Componente de sistema de refrigeração Alphacool 17257

The Alphacool 17257 is a compact nickel and silver cooling system part designed to improve heat dissipation in water-cooled PC loops. Machined to precise dimensions of 18mm x 20mm x 18mm, it provides a small-footprint solution where space is limited. The part includes a 1/4" connecting thread with compatible male and female connectors to integrate with a variety of fittings and tubing layouts.

Advantages

This Alphacool component combines corrosion-resistant nickel plating with silver-coloured finishes for consistent thermal contact and long-term stability. Its 1/4" threaded interface allows secure connections and reduces the risk of leaks when installed correctly. The compact dimensions make it suitable for tight installations without significantly altering flow dynamics in typical PC water-cooling loops.

Suitable for

• Custom PC water-cooling loops
• Tight or compact case builds where space is limited
• Replacement or upgrade of small inline cooling connectors
• Integration with 1/4" threaded fittings and tubing systems

Key specifications

• Material finish: nickel and silver appearance
• Thread type: 1/4" connecting thread (male/female compatible)
• Dimensions: 18 mm x 20 mm x 18 mm
• Compatibility: designed for standard PC water-cooling fittings and tubing with 1/4" threads

How to use

Before installation, ensure the cooling loop is drained and power to the system is turned off. Thread the part into the corresponding 1/4" fittings by hand to start, then tighten with an appropriate tool only until snug to avoid over-torquing. Verify that any included gaskets or O-rings are correctly seated to maintain a leak-free connection. After integration, refill the loop with the recommended coolant and perform a leak test at normal operating pressure before powering the computer.

Recommendations

Use compatible, non-conductive coolant and check fittings periodically for signs of corrosion or loosening. When working in confined spaces, plan connector orientation to minimize stress on tubing and reduce the need for repeated disassembly. If replacing an existing part, compare dimensions and thread type to ensure full compatibility.
