Alphacool Apex Grip Hose Fitting 13/10mm G1/4 Chrome, 6-Piece Set

The Alphacool Apex Grip hose fitting set provides a reliable solution for custom liquid cooling loops, specifically designed for 13/10mm tubing. This 6-piece set features high-quality construction with a durable chrome finish, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and long-term performance in your PC cooling system. Each fitting is equipped with a standard G1/4 inch thread, making it compatible with a wide range of water blocks, radiators, and pumps commonly used in enthusiast-grade builds.

Advantages

These fittings are engineered for maximum security and ease of use, providing a tight grip on the tubing to prevent leaks and ensure system integrity. The robust chrome plating offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, maintaining a professional appearance over time. By utilizing a high-flow design, these connectors minimize flow resistance, which helps in maintaining optimal cooling efficiency throughout the entire water loop.

Suitable for

• Custom PC water cooling loops
• Systems using 13/10mm soft tubing
• Connecting radiators, water blocks, and reservoirs
• Enthusiast-level PC builds requiring reliable connections

When it may not be suitable

This fitting set is not compatible with hard tubing or soft tubing with dimensions other than 13/10mm. It is also not intended for use in non-PC liquid cooling applications or industrial systems that require specific pressure ratings beyond standard computer cooling requirements.

Key specifications

• Thread size: G1/4 inch
• Compatible tubing size: 13/10mm
• Material: Chrome-plated brass
• Quantity: 6 pieces per set

How to use

To install the fittings, first ensure your tubing is cut cleanly and squarely. Slide the compression ring onto the tubing, then push the tubing over the barb of the fitting. Once the tubing is fully seated, screw the compression ring onto the fitting base by hand until it is secure. Do not overtighten with tools, as hand-tightening is sufficient to create a leak-proof seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your tubing has an outer diameter of 13mm and an inner diameter of 10mm.
• Ensure your components have G1/4 inch threaded ports.
• Check the number of fittings required for your specific loop layout to see if a 6-piece set is sufficient.

Usage recommendations: Always perform a leak test on your cooling loop for several hours before powering on your PC components. Ensure that the tubing is not under excessive tension or sharp bends to prevent potential kinks or connection stress.
