This connector has a G1/4 thread on one side, and Alphacool says it is thereby compatible with 95% of components. A 16/10mm hose fits the other side. The middle of the connector is turned at a 90° angle in order to prevent complicated hose connections, and the threaded side is rotatable for maximum flexibility. The body is brass.

The Eiszapfen Connector Series

Alphacool describes its Eiszapfen Connector Series as the high-end execution of these tried-and-true connectors. By its account, every requirement you could have of a connector is met with this series: 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. Components are available in brilliant chrome or a deep, matte black, and Alphacool says either will fit excellently into any system.

A special procedure binds the outer coating firmly to the surface. Alphacool gives two reasons for it: improving the longevity of the intense color, and preventing any chipping or peeling of the coating. The Alphacool logo now sits on every connector, which along with their distinctive shape makes them unmistakable, Alphacool says.

Alphacool's series text also covers its HardTube connectors: the connecting 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. Anyone looking for colorful options has them, the series text adds: O-rings in the shipment that come in three colors. With the available UV-light option, Alphacool says, these will even light up in the corresponding color. Alphacool's scope of delivery for this fitting lists the fitting alone.

What a run needs

The thread screws into any G1/4 port, and the hose side takes soft tube from our 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD soft tubing section. A tube run takes two fittings, one at each end.

Notes

• Use only clear, transparent water cooling fluids. Alphacool warns that the particles and additives in pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses, which can void the manufacturer's warranty.
