High flow and colors

Alphacool says its fittings go new ways in looks, quality of manufacturing, color and choice. Its main claim is an inner diameter that truly deserves the "high flow" attribute. Chrome, Deep Black and Shiny Copper are the first three colors, and Alphacool says they offer something for every taste. The matching product series are designed to look elegant in every system, highlighting the individual design of the computer. In its words the limits are endless when these fittings are used in combination with Alphacool tubing.

Finish

The body is brass. With a new process during chromating, the surface finish is completely connected with it, hence ensuring permanent intense colors and no peeling or flaking of the chrome layer, Alphacool says. Some of the connectors in the series carry blue Alphacool lettering.

What a run needs

A tube run takes two fittings, one at each end. Each screws into a G1/4 port, and the hose to match is in our 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD soft tubing section.

Notes

• Alphacool's note on application: use the fitting only with clear, transparent water cooling fluids. The particles and additives in pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses.
