Outdoor enclosure: Piping
INSTALLATION
See Piping beginning on Page 19 for directions on
installing water and drain on the RTS humdifier RX series.
For Outdoor Enclosure specific items, see below.
SUPPLY WATER AND DRAIN
• Using the pipe chase
Use insulation to completely fill the area around
the pipes in the chase to maintain proper enclosure
pressure and protect unit components from elevated
moisture levels within the building; insulation must
serve as an effective vapor barrier.
Use the provided pipe chase cover to seal off the pipe
chase. Cut necessary holes, and seal after installation.
• Using the designated knockouts that best fit the specific
installation
Heat trace and insulate piping if freezing temperatures
are a concern.
• Insulate supply water piping
inside the unit to avoid
dripping from condensation.
• For
cold climates
, see Freeze Protection Piping on Page
