About this part

The Soft Copper Tubing 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD is certified for drinking (potable) water, this copper Alloy 122 tubing is also called copper pipe. It has a seamless construction, which provides a smooth interior surface. It comes in a bulk coil that has a soft annealed temper. Normally used for plumbing applications we found it can be used with great effectiveness as a delivery system for your coolant. The added copper in your system can't hurt bringing temperatures down in transition between components. By absorbing heat from the coolant the copper tube can dissipate this heat easily with any kind of average internal airflow in your chassis. Primochill Rigid compression fittings work nice and snug even with some mild movement and twisting.

Before you install it

This is a component, not an assembly — how it goes in depends on the loop it is joining. What does not change is the last step: leak test before power. Run the pump on a bench supply with the rest of the system unpowered. 24 hours is the standard, an hour is the minimum.

Custom water cooling is installed by you, at your own risk. We are not responsible for leaks, or for damage to your parts or system. If you're unsure at any step, ask before you power the loop.
