What it does

This angle adapter connects any fitting with a G1/4 thread through a 90 degree bend. The element is fixed, so it does not rotate, and Alphacool calls that ideal for giving the hose a precise direction.

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

The outer thread screws into a G1/4 port, and the inner thread takes one of our fittings with a G1/4 outer thread. 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.
