•
The humidifier must be located where the ambient temperature is
above 32
°
F (0
°
C) and below 160
°
F (71
°
C).
•
Be sure supply plenum static pressure is no greater than 0.3 in.
w.c. and water pressure is no greater than 125 psi.
IMPORTANT
To assure optimal product performance, be sure the template is
level before marking.
1. Determine the best location for the humidifier and draw a level line on
the plenum. See Fig. 1.
IMPORTANT

to allow adequate space for the solenoid valve and drain line. Check
that there is adequate space above the humidifier to remove and
install the humidifier cover. Do not install on a furnace jacket.

NOTE:
Be sure to install a duct damper for summer shutoff on
systems with air conditioning.
9. Install a 6 in. (152 mm) diameter duct from the collar to the humidifier.
NOTE:
Some installations require a 90
°
elbow attachment to the
collar.

NOTE:
To avoid sagging and stress on the humidifier, add support
when ducting is longer than 4 ft (120 cm).
