PVC-slang Aqua-Computer Rev. 2 16/10 mm, transparant

Aqua-Computer PVC Tubing Rev. 2 16/10 mm is a transparent, flexible plastic hose designed for liquid routing in custom cooling loops and general fluid connections. With an outer diameter of 16 mm and an inner diameter of 10 mm, this tubing provides a clear view of flowing liquid while maintaining compatibility with fittings and clamps commonly used for 16/10 mm tubing. The material and dimensions are chosen to balance flexibility, flow capacity and visual clarity for visible installations.

Advantages

The transparent PVC construction allows visual monitoring of coolant flow and fluid condition without disassembly. Its flexibility simplifies routing through tight spaces and around components while reducing kinking when properly installed. The 16/10 mm dimensions ensure compatible fit with standard compression fittings and hose clamps, enabling secure, leak-resistant connections. PVC offers chemical resistance suitable for many common cooling fluids and additives when used as intended.

Suitable for

• Custom PC water-cooling loops with clear tubing requirements
• External and visible fluid lines where transparency is desired
• Laboratory or prototype setups needing easy visual inspection of flow
• General low-pressure liquid transport and coolant circulation

Key specifications

• Material: transparent PVC
• Outer diameter: 16 mm
• Inner diameter: 10 mm
• Flexible construction for routing and bending
• Compatible with standard 16/10 mm fittings and hose clamps

How to use

Cut tubing to the required length with a sharp blade or tubing cutter to ensure a straight, clean edge. Slide the tubing over barbed fittings or into compression fittings until fully seated; use appropriate clamps or fittings tightened to manufacturer torque recommendations to prevent leaks. When routing, avoid sharp bends that can restrict flow; use gentle curves or additional fittings to change direction. Flush the tube with compatible coolant before assembly if cleanliness is required.

Recommendations

Inspect tubing regularly for signs of hardening, discoloration or deposits when used with additives. Replace tubing if any deformation or compromised flexibility is observed. Use coolant types and additives confirmed compatible with PVC to avoid accelerated wear or chemical damage. For visible installations, plan routing and securing points to maintain a neat appearance and prevent stress at connection points.
