1. Use DriSteem steam hose for best results. Other hose may have shorter
life and may cause foaming in the evaporating chamber resulting in
condensate discharge at the dispersion assembly. Do not use steam
hose for outdoor applications.
2. Maximum recommended length for steam hose is 10' (3 m). Longer
distances can cause kinking or low spots.

3. Insulate tubing to minimize loss of capacity and effi ciency.
4. Developed length of tubing equals measured length plus 50% of
measured length, to account for fi ttings.
Longer tubing lengths are possible at capacities lower than listed
maximums. Consult factory.
5. Requires fl ange connection.
Note: Capacities and lengths in this table are for steam from a nonpressurized steam humidifi er to a nonpressurized steam dispersion panel, and are
based on total maximum pressure drop in hose or tubing of 5" wc (1250 Pa).
