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 1/4" thread on one side, and Alphacool says it is thereby compatible with 95% of components. The fitting is bent 90° 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, and tube to match is in our 16mm hard tubing section. Alphacool's own shop lists the fitting as a screw-on nozzle.
Technical Specifications
The material is brass and the color is chrome. The dimensions are 45 mm in length and 29 mm in width.
Notes
- Alphacool's note on application: use the fitting only with clear, transparent water cooling fluids.
- It says the particles and additives in Pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage water cooling products such as radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses.
