This product is intended for expert users. Please consult with a qualified technician for installation. Improper installation may result in damage

1. Before you install the MCW5000-P™ water-block:
a. Prepare two pieces of tubing of sufficient length to connect
to the rest of your circuit. The cuts must be square as shown in
figure 1 or leaks may occur:
Square cut
c. Spread a little bit of grease (Vaseline etc..)
around the tubing. It helps pushing the tubes in,
particularly with Clearflex tubing, which
features a very "sticky" surface.
Block orientation (rotating the stainless steel frame to change the inlet/outlet orientation):
The MCW5000™ can be installed in any direction that suits your needs.
Removing the 4 socket screws that attach the frame to the block will allow
you to rotate the frame 90°, so that inlet and outlet face up and down
instead of left and right. This doesn't affect the performance of the block,
nor the ability to bleed it appropriately.
