Injection Tube and Flexible Hose Installation

 

Installation

 

 

Injection  tube  shall  be  installed  in  the  center 
of  the  duct.    Hose  and  injection  tube  should 
be  pitched  back  to  the  humidifier  two  inches 
(5 cm) per foot (31 cm). If proper pitch cannot 
be  maintained,  or  the  injection  tube  is 
mounted  lower  than  the  humidifier,  a  drain 
"tee"  will  be  required  (reference  drain  "tee" 
illustration).

 

 

Install  the  tube  with  the  steam  ports  injecting 
steam  up.    NOTE:  If  narrow  ducts  (6”/15  cm 
or less, in height) are utilized, install the tube 
with the steam ports injecting slightly with the 
airflow (2 o’clock position).

 

 

The  hose  connects  to  the  injection  tube  and 
humidifier  with  stainless  steel  hose  clamps 
(by PURE Humidifier Co.).

 

 

Galvanized  steel  duct  plates  are  provided  to 
seal  the  opening  where  the  tube  enters  the 
duct.
