Watercooling Tube Sleeving [Modding]

Heya!

I've seen posts in the past asking how this is done, yet there never were any straight-forward instructions..

I'm actually not sure why I havn't posted this here yet, but here you go!

Disclaimer: This is NOT like the Cablemod AIO Sleeve, this is quite a bit more challenging.

I already summed all the steps up in an Imgur Post: https://imgur.com/a/nz8jE3F

Feel free to ask me any questions,

Or you can also use fuel hose which already has the braid on it.

If you tape the end it is a lot easier to put through fittings without it fraying.

Havn't used fuel hoses before so im not sure how this would end up.

Certainly a good Idea.

 

Regarding the tape at the end, from my experience you are better off without it since it WILL slide around once you tighten the fittings. Also having no tape makes it a cleaner look overall.

I'll look into fuel hoses tho, lets see if they hold up pressure tests once they are used compression fittings.

You remove the tape after putting the compressing ring on...

It's just to get the sleeving through without fraying.
