Barrow Acrylic Hardtube YK14-10 14/10mm 500mm Transparent hardline reservoir tube

Barrow Acrylic Hardtube YK14-10 14/10mm 500mm Transparent hardline reservoir tube is a rigid acrylic cooling tube designed for PC water-cooling loops and custom reservoir or distribution setups. With an outer diameter of 14 mm, inner diameter of 10 mm and a length of 500 mm, this transparent hardline provides a durable channel for coolant flow, allowing precise routing and clear visual display of coolant inside desktop systems.

Advantages

The acrylic construction combines rigidity with good optical clarity, making coolant colours and flow patterns clearly visible. Its precise 14/10 mm dimensions ensure compatibility with fittings and adapters made for these common hardline sizes. The 500 mm length is suitable for longer straight runs or for cutting to custom lengths while retaining structural integrity. The smooth internal surface helps maintain steady flow and reduces turbulence, supporting efficient loop performance.

Suitable for

• Custom PC water-cooling loops with hardline routing
• Building or extending acrylic reservoirs and distribution plates
• Visible coolant runs for aesthetic or diagnostic purposes
• Applications requiring rigid, leak-resistant tubing segments

Key specifications

• Material: Acrylic (rigid)
• Outer diameter: 14 mm
• Inner diameter: 10 mm
• Length: 500 mm
• Transparency: Clear/transparent
• Use: Hardline reservoir / coolant tube

How to use

Measure and mark the required length, then cut the tube using a suitable tube cutter or fine-toothed saw to obtain a square, burr-free end. Deburr and polish cut ends if necessary to ensure a smooth seal. Fit compatible compression fittings, adapters or reservoirs designed for 14/10 mm hardline tubing, and tighten according to the fitting manufacturer’s instructions to create a leak-resistant connection. When integrating into a loop, route the tube to avoid sharp bends and secure it with clamps or brackets where appropriate.

Usage recommendations

Inspect cut ends and fittings for proper seating before filling the loop. Flush the tube with distilled water prior to installation if using coloured additives or if residue might be present. Avoid exposing the acrylic tube to concentrated solvents or prolonged UV exposure to reduce the risk of crazing or discoloration.
