evaporating chamber is level in both directions.
______
2.
INJECTION TUBE
-
Verify that the humidifier injection tube is mounted within the duct with the proper
pitch back to the humidifier (2”/5 cm per foot / 31 cm). NOTE: If the humidifier evaporating chamber or
the flexible hose (optional) is mounted higher than the injection tube, a drain “tee” is required to drain
the condensate out of the injection tube steam line. If it is an Insty
