Cooling System Accessory Alphacool 17248

The Alphacool 17248 cooling system accessory is a compact 90° angled connector designed for liquid cooling setups. Finished in black, it provides a neat right-angle routing option with a 1/4" connecting thread and small footprint (18 mm width, 32 mm depth, 18 mm height). This component is intended to integrate into PC water-cooling loops where a space-saving, precise change of direction is required.

Advantages

The product's right-angle geometry enables clean tubing runs and helps avoid kinks in tight installations. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for dense layouts inside cases or radiators where clearance is limited. The standardized 1/4" thread ensures compatibility with common fittings and components used in liquid-cooling systems. The black finish provides a low-profile visual appearance that blends with most PC interiors.

Suitable for

• Routing coolant lines in compact PC cases and tight compartments
• Changing flow direction near radiators, pumps, or blocks
• Building or upgrading custom water-cooling loops

Key specifications

• Angle: 90°
• Connecting thread: 1/4"
• Colour: Black
• Dimensions (W × D × H): 18 mm × 32 mm × 18 mm
• Application: Liquid cooling systems for computers

How to use

Install the fitting by screwing it into a compatible female 1/4" port until hand-tight, then secure with a wrench if necessary while avoiding over-tightening. Attach tubing or compression fittings as required by your cooling loop configuration, making sure seals and O-rings are properly seated to prevent leaks. Position the 90° elbow so tubing follows the intended path and verify there is sufficient clearance from adjacent components.

Recommendations

Prior to pressurizing the loop, perform a leak test with the system isolated from power for several hours. Use compatible sealing materials and check for contact with sharp edges; replace any damaged O-rings and avoid excessive torque when tightening to maintain thread and seal integrity.
