EK Launches Reinforced EPDM Tubing for the EK Pro Line
EK, the leading computer cooling solutions provider, is expanding its soft tubing portfolio by releasing a new tubing option from the EK Pro line. The new EK-Pro Tubing Reinforced EPDM, as the product name suggests, are soft water-cooling tubes made from reinforced EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber).
This durable matte black tubing is designed to withstand harsh conditions for very long periods of time. It offers a truly exceptional lifespan as it can resist UV, ozone, and heat exposure for many years, while its thick rubber walls prevent the coolant from evaporating.
EK offers two tubing dimensions, both of which can be purchased "per meter" to match your needs and desires:
EK-Pro Tubing Reinforced EPDM is validated with MegaCrimp (-40 to 20) and GlobalSpiral Plus (-24).
Unlike most PVC and PUR tubing, this high-quality EPDM rubber tubing from EK ensures long-lasting operation and doesn't suffer from a plasticizer leaching effect that can cause blockage (gunking) in your liquid cooling loop. It is guaranteed to be hassle-free even in the long run, which is something other PVC or PUR tubings cannot offer.
Availability and Pricing
The EK-Pro Tubing Reinforced EPDM tubing is manufactured in Slovenia, Europe, and is available for pre-order through the EK Webshop. The product is expected to ship out in late April 2023. The table below shows the manufacturer-suggested retail price (MSRP), VAT included.

Buy your own at 1/5th the price... and the stuff EK sells is seemingly lesser quality; look at the braiding. :shadedshu:
The only thing EK does not offer. They do not sell off their quick disconnects unless you purchase the complete - kit. I believe the kit is over priced.

The only thing I really wonder is about the installation of some kind??? Is there anything that keeps the coolant cool?
I am thinking out loud.
The reinforced tubing is $536 for 100ft. They don't sell 1m lengths but if I interpolate from 5ft, that comes to $23 for 1m which google tells me is around 20 euros. In other words, EK is cheaper.
