1. Alphacool Hose 13/10mm
Hoses are the lifeblood of the water cooling system. Here is the latest generation from Alphacool.
Deep, vibrant colors and pleasant handling during installation and connection were our guidelines in hose development. The product consists of hoses in various sizes and colors such as red, green, blue, or black.
In developing the hoses, we made sure that no color particles from the coolant would burden the water circuit anymore; instead, the power of color comes from the hose itself.
In addition to color, the bending and kink behavior of the hoses is of great interest. Bridging tight bending radii and providing comfortable handling in tricky spots were prioritized. This was optimized to perfection through various plastic blends, resulting in a hose that harmonizes the sometimes conflicting developmental goals and will impress both beginners and advanced water cooling users.
Manufacturing in Germany ensures consistently high quality. Years of experience in production guarantee that only the best product is sold.

2. Alphacool Hose 13/10mm UV blue
Hoses are the lifelines in the water cooling system! Here is the latest generation from Alphacool! Depth, bold colors and comfortable handling when laying and connecting were our specifications for the hose development. The product are hoses in different sizes and colors like red, green, blue or black. In the development of the hoses, we deliberately worked to ensure that no color particles from the coolants would have to pollute the water circuit; instead, the power of the color comes from the hose. In addition to the color, the laying and kinking behavior of hoses is of course of great interest. The bridging of tight bending radii and pleasant handling in tricky places were also given priority here. This was optimized to perfection by using various plastic compounds, and we now have a hose that reconciles the sometimes development-inhibiting, opposing goals and will convince both the beginner and the advanced water cooling user! The production in Germany promises consistently high quality. Manufacturing with years of experience ensures that only the best product is always sold.

5. EKWB EK-Tube ZMT hose 16/12 mm
With the EK-Tube ZMT, the traditional Slovenian manufacturer EK Water Blocks presents its own water cooling tube, manufactured according to its own ideas of perfect tubing that brilliantly fulfils the very special requirements of long-lasting, highly potent water cooling. "ZMT" stands for "Zero Maintenance Tubing", i.e. absolutely maintenance-free. The EK tube, which is offered here with a diameter of 16/12 mm, is a stylish matt black EPDM rubber tube that offers high industrial quality.
This hose is manufactured by EK Water Blocks to withstand the harshest conditions over long periods of time, unlike neoprene hoses. It offers a truly outstanding service life, even when exposed to UV, ozone or heat for several years.
In contrast to plastic products made of PVC or PUR, the EPDM rubber of the EK-Tube ZMT does not run the risk of plasticisers being washed out over the long term, which then slag the cooling circuit and reduce the effective cooling performance. In addition, the EPDM rubber used here also allows very tight bending radii thanks to its elasticity and stability. The hose offered here is black and has an outer diameter of 16 mm and an inner diameter of 12 mm.
Note: This is a 3 metre long piece of hose that is supplied in retail packaging.
Technical details:
- Diameter (outer/inner): 16/12 mm
- Length: 3 metres
- Colour: Matt black
- Material: EPDM
- Operating temperature: -30 to 110 °C.

6. EKWB EK-Tube ZMT tube 16/11 mm
With the EK-Tube ZMT, the Slovenian traditional manufacturer EK Water Blocks presents its own water cooling hose, designed according to its vision of perfect tubing that meets the special requirements of a durable, high-performance water cooling system. "ZMT" stands for "Zero Maintenance Tubing," meaning it requires absolutely no maintenance. The EK-Tube, offered here with a diameter of 16/11 mm, is a stylish matte black hose made of EPDM rubber, providing high industrial quality.
This hose is manufactured by EK Water Blocks to withstand the toughest conditions over long periods, similar to what neoprene hoses can achieve. It offers an outstanding lifespan, even when exposed to UV, ozone, or heat for several years.
Unlike plastic products made from PVC or PUR, the EPDM rubber of the EK-Tube ZMT does not pose the risk of plasticizers leaching out over time, which can clog the water cooling circuit and reduce effective cooling performance. Furthermore, the EPDM rubber used here allows for very tight bending radii due to its elasticity and stability. The hose offered here is black and has an outer diameter of 16 mm and an inner diameter of 11 mm.
Note: The hose is delivered exclusively as a complete piece, with the ordered quantity corresponding to the total length in meters. So, if you order 1 piece, you will receive 1 m of hose; for 2 pieces, you will receive 2 m of hose, and so on.
Technical details:
- Diameter (outer/internal): 16/11 mm
- Length: 1 m (more depending on the ordered quantity)
- Color: Matte black
- Material: EPDM
- Operating temperature: -30 to 110 °C.
