💧 EKWB EK-Tube Zero Maintenance Soft Tubing, 9.5/15.9mm (3/8" ID, 5/8" OD), 3 Meter, Black: Durable and Hassle-Free Tubing for Optimal Liquid Cooling System Review

This control hose. Seriously.PRO: Constructed of material that will not degrade in water-cooled conditions. Doesn't stand up to heat, ozone, coolants, etc. - strong yet flexible. You can bend it quite a bit without over-bending it. You will never accidentally cut it - there are almost no marks on the sides of the hose. While this makes it harder to identify, it's also a lot prettier when finished. - Beautiful matte black finish. Reminds me of hoses from the automotive industry. - No…

I like it very much. Super durable. You won't accidentally cut it. You will need a pipe cutter to cut it. Amazing bending possibilities. Don't worry about plasticizers breaking down or washing out. This is what you need for extreme water loops.

Great looking tubes, very clean. Using this alongside EK fittings, get ready for a shredded battlefield at your fingertips.

This hose is 1/4 inch thick. It can handle tight turns without buckling. Force is required to hand tighten compression fittings with this soft tubing. Install it without tools and I don't use a hair dryer. I suggest you preinstall the one with limited storage first. In one connection I have a situation where the tubing is fairly tight on the compression fitting, but the tubing tends to loosen the G1/4 thread once I let go. In this case, one way is to use a hex wrench around to tighten the g1…

Unfortunately, even in combination with good quality EK fittings of the right size, Quantum Torque, I had to put in too much trouble just to get the ZMT (10/16 mm or 3/8" x 5/8" "), and after simulating the first cycle, my hands were blistered and cut in places. Separating each pass was just as absurdly difficult, and I was genuinely concerned that I might damage my hardware if I tried to hack attachments. Of course, boiling water or a heat gun would make the ZMT easier to work with, but since…

What can I say other than I love this thing. It bends easily but doesn't wrinkle. Looks great paired with such beautiful chrome. Don't worry about fogging up or adding that white powder to the loop like other tubes.

Excellent Tubes. Flexible yet strong. I love matte black. Easy to use. Ideal for tight spaces. Makes curves easy. I have used Primochill for all my builds but will be using EK now. I noticed that I applied much stiffer which makes it harder to bend. I can only recommend EK tubes. No problem.

Let me explain four stars - this is the best soft snorkel I have ever used. Not sure if this is a COVID/availability issue or something else, but $46 for a 10ft tube is a bit pricey. You can buy any other tube from 3M for half the price, including the thicker zmt. The tough maintenance-free tubing is a little tight as all the loops need it, but without transparency it doesn't rub off, really bites. pleasant to the taunts of EKWB and keeps his dorm. I would still recommend it despite the price I
