16 mm Hard-Tube 90° Elbow

This chrome compression fitting joins 16 mm acrylic, brass, borosilicate or carbon tubes at a right angle. It suits custom-loop builders who need a secure, leak-tested connection in tight routing spaces. The knurled collars allow tool-free tightening during assembly. Part number 17297 identifies the exact component for repeat orders.

Sustained-loop reliability

The new application process prevents the chrome finish from fading or peeling after months of continuous coolant flow and thermal cycling. Alphacool branding on the body and collars remains legible, preserving a professional aesthetic throughout the loop's service life. No degradation of the sealing surfaces is introduced by the coating method.

16 mm tube compatibility only

This fitting accepts 16 mm outer-diameter hard tubes and cannot be used with smaller or larger diameters or with soft tubing. Builders planning mixed-size runs must source matching fittings for each tube size separately.

Questions about this item

Does the 90° elbow fitting add noticeable flow resistance or heat in a loop running continuously?

The fitting is a passive component with no moving parts and does not generate heat; any flow restriction from the 90° bend is minimal in a properly designed custom loop.

What tube size and material must I already have for this 16 mm compression fitting to work?

You need 16 mm outer-diameter hard tubing made of acrylic, brass, borosilicate glass or carbon; the knurled compression collars seal directly on that tube size.

Will the chrome finish on this 17297 fitting match older Alphacool fittings already in my build?

Alphacool uses a consistent chrome application process across the HT series so the finish should coordinate with existing Alphacool chrome components.
