Replacement Tube for Hydration Reservoirs

Hydration tubes can wear out over time, become damaged, collect residue or simply need replacement after heavy use. The Source Replacement Tube Kit is designed as a practical replacement tube for compatible Source hydration systems.

It is suitable for users who want to restore their hydration setup without replacing the entire reservoir.

Insulating Woven Tube Cover

The included woven hose cover provides insulation and UV protection. This helps reduce heat transfer from direct sunlight and can help keep the drinking water cooler from the first sip to the last.

The cover also adds an extra layer of protection against abrasion and environmental exposure during outdoor use.

Co-Ex Drinking Tube

The tube is described as a Co-Ex drinking tube. It is designed for hydration use and provides a flexible drinking line between the reservoir and valve.

Regular cleaning and drying are important for maintaining hygiene and taste, especially after use with anything other than clean water.

Valve and Connector Compatibility

The replacement tube is compatible with Helix and Storm valves. It also includes a connector compatible with SQC systems.

Before purchase, check that your hydration reservoir, valve and connector system match the listed compatibility.

IRR Coating

The tube cover includes an IRR coating intended to help reduce infrared signature. This feature is useful for tactical and professional users who require equipment with reduced visibility under certain infrared observation conditions.

IRR properties depend on the wider equipment setup, environment and observation conditions.
