Description
1/2-Inch EPDM Hose for Liquid Cooling Applications
The Gates 1/2 in. Data Master Data Center Cooling Hose is a high-performance fluid transfer hose engineered to balance flow efficiency with the space constraints of modern server environments. 1/2-inch diameter is a strategic choice for high-density racks because it handles higher heat loads and achieves a lower pressure drop compared to smaller lines, allowing cooling pumps to operate more efficiently.
Gates Data Master hoses are made with a zinc-free, peroxide-cured EPDM tube that ensures best-in-class compatibility with deionized water-glycol mixtures like PG25 while preventing metal-related fluid contamination over time. For maximum safety in data center white space areas, the hose includes a flame-resistant cover that meets UL94V-0 and UL224 VW-1 standards.
The Data Master series is specifically designed with a narrower profile and superior flexibility to simplify routing in complex, tight-access configurations.
- Protects System Purity: Metal-free, peroxide-cured inner tube prevents extractables from compromising coolant quality
- High-Pressure Integrity: Maximum working pressure of 300 psi (2.1 MPa) with a minimum burst rating of 1,200 psi (8.3 MPa)
- Broad Temperature Range: Maintains structural integrity from -40° F to 212° F (-40° C to 100° C)
- Compact and Flexible: 0.73-inch O.D. with 2.8-inch (70mm) minimum bend radius that won’t kink in restricted spaces
- Versatile: Ideal for direct-to-chip, in-row/in-rack, and liquid immersion cooling systems
- Compatible with: Push-lock, lock-on, and crimped (GLX & SS) fittings for secure, leak-proof connections
