Install the baffle in the inside of the ductwork, as shown in Figure 15,
below. Reaching through the hole previously cut in the bottom of the
duct, mark two holes on the top inside of the duct by holding the baffle
in place about 6" (15.24 cm) from the side of the opening, then drill two
holes 7/64" (0.28 cm) in diameter through the top inside of the duct
and attach with two #8 sheet metal screws.

FIGURE 15: Installation of Baffle in Duct
Follow these steps to properly plumb the
Model 86
humidifier:
A. At the cold water pipe you located earlier, install the saddle
connector and needle valve by following the instructions included
in the valve package. (This is a self-piercing unit when installed
on copper pipe.) To reduce the chance of minerals and other
contaminants from obstructing water flow, mount the valve so that
water will come from the top or side of the pipe.
WARNING:
Use extreme caution to avoid selecting
an air conditioning line.
NOTE:
Either hard or soft water may be used. Soft
water will require more maintenance (see page 17),
but cleaning will be easier.
B. Follow these important plumbing tips:
1) Lightly clean the tubing ends with fine sandpaper before
making any connections.
2) Fully insert the tubing into the valve fittings and tighten the
compression nut. Do not over-tighten. Moderate tightness
should prevent leaking. (Use the brass fittings provided.)
