6 MCT Plumbing
6.1 Piping Inter-Connection
The piping system must be designed by a certified engineer and is to follow National, State, and
Local codes. The Chromasun MCT Design Manual should be referenced to assist with hydronic
design.
This section was written to be used with our recommended Chromasun header Piping Kit. If
this option was not purchased please consult an engineer for alternate solutions. A section is
included in the Chromasun Design Manual with additional suggested connection
methodologies.
Chromasun recommends use of the steel header pipes within the Piping Kit to interconnect
MCT units together. Given that these pipes define the pitch between MCT units, it is critical
that the panel-to-panel spacing is correct. Failure to space correctly will result in the need to
loosen the strut nuts and reposition the MCTs.
