2: Mounting The Humidifier
Positioning
The humidifier unit should be mounted as close as
possible to the steam distributor nozzle or blower unit to
minimize steam hose length and condensate losses.
The unit has been designed for wall-mounting, and the
wall must be able to support the weight of the unit in
normal operating conditions (See bottom of page).
The metal cabinet of the humidifier heats up during
operation, and the rear part in contact with the wall may
reach temperatures of over 140°F. Make sure the
humidifier is mounted level and plumb, and that the
minimum clearances, as shown at right, are maintained
to allow room for maintenance operations and ventilation.
Mounting
The humidifier must be wall-mounted using three screws: two upper
screws, for fastening the support bracket, and one lower, central
screw, to fasten the unit into place. To the right is the template for the
mounting holes.
Fasten the bracket supplied with the humidifier to the wall (see
below); making sure that it is level. If the unit is to be mounted to a
block wall, use the plastic screw anchors (5/16”) and screws (3/16” x
2”) supplied.
Hang the humidifier on the bracket using the mating bracket located
on the top edge of the back of the humidifier. Fasten the humidifier
to the wall using the central hole in the rear part of the base; this can
be easily reached from underneath the unit.
