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

The MCRES-525™ reservoir is designed to be installed in a 5 ¼” drive bay. It features three 3/8” threaded ports (standard NPT thread)
to accommodate a number of configurations (see * Swiftech fittings). The port usage is defined as follows:
(1) Discharge port located at the “stepped-down” compartment. This port must ALWAYS be connected to the
pump inlet for the MCRES-525™ to operate properly.
(2) Inlet ports can be used interchangeably: in “single inlet” configuration (the most common), or “dual inlet”
configuration when devices are returning to the reservoir in parallel. One port plug is provided to seal one of the
inlets in order to accommodate the most common “single inlet” configuration.
Installation of the fittings requires sealant. Recommended sealants include Teflon pipe dope or solvent cement
(Goop), which are the easiest to use; Teflon tape will require three to four turns for a good seal. Tighten fittings
until firm, do not make up to the nut interfering with the threaded hub - a thread should be visible on the fitting. Use
of silicone sealants is not recommended.
The following guide assumes that all liquid cooling components in your system, such as radiator, pump, and water-block(s) have been
already installed, and the graphic below shows an overview of a typical installation.
