Common Applications

YK1208, YK1410, and YK1612 are 500mm lengths of transparent PMMA acrylic rigid tubing for custom water cooling. YK1208 is 8mm ID by 12mm OD, YK1410 is 10mm ID by 14mm OD, and YK1612 is 12mm ID by 16mm OD; pair each with the matching hardline compression fitting (OD12, OD14, or OD16). The tube is bendable with a heat gun once a silicone insert is fed inside; once cooled it holds the bend permanently. Cut ends must be square and deburred so the O-rings inside the fitting can seal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the three sizes and which fittings do they pair with?

A: YK1208 is 8x12mm and pairs with OD12 hardline fittings; YK1410 is 10x14mm with OD14 fittings; YK1612 is 12x16mm with OD16 fittings.

Q: What material is used?

A: Transparent PMMA acrylic. It is rigid at room temperature and softens for bending at around 130 to 160 C with a heat gun.

Q: How long is each piece?

A: 500mm per length. Quantity per order follows the listing; a single Lot in the manufacturer documentation is typically two pieces.

Q: How are bends made without crushing the tube?

A: Insert a silicone bending cord that matches the inner diameter, heat the bend zone evenly with a heat gun, form the shape, and let it cool before removing the insert.

Q: Does this tube work with any coolant?

A: It is compatible with standard non-aggressive PC coolants. Avoid coolants flagged as not safe for acrylic, which can cause hazing or cracking.
