The Eiszapfen series

Alphacool calls its Eiszapfen connector series the high-end execution of its tried-and-true fittings. By its account everything you want in a compression fitting is here: highflow, form, processing and color. It credits a refusal to compromise in development and production for what has made the series into what it is. Fittings 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, 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, in Alphacool's words.

For anyone looking for colorful options, Alphacool's series text says the O-rings in the shipment come in three colors. With the available UV-light option, it says, these will even light up in the corresponding color.

What the loop needs

Each side screws into one G1/4 inner thread, so the adapter joins two ports or two parts with female threads directly.

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.
