Select location on vertical surface of warm air plenum for mounting
humidifier. Tape mounting template in place making sure the template is
level. Do not install humidifier where the blanked off ends of a cooling coil
will restrict air flow to the humidifier. Cut out center section of template.

brass compression nut and brass sleeve. Plastic tubing requires a brass
insert inside the tubing, a plastic sleeve on the outside with a brass
compression nut.
NOTE: DO NOT USE PLASTIC TUBING ON HOT WATER OR IN
