What it does

A sleeve with two G1/4 internal threads is useful when you want to extend connections, or join a component that has an external thread to a fitting. The 90 degree bend makes it practical where a straight sleeve would not have room.

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; this one is Chrome. 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. It adds that the Alphacool name in blue lettering on some of the fittings additionally underlines the individuality of these items.

What a run needs

Each end takes a part with a G1/4 outer thread, such as one of our fittings or the threaded stub on a component. The connector has no tube connection of its own.

Notes

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