Fitting Alphacool 17218 Brass Chrome 9.75mm Depth 1.8cm Diameter

The Alphacool 17218 Brass Chrome fitting is a precision component for liquid cooling systems. Crafted from brass with a chrome finish, it provides a reliable connection point with a compact form factor. The fitting has a depth of 9.75 mm and an external diameter of 1.8 cm, and its 16 g weight makes it suitable for installations where low mass and solid performance are required. This part is intended to join tubing or components in water-cooling loops while maintaining mechanical stability and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures durability and good thermal and mechanical stability, while the chrome plating adds corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. Its compact depth and modest diameter allow for tight routing in confined cases or radiator assemblies. Low weight combined with robust material reduces strain on fittings and hoses and aids in maintaining leak-free connections when installed correctly.

Suitable for

• PC water-cooling loops and custom liquid cooling systems
• Connections between tubing and cooling components such as radiators, pumps, and blocks
• Small-form-factor builds and systems with limited internal clearance
• Replacement or upgrade of existing brass fittings in cooling circuits

Key specifications

• Material: brass with chrome finish
• Applicable depth: 9.75 mm
• External diameter: 1.8 cm
• Weight: 16 g
• Function: liquid cooling system fitting for tubing/component connections

How to use

Prepare the tubing and mating components by ensuring clean, debris-free surfaces. Slide or press the fitting into the tubing or port according to the type of connection used (push-fit, compression, or other compatible coupling). Verify that the depth and diameter match the tubing or port dimensions before assembly. Tighten or secure any clamps or locking rings required by your system to achieve a leak-free seal. After installation, perform a pressure or leak test with the system powered off to confirm proper sealing.

Recommendations

Use tubing and clamps that match the fitting's diameter and depth to ensure a secure connection. During installation, avoid over-tightening metal clamps which may deform soft tubing. Periodically inspect fittings for signs of corrosion or loosening, and perform a leak test after the first run and after any maintenance.
