High flow

Alphacool says its fittings go new ways in looks, quality of manufacturing, colors and choice. In its words the inner diameter truly deserves the "high flow" attribute.

Finish and colors

Chrome is one of the first three colors of the range, next to Deep Black and Shiny Copper, which Alphacool says offer something for every taste. Alphacool designed the product matching series to look elegant in every system while highlighting the individual design of the computer. With these fittings in combination with Alphacool tubing, the maker says, the limits are endless. A new process during chromatising (chromating) leaves the surface finish completely connected with the brass body, hence ensuring permanent intense colors. Alphacool adds that it prevents peeling of the chrome layer. On some of the fittings the Alphacool name in blue lettering additionally underlines the individuality of these items.

What a run needs

A hose run takes two fittings, one at each end, and each screws into a G1/4 port.

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.
