Fitting Alphacool 17470 — brass chrome PC water-cooling fitting, height 20 mm, weight 23 g

Alphacool 17470 is a chrome-plated brass fitting designed for PC water-cooling systems. With a compact height of 20 mm and a mass of 23 g, this metal fitting is intended to connect tubing and components within custom liquid-cooling loops. The brass construction with chrome finish provides mechanical strength and enhanced corrosion resistance for long-term use in desktop cooling setups. The fitting is compatible with common soft and hard tubing formats used in PC cooling.

Advantages

The brass body offers robust mechanical durability while the chrome plating reduces surface corrosion and simplifies cleaning. Its compact 20 mm height helps save space in tight case layouts and allows for precise component placement. At 23 g the fitting balances solidity with minimal added weight to tubing runs. The metal design improves leak resilience compared with lower-grade plastic alternatives.

Suitable for

• Custom PC liquid-cooling loops using soft or hard tubing
• Tight case builds where compact fittings are required
• Replacement of worn or damaged metal fittings in desktop cooling systems
• Systems requiring corrosion-resistant connector components

Key specifications

• Material: brass with chrome finish
• Height: 20 mm
• Weight: 23 g
• Intended use: PC water-cooling fittings for tubing and component connections

How to use

Install the fitting by seating it securely into the corresponding port or tubing end and tightening according to the connector type in your cooling loop. Ensure tubing is cut square and pushed fully onto the fitting to create a secure seal; use appropriate clamps, compression rings or o-rings if your setup requires them. After installation, perform a pressure or leak test on the loop before powering the system to verify correct sealing and placement.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, pair the fitting with compatible-quality tubing and routinely inspect seals and connections for signs of wear or corrosion. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents on the chrome finish and tighten fittings to manufacturer torque guidelines to prevent overtightening or damage.
