Safety information
The HP mc-Series 5042 Rack is tested to the maximum pressure (PS) of 8 bar (116 PSI) without fluid trapped
inside by closed, external valves.
If valves are installed on the external pipe work that could potentially trap fluid inside the MCS 5042 unit,
special precautions must be taken. To prevent severe plumbing failure due to extreme pressure, use an
expansion tank with a preinstalled safety valve in the plumbing circuit connected to the unit.
