Alphacool Eiszapfen 16mm 45° Chrome Fitting

This Alphacool Eiszapfen fitting is a 45° compression connector designed for 16mm hard tubes made of plexi or brass. It features a durable chrome finish applied with a special procedure that resists chipping and peeling. The union nut uses slanted corners to press the O-ring firmly against the tube for a secure hold. Model 17404 measures 46mm in length, 23mm in width and 36mm in height.

For custom loops using 16mm rigid tubing

This connector suits builders assembling a custom water-cooling loop with 16mm outer-diameter rigid tubes who need a 45° change in direction. It is not intended for soft tubing installations or for situations requiring a straight pass-through or a different angle. The chrome coating matches other Eiszapfen components for a consistent look.

16mm hard-tube compatibility decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 16mm tube size for plexi or brass on both ends. If the loop uses a different outer diameter or flexible tubing, this fitting will not seal correctly. Verify the tube material and dimensions before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 45° angle do once the fitting is in the loop?

The 45° bend lets you route 16 mm hard tube around tight corners without forcing the tube into sharp bends that could kink or stress the O-ring seal.

Which tube standard does the 16 mm compression interface accept?

It takes 16 mm outer-diameter plexi or brass hard tube on both ends, sealing with the knurled union nut and internal O-ring.

What clearance does the 46 mm × 23 mm × 36 mm chrome brass body need for installation?

The fitting body measures 46 mm long, 23 mm wide and 36 mm high, so allow enough space around those dimensions to tighten both union nuts by hand or tool.
