Where it is used A quick-release connector can be used anywhere in a loop where expandability, flexibility or cleanliness play a big role. The compact connectors have the 1/4" thread on both sides, making them compatible with what Alphacool calls all standard components. How it opens and closes The connectors are separated by pulling down the outer rings. Both sides immediately shut completely, and no water can leak out. The special N.D.S.L. technology (no drip, no splash, no leak) ensures that nothing drips, splashes or leaks out while opening the connectors. When the pieces are reconnected, both sides audibly click together and are locked tightly with a double O-ring, which is simply pressed together when reconnecting. Pressing it this way also prevents any deterioration of the O-ring. Alphacool says the mechanism was also designed for longevity, to ensure secure connections even after several years. Flow rate Many quick connectors tend to compromise the flow rate, but Alphacool says it has found a way to solve this problem. In its words these can still sustain a high flow rate. Versions The kit is available in two models, deep black and a completely chromatized (chrome-plated) one. Alphacool says that in both versions they fit seamlessly into any system. It calls these quick couplings "Icicles", the next building block in its "Ice" series. What the loop needs Alphacool's scope of delivery is one kit, the male and the female half. Each half ends in a G1/4 inner thread, so it takes one fitting with a G1/4 outer thread, two for the kit. Notes Alphacool's notice: do not leave the quick connectors dry for prolonged periods. Used that way, this will put stress on the O-rings, and leak tightness can no longer be guaranteed. Alphacool's note on application: the kit should be run only with clear, transparent water cooling fluids. The particles and additives in pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses.
