C. Hydraulic Installation
The MCW5002-T is shipped with ½” barb to 3/8” NPT nylon fittings. These fittings should be installed using
Teflon tape or plumbers “goop”. If fittings need to be replaced for a difference tubing size, do not use brass fittings,
because of the galvanic corrosion that will take place between copper or brass and the MCW5002-T aluminum
housing. Always use nylon fittings.
Inlet and outlet are interchangeable.
Type of Coolant:
For best performance, use 5 to 10% of Swiftech brand “HydrX” corrosion inhibitor mixed with distilled
water only .
Regular automotive anti-freeze is also acceptable. Automotive manufacturers recommend that not less than
25% is used.
NEVER use tap water, even for a short-term test.
Not following the above instructions constitutes misuse (*) of the product, and will void your warranty.
