A sealed 3-meter roll of clear 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD soft tubing from EKWB — the flexible backbone of a soft-tube custom loop, at a price competitive with new retail.
🎯 Best Use Cases
- Building a soft-tube (flexible) custom water cooling loop.
- Extending or repairing an existing soft-tube loop.
- Loops with tight, irregular routing where hardline's rigid bends aren't practical.
- Beginner custom loop builds — soft tube is more forgiving to install than hardline.
- Combining with EKWB or other-brand fittings for a complete loop.
💰 Why This Is a Good Deal
EKWB soft tubing typically retails around $20-25 USD (roughly $30-35 CAD) per 3-meter length new. At $20 CAD, factory sealed, this comes in at or under typical new CAD pricing.
Soft tubing remains the easier entry point into custom loops compared to hardline — no bending, heat guns, or precise cuts required, just route and clamp.

What size fittings do I need for this tubing?
Fittings sized for 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD soft tubing — make sure any fittings you pair this with match that exact size.
Is soft tubing harder to install than hardline?
No, the opposite — soft tubing is generally considered more beginner-friendly since it flexes around obstacles without needing precise bending or cutting tools.
Does clear tubing yellow or stain over time?
It can develop slight discoloration over months of use depending on coolant choice and UV exposure — this is normal for PVC-based soft tubing.
