Quick-Release Fitting for Custom Loops

The Alphacool Eiszapfen 17440 is a G1/4 male quick-release coupling designed for custom water-cooling loops. It lets builders disconnect components such as radiators, reservoirs or pump tops without draining the system. The Deep Black brass finish matches dark-themed builds while maintaining full compatibility with standard G1/4 threads.

Spill-Free Maintenance Operation

Alphacool's N.D.S.L. technology seals the circuit automatically when the coupling is released, preventing drips or splashes during hardware swaps. The 86 by 32 by 32 millimetre brass body adds minimal flow restriction and requires no extra tools for daily use. Normal loop pressure holds the connection firm until the user deliberately uncouples it.

Upgrade from Threaded Compression Fittings

This fitting replaces fixed compression joints when you need frequent access to blocks or radiators for cleaning, testing or reconfiguration. The jump is worth it for loops that are opened several times a year; builders who never modify their loop after the first fill gain no practical benefit from the quick-release mechanism.

Questions about this item

How do I install the G1/4 male thread on my radiator, and what step do people skip?

Screw the 86 x 32 x 32 mm fitting into any G1/4 port on the radiator, reservoir or pump top by hand, then give a quarter-turn with a soft wrench; the step most people skip is checking that the O-ring seats evenly before pressurising the loop.

What part will need replacement after repeated connect and disconnect cycles?

The internal N.D.S.L. valve seals inside the quick-release male coupling wear over time and should be inspected annually; if dripping appears when uncoupled, replace the fitting.

What flow restriction appears first when the loop runs continuously at high pump speed?

The quick-release mechanism's internal valve orifice creates the primary pressure drop, so sustained high-flow operation will hit that restriction before the G1/4 thread or tubing becomes the bottleneck.
