EK Goes Heavy Metal with EK-Loop Metal Tubes and Metal Cutter

EK, a Europe-based premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is releasing a new line of metal tubing for PC liquid cooling systems named EK-Loop Metal Tube. The tubes are available in all three popular outer diameter sizes—12 mm, 14 mm, and 16 mm—and are made of solid brass with varying finishes that offer more aesthetic choices to the user. They are available in two options: straight and pre-bent with a 90-degree bend. This pack contains two 0.5-meter-long metal tubes with an outer diameter (OD) of 12/14/16 mm. These brass tubes are perfect for builds utilizing straight runs from the components to an EK-Quantum Reflection distribution plate. The metal tube can be cut to size using a tube-cutting tool and installed straight, or bent to an angle using a pipe-bending tool. Bending metal tubes is not easy, so EK offers the pre-bent option with a 90-degree bend.

EK-Loop Metal Tube 12/14/16 mm 0.8 m Pre-Bent 90°: As mentioned before, bending metal tubes is not easy, which is why EK offers them in a 90-degree pre-bent option straight from the factory. These pre-bent brass tubes come with 90-degree bends, which is the most often used bend angle in PC water cooling. They come in 12, 14, and 16 mm outer diameters and in an 800-mm length. They can either be used as a significant quality-of-life upgrade for experienced builders to reduce the time needed to bend the tubes, or can greatly help novice builders who are inexperienced with tube bending. These tubes come in packs of two, each 800 mm long.

EK-Loop Metal Tube Cutting Tool
The EK-Loop Metal Tube Cutting Tool is a tube/pipe cutter that enables you to shorten rigid metal tubing for your custom loop. It’s made of stainless steel and can be adjusted to any tube size commonly used in hard-tube water-cooled PCs. It is perfect to couple with EK-Loop Metal Tubes to cut them to the exact size required for your build.
