Steam Hoses
NINETY PERCENT (90%) OF ALL OPERATION PROBLEMS ARE CREATED BY IMPROPER STEAM PIPING FROM THE HUMIDIFIER UNIT TO THE DUCT
DISTRIBUTOR PIPES. To avoid these problems, remember one simple fact when running the steam hose: steam naturally flows up hill, and condensate naturally
flows down hill. Run the steam hose or piping to avoid any kinks, sharp elbows, or low spots that could collect or restrict the flow of steam to the distributor pipe, or
the flow of condensate back to the humidifier. Support the hose adequately to avoid sags.
The following diagrams are to provide you with some guidelines. If you have a situation you are unsure of, please contact the factory for instructions.

IMPORTANT: Maximum length of rubber steam hose is 10 feet. Insulated copper tubing may be up to 20 feet. In all cases, minimize sharp bends and elbows – use
2-45° elbows instead of 90°s.
Hose size = 7/8” (22 mm).
Hose size = 1-1/4” (30 mm).
