The Eiszapfen series

Alphacool calls its Eiszapfen connector series the high-end execution of these tried-and-true fittings. It says everything you want in a compression fitting is here: highflow, form, processing and color. In its words, a refusal to compromise in development and production has made the series into what it is. The fittings are available in brilliant chrome or a deep, matte black, which Alphacool says will fit excellently into any system.

Coating and seal

A special procedure binds the outer coating firmly to the surface. According to Alphacool this helps the intense color last, improving its longevity and preventing any chipping or peeling of the coating. Every connector now has the Alphacool logo, and along with their distinctive shape that makes them unmistakable. The union nut's slanted corners 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

This model has a G1/4 thread on one side, and Alphacool says it is thereby compatible with 95% of components. Each fitting is bent in the middle to avoid complicated hose connections, and the threaded side turns for maximum flexibility. A tube run takes two fittings, one at each end, so the pack covers two runs. Tube to match is in our 16mm hard tubing section.
