Question Advice needed on rigid tubing internal diameter ?

[Necr0Manced]

Hi all,
I am planning to rebuild my current rig into a new case and add water cooling with rigid tubing. I’ve already ordered my fittings, 12/16mm from Bykski. While looking for frosted 16mm OD tubing I only found one possibility. Alpha cool has 16mm frosted acrylic but the ID is listed as 13mm, not 12mm.
Since rigid tubing doesn’t have an inner barb, I think it doesn’t matter but I wanted to get a second opinion so to speak. Anybody?

thanks!

if you're able to source other brands of tubing, like EKWB's or their ilk so you're not limited to working with one brands tubing.

Can you pass on a link to fittings you purchased? The fittings should be functional using O rings and the outer collar offering a compression action on the tube to hold it in place. Rigid tube fittings don't have an inner barb, no.

Lastly, you could read into the watercooling sticky linked in my sig space, helps you brush up on things you might've overlooked or forgotten or missed.
