1. Before you install the MCW5000-PT™ water-block:
Prepare two pieces of tubing of sufficient length to connect to
the rest of your circuit. It is preferable to insert the tubing into the
block BEFORE it gets installed onto the CPU, to prevent placing
undue pressure onto the assembly when it is installed on the
CPU.
The cuts to the tubing must be square as shown in figure 1 or
leaks may occur. Use a good pair of scissors to cut the tubing. It
is easier than with a razor blade.

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 into the fittings.
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.
