Alphacool 17247 Cooling System Accessory

The Alphacool 17247 cooling system accessory is a compact angled fitting designed for liquid cooling loops in PC builds. Finished in nickel and silver, it provides a 45° angle and a 1/4" connecting thread to redirect tubing or hardline runs in confined spaces. With overall dimensions of approximately 18.5 mm width, 18.5 mm height and 35 mm depth, the fitting is intended to minimize space usage while maintaining a durable metal construction suitable for long-term use in cooling systems.

Advantages

This cooling accessory combines a corrosion-resistant metal finish with a compact footprint to offer reliable flow direction changes in water-cooling circuits. The 45° angle reduces stress on tubing and hardline bends compared with sharper turns, while the 1/4" thread provides a standard connection for many liquid-cooling components. Low weight and small dimensions make it suitable for tight layouts without adding significant bulk.

Suitable for

• Routing coolant tubing or rigid tubing in compact PC cases
• Changing flow direction where a gentle 45° bend is required
• Integration into custom water-cooling loops and radiator connections

Key specifications

• Finish: nickel and silver
• Connection thread: 1/4" (quarter-inch)
• Angle: 45°
• Dimensions (approx.): 18.5 mm (W) × 18.5 mm (H) × 35 mm (D)
• Weight: 0.1 kg

How to use

Install the fitting into the appropriate 1/4" threaded port of your cooling component, ensuring threads are clean and free of debris. Tighten to a snug fit by hand and finish with a suitable tool if necessary, avoiding excessive torque that could damage threads or compress seals. Connect tubing or hardline to the other side, confirm orientation provides the desired 45° routing, and check for proper sealing before filling the loop with coolant. Perform a leak test at low pressure or with the system powered off but pump running to verify connections.

Recommendations

Use compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for liquid-cooling systems if required by your build. Periodically inspect metal fittings for signs of wear or corrosion, and avoid overtightening during installation to preserve the integrity of threads and gaskets.
