Hard Tubing Bitspower 16mm OD / 500mm Length Brass None Chamfer (blue)

Bitspower hard tubing in brass with a 16 mm outer diameter and 500 mm length features a none chamfer end profile and a blue finish designed for custom PC watercooling systems. The rigid brass tube provides consistent dimension and surface quality suitable for precision bending and clean, repeatable connections with compatible fittings. This tubing is intended for users building or modifying closed-loop liquid cooling where rigid, durable tubing and precise length are required.

Advantages

The brass construction offers mechanical strength and dimensional stability compared with softer materials, helping to maintain shape after bending and during long-term operation. The 16 mm outer diameter provides a robust appearance and supports a range of rigid fittings; the 500 mm length reduces the need for multiple joins in many layouts. The none chamfer end profile yields a straight cut edge that can simplify alignment with compression fittings and allow a flush seating when using appropriate connectors. The blue finish gives a uniform aesthetic and resists corrosion when installed inside a properly maintained loop.

Suitable for

• Custom PC watercooling loops with rigid tubing
• Systems requiring precise tubing lengths and repeatable bends
• Builds using compression or rigid fittings compatible with 16 mm OD tubing
• Environments where mechanical strength and dimensional stability are important

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Outer diameter: 16 mm
• Length: 500 mm
• End profile: none chamfer (straight cut)
• Finish: blue

How to use

Measure the required length for each run and mark the tube before cutting. Use an appropriate rigid tubing cutter or saw suitable for brass to achieve a clean, perpendicular cut; deburr the inner and outer edges to ensure proper seating in fittings. When bending, heat the section gradually and use a suitable mandrel or bending tool designed for metal hard tubing to avoid crimping. Install the tubing into compatible fittings, ensuring the straight cut end seats fully in compression rings or connectors and tighten according to the fitting manufacturer's torque recommendations. Flush and pressure-test the loop after assembly to confirm sealing and system integrity.

Recommendations

Use compatible fittings rated for 16 mm outer diameter rigid tubing and follow standard safety procedures when cutting and bending brass. Maintain coolant quality and perform periodic inspections to prevent corrosion and ensure long-term reliability.
