Tube sleeving?

ManillaForce · Oct 30, 2012, 08:29 PM

I'm considering sleeving my tubing for my upcoming water cool build. Does anyone know of where I can buy sleeving big enough for tubing?

http://en.mdpc-x.com/ He may have big enough sleeving the best sleeving you can buy is from him.

Yes, this seems to be the only place I can find tube sleeving. Unfortunately they only sell black tube sleeving and I would like to use white. Are there any issues with painting the sleeving white?

I don't think it would look right if it was painted plus it may make it clump together and not have a little bit of flex.

This 3/4" should fit this just fine http://www.frozencpu.com/products/12...FQu0nQod8AYA8A

Get the right fittings/clamps and you will be in business... they also sell white clamps for that "super clean I love white" look.

Awesome, just what I was looking for!

glad i could help... also since you're sleeving the added wall thickness of the tubing will help with the kink resistance when not using coils.

I like the 3/4 tubing but I'm leaning toward 7/16 ID, 5/8 OD tubing, purely aesthetics. Since I can't find any 5/8 sleeving, is it possible to fit 1/2 sleeving over a 5/8 OD tube?

I don't think it will fit.
