Alphacool Apex Grip HardTube fitting 16mm G1/4 chroom (14886)

Secure, high-flow connections for 16mm hard tubing define this Alphacool Apex Grip fitting. The chrome-plated brass body and EPDM O-rings create a reliable seal on standard G1/4" ports, while the compression collar locks PETG, acrylic, glass, or metal tubes in place without deformation. Ideal for custom loops where a clean, straight connection matters.

Highlights

• Secure Grip Technology prevents tube slip under pressure
• High-flow design minimizes restriction
• Chrome finish resists corrosion and matches polished builds
• Compatible with 16mm OD hard tubes (PETG, acrylic, borosilicate glass, metal)
• Standard G1/4" thread fits most water cooling components

In daily use

Installation is straightforward: screw the fitting into the component, insert the tube fully, and tighten the compression ring by hand. The EPDM O-rings maintain a watertight seal over time, and the brass construction withstands typical loop pressures. For maintenance, the fitting can be removed and reused without damaging the tube.
