IS COMPLETE. LEAVE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WITH HOME OWNER

PRECAUTION: The installer should be an experienced service technician. Disconnect electrical power before beginning installation. Do not install where

temperatures fall below 32 degrees F or where plenum temperatures exceed 200 degrees F. When wiring into a multi-speed blower circuit see Step 7D.

INSTALLATION: The humidifier may be mounted with the 6" outlet to the right or left by reversing the position of the Bypass Cover. The humidifier may

be mounted on the warm or return air plenum with equal efficiency. See Typical Installations below.

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS THAT MAY BE NESSESARY:

1.1/4" diameter copper or plastic water

supply tubing (G.F. #747-38 suggested)

2. 5/8" diameter drain tubing (G.F. #1099-16 suggested)

3. 3/4" O.D. drain tube clamp (G.F. #P-163 suggested)

4. 6" diameter galvanized by-pass pipe

5. 6" diameter galvanized elbow

6. 6" diameter galvanized damper

7. 6" diameter collar

8. wire, two-conductor #18 or heavier

(G.F. #727-48 suggested)

9. transformer 120V, 60HZ primary 24V,

1OVA or greater secondary (G.F. #727-58 suggested)

Cut 6" hole and install connecting collar, 6" elbow and by-pass pipe

(not supplied). USE UNCRIMPED END IN HUMIDIFIER CABINET.

Connect by-pass pipe to collar and humidifier cabinet. Using holes

at top and bottom of humidifier bypass opening drill 2---1/8" holes

through bypass pipe and screw by-pass pipe to humidifier cabinet.

Install bypass cover by placing the tab of the bypass cover marked

"TOP" behind the top flange of the humidifier cabinet, push up on the

bottom clip until it clears the opening of the humidifier cabinet then

push in on the bottom of the bypass cover.

NOTE: If furnace is used for summer cooling, install inline

damper in by-pass pipe.

Mount the self tapping saddle valve on either a cold or a hot water pipe. A

side or top mount is best to avoid clogging from pipe sediment. Connect 1/4"

O.D. tubing to the saddle valve. Copper tubing requires a 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

CONTACT WITH ANY HOT PLENUM SURFACE OR DUCT.

INSTALLATION OF THIS SADDLE VALVE MUST MEET OR

EXCEED LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES.

MOUNTING ON THE RETURN AIR DUCT Do not install the humidistat on the warm air duct. WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Locate the humidistat at least 24" upstream of the humidifier or bypass on the return air duct. Avoid areas of direct radiation like secondary heat exchangers in the fan compartment• 2. Place template using level. Cut sensor hole as shown on template. Drill four 3/32" holes as shown. 3. Remove the housing from the base by prying with a small screwdriver at the notch in the side of the housing.
