STEAM INJECTION INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Configurations
Opposite connection
Elbow and union
assembly
Union ring

It may be necessary to change the steam
discharge direction at the job site. To do so,
follow these directions:
1. Non-threaded union ring.
2. Remove elbow and nipple assembly from
dispersion tube and reinstall on opposite
connection.
3. Rotate dispersion tube 180° with respect to
separator.
4. Reconnect union halves and tighten union
ring.
5. Humidifier now will discharge to opposite
side.

Horizontal tube/horizontal airflow
Typical configuration. Single-tube
humidifiers are shipped this way unless
ordered otherwise. See Page 24 for more
information about this configuration. This is
a right-hand configuration; to change to a
left hand configuration, see Figure 20-1.
Vertical tube/horizontal airflow
Use this configuration when there is
no access to side of duct or when duct
is tall and narrow, to improve steam
absorption. See Page 27 for more
information about this configuration.
Horizontal tube/vertical airflow
Use this configuration in vertical airflow
ducts. See Page 26 for more information
about this configuration.
Horizontal separator/horizontal
airflow
Use this configuration when space is
tight, such as when installing above
ceilings. This application requires a
separator designed for horizontal
installation. See Page 25 for more
information about this configuration.
Horizontal separator/vertical airflow
Use this configuration in vertical airflow
ducts and when space is tight, such
as when installing above ceilings.
This application requires a separator
designed for horizontal installation.
