OR
15.5 A rigid drain pipe has to be installed under the unit and connected to the main house drain. We
recommend a 1” minimum I.D. tube or standard 1-1/2” I.D. ABS plumbing tube to do the installation.
Please also install a siphon (P-trap) with a drain cap, if required.
The two fl exible tubes (main drain and overfl ow) coming from the humidifi er and which will be inserted in the
rigid pipe, require a minimum free vertical length of 18” below the cabinet. It is very important to leave an air
gap between the rigid pipe and the tubes to allow the siphon to function properly. The fl exible tubes cannot
touch any water contained in the drain pipe. Please see Fig. 15b.
15.6 Since the unit is equipped with water level sensors, it is important to install it level from left to right and
from back to front.
15.7 Draw a level horizontal line on the wall and install two screws (# 8 minimum ) spaced at
11-5/8” from each other to hook the humidifi er on the wall, then install two screws at the bottom of the unit and
tighten them partially.
15.8 Level the unit and tighten the four screws fi rmly.

Warning: These two tubes cannot touch
water in the drain pipe. Keep a minimum
distance of 6” between the end of the
tubes and any water in the drain pipe at
all times. Immersing the tubes in water
will interfere with draining and affect the
operation of the unit.
