This product is intended for expert users. Please consult with a qualified technician for installation. Improper installation may result in damage
to your components. Swiftech assumes no liability whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of these products, nor their installation. The
following instructions are subject to change without notice. Please visit our web site at

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: b. Install the provided plastic tube inserts at each end of the tubes,
as shown in figure 2: these inserts are absolutely imperative when
using any kind of soft tubing, such as vynil, ClearFlex, Taigon, etc...

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.
d. Fully insert both tubes into the fittings. The tip of the plastic tube inserts should
be flush with the inlet and outlet openings, as shown in figure 4 above. Inserting the
tubes requires a firm push, accompanied by a twisting motion.
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.
