Tubo rígido acrílico Barrow YK14-10L 14/12mm Transparente – longitud 10L

Barrow Acrylic Hardtube YK14-10L 14/12mm Transparent is a rigid clear tubing solution designed for custom liquid cooling loops in desktop PCs and workstations. The tube has an external diameter of 14 mm and an internal bore of 12 mm, with a straight length of 10 liters (10L) equivalent length piece intended for cutting and shaping during loop assembly. The transparent acrylic material provides an unobstructed view of coolant flow and allows for straightforward visual inspection of the loop.

Advantages

The acrylic construction offers high translucency and a consistent inner surface for smooth coolant flow and easy cleaning. Its rigid form maintains precise routing paths and keeps the loop layout tidy without sagging. The 14/12 mm sizing ensures compatibility with a broad range of standard compression fittings and adapters made for 14 mm OD / 12 mm ID tubes. The clear finish simplifies leak checks and aesthetic integration with colored coolants or flow indicators.

Suitable for

• Custom PC and workstation liquid cooling loops
• Cooling systems requiring visible coolant routing and leak monitoring
• Builds that use 14 mm OD / 12 mm ID compression fittings and adapters
• Bending and shaping with appropriate acrylic tubing benders and heat sources

Key specifications

• Material: Transparent acrylic (PMMA)
• Outer diameter: 14 mm
• Inner diameter: 12 mm
• Length: 10L equivalent straight section
• Surface: Smooth inner and outer finish for clear visibility

How to use

Measure and mark the required lengths, then cut the tube with a suitable acrylic tubing cutter or fine-toothed saw to obtain clean, square ends. Heat and bend the tube using a dedicated acrylic tube bender or controlled heat source, ensuring even heating to avoid kinks and stress fractures. Fit the prepared ends into compatible compression fittings, checking that seals and O-rings are correctly positioned before tightening. Perform a pressure or leak test with the loop filled and powered-off pump operation to verify sealing before regular use.

Recommendations

Handle acrylic tubing with care when cutting and bending; use PPE such as gloves and eye protection. Avoid excessive localized heating and overtightening of fittings to reduce the risk of cracking. Rinse and flush new tubing before installation to remove any manufacturing residues, and use compatible coolants to minimize material stress and discolouration over time.
