IO-HE12-A
This humidifier is capable of delivering up to 12 GPD of humidity, according to the industry-standard performance test, AHRI 610,
which specifies an air flow of approximately 200 CFM and plenum temperature of 120° F / 49° C. If the furnace or air handler
operates at lower temperatures or air flow, the amount of humidity delivered will be less than 12 GPD. If an HRV is installed in the
system, some of the humidity in the house will be transferred outside by the HRV; if this is the case, the humidifier should be sized
to accommodate for this humidity loss.

The Clean Comfort Model HE12 may be installed on
either the supply or return plenum of a forced air handling
system. Select a location for the humidifier that allows for
service and maintenance. Using the installation template
supplied with this humidifier, cut out a rectangle 8-7/8˝
wide by 9-1/2˝ tall. Extend horizontal centerline of cut out
to the adjacent plenum. Cut a 6˝ hole 10˝ to 15˝ from side
of humidifier, on cabinet centerline, using connecting
collar as guide. The bypass is reversible and can be
mounted on the right or left side of the humidifier.
Open cover and remove evaporator pad assembly. Humidi-
fier is self retaining. Slide top side in first, then slide chassis
down. Level chassis and install center screws. If by-pass pipe
installs to opposite side of chassis, bend clip on chassis,
remove side discharge, and reinstall discharge to opposite
side of chassis. Install remaining four corner screws.

Saddle Valve Installation Option: Mount the self tapping
saddle valve (4a) or code valve (4b next page) on either a
cold or hot water* pipe. A side or top mount is best to avoid
clogging from pipe sediment. Connect 1/4˝ O.D. tubing to
the saddle valve. Copper tubing requires a brass compression
nut and brass sleeve. Plastic tubing requires a brass compres-
sion nut, a brass insert inside the tubing and a plastic sleeve
on the outside.
NOTE: DO NOT USE PLASTIC TUBING ON HOT WATER OR IN CON-
TACT WITH ANY HOT PLENUM SURFACE OR DUCT. INSTALLATION
OF THIS SADDLE VALVE MUST MEET OR EXCEED LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCES. USING HOT WATER WILL INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF
HUMIDITY DELIVERED TO THE HOME, AND WILL ALSO INCREASE
THE DEMAND ON THE HOME’S DOMESTIC HOT WATER SYSTEM.
