The Alphacool brass hard tubes give users the opportunity to add a unique look to their water cooling systems. The tubes are very stable with a wall thickness of 0.8 mm, yet they can still be easily processed and installed. Alphacool offers the brass hard tubes in Chrome and Black colors, both straight and pre-bent, as well as in various sizes. The chrome plating or coating is extremely durable. Scratches and chipping are only to be expected with significant force. When cutting the tubes, it is important to smooth the cut edges with a fine file, sandpaper, or the Alphacool Strong Guy tube and hose deburring tool, as sharp edges can damage the O-rings of fittings.
