Alphacool Eiszapfen 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD G1/4 Compression Fitting - Black Sixpack (17228)

The Alphacool Eiszapfen 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD G1/4 Compression Fitting - Black Sixpack is a pack of six straight compression fittings with a G1/4 thread. They take 13/10 mm soft tube (10 mm inner, 13 mm outer diameter, sold here as 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD).

Properties

• Thread: G1/4
• Tube size: 13/10 mm (13 mm OD, 10 mm ID)
• Angle: Straight
• Color: Deep Black
• Pieces in the pack: 6

Model: Straight Socket 13/10mm

This connector has a G1/4 thread on one side, and Alphacool says it is thereby compatible with 95% of components. The other side fits a 13/10mm hose, which the data sheet describes as secured by screw connection.

Sixpack

Since six connectors of one type are frequently required, Alphacool now offers sixpacks. It says this has many advantages to your benefit.

The Eiszapfen connector series

Alphacool calls its Eiszapfen Connector Series the high-end execution of these tried-and-true connectors. It says every requirement you could have of a connector is met with this series: highflow, form, processing and color. In Alphacool's words, a refusal to compromise in development and production has made the series into what it is. Components are available in brilliant chrome or a deep, matte black, and Alphacool says both will fit excellently into any system.

A special procedure binds the outer coating firmly to the surface. Alphacool says this is improving the longevity of the intense color and preventing any chipping or peeling of the coating. Every connector now has the Alphacool logo, which along with their distinctive shape makes them unmistakable.

The series text also covers Alphacool's 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, these will even light up in the corresponding color. Alphacool's scope of delivery for this article lists the six-pack of fittings and nothing else.

What a run needs

The thread screws into any G1/4 port, and the hose side takes soft tube. A tube run takes two fittings, one at each end, so the six in this pack cover three runs.
