3/8-Inch EPDM Hose for High-Density Server Cooling
The Gates 3/8 in. Data Master Data Center Cooling Hose is a high-performance fluid transfer hose engineered to balance flow capacity with impressive flexibility in high-density environments. This 3/8-inch inner diameter (ID) has become an industry standard because it comfortably handles the flow rates required for many server nodes (approx. 1 gallon per minute) without causing excessive pressure drops.
Featuring a zinc-free, peroxide-cured EPDM tube, the Data Master hose prevents fluid contamination and ensures best-in-class compatibility with deionized water-glycol mixtures like PG25. Its synthetic fiber braid reinforcement and flame-resistant cover offer critical fire safety for white space infrastructure.
Designed for precision routing where traditional hard piping is not an option, this hose offers a slim, flexible profile that can navigate complex internal layouts with a minimum bend radius of just 1.25 inches (31.75 mm) without kinking.
- Certified Fire Safety: Flame-resistant EPDM cover meets UL224 VW-1 and UL94V-0 standards
- Broad Temperature Range: Maintains structural integrity from -40° F to 212° F (-40° C to 100° C)
- High-Pressure Integrity: Rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psi (2.1 MPa) and a minimum burst pressure of 1,200 psi (8.3 MPa)
- Electronics Protection: Proprietary EPDM cover offers excellent ozone resistance to prevent material degradation
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for direct-to-chip liquid cooling, in-row/in-rack systems, and liquid immersion cooling
- Compatible with: Push-lock, lock-on style, and crimped (GLX & SS) fittings for leak-free connections
