Hey all, i'm looking to buy some PC upgrades within the next few days and I just wanted to make sure that all of this fits together as a few of the ID/OD measurements change on each page, and i'm half asleep so I just wanted another pair of eyes on it to make sure i'm not missing anything silly, thank you for the help it's hugely appreciated

The hose you've chosen will fit on the barbs in the kit which are 10mm.

SCRATCH THAT. Sorry, rubbish description by ek. Ok so basically the kit comes with compressions that support 10-13 tubing and you have chosen 10-16 tubing which will not fit.

Personally I would get clear tubing and then add colour with coolant, less chance of looking a bit dodgy.

Yeh I may just stick with the clear tubing it comes with as the UV Green Coolant should be more than enough already I would think, I just wanted to make sure the effect was as pronounced as possible, but with UV lights hopefully it will be

but thank you for the help then, as yeh I thought the description was just a tad confusing haha, but do the angled fittings still fit just fine? as they also use a different measurement but it does seem to match the other items descriptions with the compression fittings and tubing

and thank you for the help

the measurement given on those angled fittings is a thread type. I pretty sure that's the standard.

So you screw that fitting into the rad for example, then screw your compression into that fitting.

Not sure if ocuk do them, but you can get angled compressions that screw directly into rads etc.
oh, they do some 90 degree ones in your size.

Ahhh thank you, that is hugely appreciated

, and one final question as I havent heard it spoken about much, but I see a lot of people with UV coolant/tubing but regular LED fans/Cathodes in their case, surely the UV effect will not be visible/pronounced unless you add in a UV cathode/light too? or is the effect still noticable with regular cathodes/LED's? as I would have thought people would have their LED's but then add in UV Cathodes in a more hidden/secluded place to allow the UV light to be more pronounced and visible?
