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 might trap fluid inside the MCS 5042 rack, you must take
special precautions. 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.
