Conector furtun Alphacool 17591 crom, filet 1/4 inch

The Alphacool 17591 Chrome 1/4" thread hose connector is a metallic fitting designed for liquid cooling loops in computer systems. It has a chrome finish and compact dimensions (approximately 20 mm width and 21 mm depth) to provide a reliable sealed connection between tubing and threaded ports. The connector is intended to integrate with standard 1/4" threaded coolant ports and offers a stable mechanical joint while maintaining the flow path for coolant in custom and prebuilt water-cooling setups.

Advantages

The chrome plating gives the fitting a durable, corrosion-resistant surface and a uniform aesthetic that matches other metal components in a cooling loop. Its 1/4" thread ensures compatibility with commonly used threaded ports and adapters in PC water-cooling systems. The compact footprint helps minimize space occupation inside cases or radiators while preserving flow characteristics and mechanical stability.

Suitable for

• Connecting soft or semi-rigid tubing to 1/4" threaded ports on radiators, pumps, reservoirs, or water blocks
• Custom PC liquid cooling loops where a chrome finish is preferred for visual consistency
• Replacement or upgrade of existing hose fittings that use a 1/4" threaded connection

Key specifications

• Material: metal with chrome-plated surface
• Connecting thread: 1/4" (female/male compatibility depends on mating part)
• Approximate dimensions: 20 mm width × 21 mm depth
• Finish: polished chrome appearance
• Application: liquid cooling fittings for computer systems

How to use

Inspect the mating threads on both the connector and the device to ensure they are clean and undamaged. Hand-start the thread to avoid cross-threading, then tighten until snug; use appropriate tools where specified by the system manufacturer but avoid over-tightening which can damage threads or crush tubing. If required, pair the connector with compatible hose clamps or barbed inserts for soft tubing, or use compression fittings if the connector design supports them. After installation, perform a pressure or leak test following standard PC water-cooling procedures before powering the system.

Recommendations

Use the connector with tubing and ports rated for PC liquid cooling and verify thread compatibility prior to installation. Periodically check fittings for tightness and signs of corrosion or wear, especially after initial runs and system transport. Avoid using incompatible sealing compounds or excessive torque; if additional sealing is needed, use products recommended for metal-to-metal thread connections in cooling systems.
