The most commonly used method for water cooling so far has been standard PVC hoses. Now, Alphacool offers another way to design a water cooling system. The HardTube variant brings even more order to the setup, giving it a much more structured appearance. Brand new are the brass tubes, available in Black Chrome and Chrome, as well as acrylic tubes, carbon, and borosilicate glass. With the appropriate fittings and a very simple functionality, these can be connected or attached absolutely leak-proof. The PETG tube can also be easily adjusted to the system with the right bending tool, without the need for additional angle pieces. To install the tubes into the system, they must be cut to the appropriate length. PETG tubes require lower temperatures than acrylic to bend and are generally a bit more flexible and easier to handle. The perfect introduction to the world of HardTubes.
