The Eiszapfen series

Eiszapfen is the connector series that Alphacool describes as the high-end execution of these tried-and-true fittings. By its account everything you want in a compression fitting is here: highflow, form, processing and color. Alphacool puts that down to a refusal to compromise in development and production, which it says has made the series into what it is. The fittings are available in brilliant chrome or a deep, matte black, and Alphacool says either will fit excellently into any system. The Technical Specifications give the material of this model as brass.

Coating and logo

The outer coating is held firmly on the surface: a special procedure binds the two. Alphacool says that is improving the longevity of the intense color and preventing any chipping or peeling of the coating. Every connector now has the Alphacool logo, which along with their distinctive shape makes them unmistakable, in Alphacool's words.

How it holds the tube

The union nut's corners are slanted. They allow the O-ring to be pressed firmly against the HardTube, ensuring it sits even more securely than before. Alphacool says this allows for greater safety in transport.

What a run needs

There is a G1/4 thread on one side, and Alphacool says the fitting is thereby compatible with 95% of components. The other side fits a 16mm acrylic or brass tube. The fitting is bent in the middle to avoid complicated hose connections, and the threaded side is rotatable for maximum flexibility. A tube run takes two fittings, one at each end, and matching tube is in our 16mm hard tubing section.
