VAPORSTREAM INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
For overhead installations, install a drip pan to prevent possible water damage
(see fi gure below).
Secure trapeze hanger to an overhead structure that is strong enough to
support the operating weight of the Vaporstream humidifi er and fi eld installed
piping, plus the weight of the control cabinet if it is mounted on the humidifi er.
Adjust the mounting so that the tank sets level side to side and front to back.
Verify level after the tank is fi lled and is at operating weight.

Overhead installation
Do not install water piping and humidifi ers
above expensive apparatus or equipment.
A broken water pipe, leak ing valve gland,
condensation or other water leaks can occur
causing serious dam age and costly re pairs to
the equip ment below.
If this type of installation cannot be avoided,
install a drip pan constructed of galvanized
sheet metal under the hu mid i fi er to catch
potential water drips (see Figure 11-1).
Pipe the overfl ow from the Vaporstream
directly to a fl oor drain — do not drain the
Vaporstream into the drip pan. Terminate the
drip pan and the Vaporstream overfl ow drains
above an open fl oor drain.
