Fitting Alphacool 17047 Brass Chrome 22mm 1.7cm

The Alphacool 17047 Brass Chrome 22mm 1.7cm fitting is a metal connector intended for liquid cooling systems. Manufactured from brass with a chrome-plated surface, the fitting provides a solid threaded or push connection point with a diameter of 1.7 cm and an outer width of 22 mm. With a compact form and a mass of approximately 26 g, it is suited to applications where durable, corrosion-resistant metal fittings are required to maintain leak-free coolant pathways and stable thermal performance.

Advantages

The brass construction combined with a chrome finish offers corrosion resistance and mechanical strength while keeping thermal conduction properties suitable for cooling loops. The compact dimensions and precise machining promote reliable seals and reduce the risk of leaks when installed correctly. Its metal body withstands repeated assembly and disassembly better than many plastic alternatives, supporting long-term system maintenance.

Suitable for

• Custom PC liquid cooling loops
• Radiator and pump connections in desktop cooling systems
• Replacement of worn or damaged metal fittings
• Small-scale liquid cooling projects requiring compact metal connectors

Key specifications

• Material: brass with chrome plating
• Outer width: 22 mm
• Nominal diameter: 1.7 cm (17 mm)
• Weight: approximately 26 g
• Finish: polished chrome surface

How to use

Install the fitting into the appropriate port on a radiator, pump, reservoir, or tubing assembly that matches the specified diameter. Ensure mating surfaces and threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Tighten the fitting by hand initially and finish with the appropriate tool to the manufacturer-recommended torque or until a secure, leak-free connection is achieved without over-tightening. Use compatible tubing and sealing methods (such as O-rings or thread sealant where applicable) to maintain proper coolant containment.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility of the fitting diameter and connection type with existing components before installation. Periodically inspect metal fittings for signs of corrosion, wear, or loosening and re-tighten or replace parts as necessary. When assembling or disassembling components, follow safe handling practices to avoid damaging plated surfaces.
