An HP Water Hook Up Kit must be installed prior to activating an MCS 5042. The length is approximately 350 cm (138 inches) of flexible hose terminated with fittings at each end. The length that is available outside the MCS 5042 depends on the type of connection that is desired as shown in Figure 22.

Figure 23 shows the location of the condensate (blue) and overflow (red) in the rear of the cooling unit. The MCS 5042 includes both tubes for the hook up. Each tube is approximately 3 m (9 feet) in length. The overflow hose has an inner diameter of 9 mm (0.35 in) and the condensation hose has an outer diameter of 8 mm (0.31 in). The preferred method of routing for all hoses is downward at an angle of at least 3º (pitch of 0.6 inches per 12 inches), without loops, and away from the MCS 5042 cabinet. Pumped condensation and

Note:
Flexible attachment hoses are intended to allow for deflection in any direction for equipment mounted on dynamic platforms, or for slight relocation of cabinets.
