Cooling System Accessory Alphacool 17249

The Alphacool 17249 is a 90° angled cooling system accessory designed for liquid cooling installations in desktop computers. Finished in nickel and silver, this compact component connects via a 1/4" thread and measures 18 mm wide, 32 mm deep and 18 mm high. It offers a space-saving right-angle solution that helps route coolant lines cleanly while maintaining reliable sealing and flow characteristics for custom water-cooling loops.

Advantages

The accessory’s 90° orientation reduces tubing strain and simplifies routing in tight cases or near other components. Its metal construction with nickel and silver finish provides corrosion resistance and mechanical durability for long-term use. The standardized 1/4" connecting thread ensures compatibility with common fittings and hoses used in PC cooling systems, allowing straightforward integration into existing loops.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Routing coolant lines in compact PC cases where straight fittings would interfere
• Connecting tubing around motherboards, radiators, and pump-reservoir assemblies
• Replacing worn or damaged angled fittings in custom water-cooling loops
• Building or modifying cooling loops that require a compact right-angle connection

Key specifications

• Angle: 90°
• Connecting thread: 1/4"
• Material and finish: metal, nickel and silver appearance
• Dimensions: 18 mm (width) × 32 mm (depth) × 18 mm (height)
• Intended use: liquid cooling systems for desktop computers

How to use

Install the fitting by screwing it into the matching 1/4" thread port until hand-tight, then secure with an appropriate wrench if required, avoiding excessive force to prevent damage to threads. Attach compatible tubing or hose to the opposite connection, ensuring a proper seal with the recommended clamps or O-rings used in the cooling loop. Verify correct orientation so the 90° angle routes the tubing as intended and confirm there are no kinks or undue tension in the tubing path.

Recommendations

Before powering the system, perform a thorough leak test with the loop filled and the pump running externally or with the power supply disconnected. Periodically inspect metal fittings for signs of corrosion or loosening and re-tighten or replace components as part of routine maintenance to preserve cooling performance and system reliability.
