 Never install the humidifi er directly on the furnace body as this could void your furnace warranty.
16. Installing the Water Supply
Important Notes :
 Turn off the main water supply before beginning.
 The supply valve (not supplied) must be attached to a cold water pipe only, close to the humidifi er. Since the
unit is draining hot water, cold water is added to reduce the temperature before sending the water to the drain.
 We recommend installing a quarter of a turn shut off valve (not supplied) near the unit.
 In case of well water or other water containing particles, we also recommend installing a little strainer in the
water line to protect the solenoid valve.
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. Also use the same 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.
