Alphacool Eiszapfen Quick Release Coupling

This Alphacool Eiszapfen quick release coupling is a male G1/4 inner thread fitting finished in chrome. It uses NDSL technology to prevent dripping, splashing or leakage when disconnected while the loop is running. The part is designed for custom water-cooling builds that need a high-flow, tool-free disconnect point. Supplied as a single half, it requires the matching counterpart to complete a quick-release connection.

Builders who need tool-free loop separation

This coupling suits builders who want to drain or reconfigure a loop without draining the entire system first. It is not for users who expect a complete quick-release set in one package, because only the male half is included. Buyers who need a bulkhead or external-thread variant should select the appropriate counterpart instead. The chrome finish matches other Eiszapfen components for a consistent look.

Male G1/4 inner thread specification

The defining specification is the male G1/4 inner thread interface, which determines compatibility with the female quick-release half and any G1/4 port in the loop. Without the matching female counterpart the coupling cannot function as a quick release. Verify that your existing fittings or components use the same G1/4 thread standard before purchasing. The part number is 1017117.

Questions about this item

What pressure or flow limit appears first when this G1/4 quick-release coupling runs continuously?

The coupling uses Alphacool NDSL technology for no-drip, no-splash, no-leak operation, so the practical limit is the tubing and pump rating rather than the fitting itself.

How much noise, heat or extra power does this chrome coupling add when the loop runs all day?

The fitting is a passive chrome-plated brass component with no moving parts, so it adds no noise, negligible heat and zero power draw to the loop.

Which matching half must I already own to complete a working quick-release connection with this male G1/4 inner-thread coupling?

You need the corresponding female Eiszapfen quick-release plug with a compatible G1/4 or bulkhead interface; the two halves lock by pulling the connecting ring.
