Selecting a location
HUMIDIFIER
When selecting a location for the humidifi er, consider the following:
• Proximity to the duct
Install the humidifi er near the air duct system where the dispersion assembly
will be located. The maximum recommended length for steam hose
connecting a single humidifi er to a dispersion assembly is 10' (3 m). The
maximum recommended developed length for tubing connecting a single
humidifi er to a dispersion assembly is 20' (6 m).
For more information about installing dispersion assemblies, see
"Dispersion," beginning on Page 18.
• Elevation of the installed dispersion assembly
The recommended installation location for the dispersion assembly is at an
elevation higher than the humidifi er. However, if the dispersion assembly
must be installed at an elevation lower than the humidifi er, install a drip tee
and drain. See "Drip tee installation" on Page 21.
Before installing a dispersion assembly or interconnecting piping, review all
pitch requirements in the "Dispersion" section of this manual.
• Required clearances (see Figure 9-1)
• Electrical connections
Electrical power supply connections are at the lower or upper right rear
corner of the unit. See "Wiring" on Pages 14 and 15.
• Supply water and drain piping connections
Water supply piping and drain connections are at the lower left rear corner
of the unit. See the piping illustrations and instructions starting on Page 10.
• Exterior wall insulation
Install the humidifi er on an exterior wall only if the wall is properly
insulated.
DISPERSION CONTROL DEVICES
See Figure 17-1 for recommended installation locations for the dispersion
assembly and associated control devices.
