HE120, HE160 HUMIDIFIER INSTALLATION KIT

CAUTION
Chemical Hazard.
Can cause personal injury or equipment
damage.
Do not use any line connected to an air
conditioner.
Do not use gas line.
3. Use the self-piercing saddle valve (included) to tap
into the water supply line at the location selected.
See Fig. 6. If tapping into galvanized pipe, drain
line and pre-drill 3/16 in. tap for saddle valve.
NOTE: The saddle valve is not designed to regulate
water flow. The valve is either open or closed.
IMPORTANT
To prevent debris from clogging the solenoid in-
line filter, be sure to install the saddle valve han-
dle pointing toward the ceiling.

4. Use 1/4 in. (6 mm) OD tubing and connect saddle
valve to float valve (see Fig. 7).
NOTE: For HE120, use plastic compression nut for float
connection.
a. Place compression nut over tubing.
NOTE: For HE160, use brass expander insert for float
connection.
b. Install brass insert into end of tubing.
NOTE: A compression ring is required only at the tub
end connected to the saddle valve.
c. Slide the plastic compression ring over the
tubing. (Discard copper compression ring pro-
vided with valve.)
NOTE: To prevent leaking, use plastic (Delrin) sleeve
rings with plastic tubing. Use copper sleeve
rings only with copper tubing.
d. Insert the tubing into the float valve fitting and
support the valve while tightening the compres-
sion nut.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the compression nut. Mod-
erate tightness prevents leaking.
e. Repeat steps a. through d. for saddle valve fit-
ting.
f. Secure tubing with clamps provided.

5. Connect a 3/8 in. (10 mm) overflow tube to the
humidifier overflow fitting and run to the floor drain
or bucket if floor drain is not available.
a. Insert overflow fitting. (HE160 fitting is provided
in the kit. HE120 fitting is provided with humidi-
fier; position it in hole opposite of float.)
NOTE: Be sure to install water pan with overflow posi-
tioned over fitting.
b. Slide the overflow clamp over the tubing.
c. Push the tubing over the overflow fitting on the
humidifier.
d. Hand-tighten the clamp around the tubing to
secure the overflow tubing.
e. Fasten the overflow tubing (can use duct tape)
along the route to prevent movement and
ensure downward slope for correct drainage.
NOTE: Cut tubing to correct length so the tubing termi-
nates at the drain or bucket.
Adjusting HE160 Water Level (Fig. 8)
1. Test fit the disk assembly in the humidifier.
2. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
3. Adjust the float assembly so the water height just
covers the disks; verify that the water is within the
range of the textured bands inside the basin.
4. Adjust the float, as necessary.
5. Secure the float adjustment nut with a 9/16 in.
(15 mm) wrench.
6. Remove the disk and drain the water before begin-
ning the bypass installation.
