16. Installing the Water Supply and drain pan connections
Important Notes :
 Close the main water supply valve before beginning.
 We recommend installing a quarter of a turn shut off valve (not supplied) near the unit. This supply valve (not
supplied) must be attached to a cold water pipe only, easily accessable from the Acu-Steam unit. Since the
unit is draining hot water, cold water is added to reduce the temperature before sending the water to the drain.
 In case of hard water or water containing particles, we recommend installing a strainer in the water line to
protect the solenoid valve. See section 1.1 for additional information and recommendations concerning water
quality.
16.1 The water intake fi tting on the top of the humidifi er must be wrapped with tefl on tape. Screw the water
hammer absorber (piece of red rubber hose with two brass fi ttings) onto the water intake on the top of the
humidifi er without stripping. Please see Fig. 16a. Use the double wrench method for tightening.
16.2 At the other end of the water hammer absorber, connect the water supply tube, using the same type of
fi tting used on the water supply valve. Tighten the compression nut, without stripping, with two wrenches, one
to hold the water hammer end, and one to turn the compression nut. Please see Fig. 16b.
NOTE : The brass sleeve supplied in kit #10S is to be used only if the plastic supply tube is replaced by a
copper tube. Either system works with this humidifi er, but only plastic tubing is supplied.
Keep the supply valve closed for now, you will open it during the start-up procedure.
