Use appropriate PETG bending tools and apply controlled heat to bend the tube to the desired shape; PETG bends at lower temperatures than acrylic, which simplifies the process. Install the cut and bent tube into Alphacool HardTube fittings, ensuring connectors seat fully for a tight seal. Check all connections and perform a leak test before powering the system.

Recommendations

Use a proper tube cutter or fine-toothed saw for clean ends, wear heat-resistant gloves when bending, and always perform a pressure or leak test after installation. Avoid exposing the tube to temperatures above the specified maximum operating temperature.
