Tubing question

[couzo]

I plan on using alpha blocks as many of you know. I plan on using 10id/13od tubing with compression fittings I have incunjuction with my 1250 pump and 120.3 radiator. I assume the tubing will be fine for cool the alpha blocks I will be using (CPU/GPU/SB/HDS)

Do you plan on breaking the laws of physics at the same time? ^_^

If you mean 10mmOD and something like 8mm OD i believe that should be fine.

just changed it ;)

I haven't seen 13/10 compression fittings about, which ones are you using?

They don't sound like the most common thing, as Risky said i've not seen them either...

I am getting them from a friend in the US I wil ltry to find a link tonight for them. He uses them on his innovatek stuff and says they are great

Sorry to hi-jack the thread for my own purposes but i didn't want to start a seperate one for a little question.


Does anyone know roughly what the heat tolerances are for PVC, Nylon and any other types of hose used in a w/c setup?

[couzo]

in most case is is -15 to 60 degrees. It does depend on the type but that is the temp used for pvc tubing

60 degrees at the high end - hmmm, don't reckon it would hold up too well if used in a PSU then? I know some components in the box reach over 60 degrees...
