GeneralAire DS20 Elite Steam - Manual (Page 8)

If necessary, support the steam hose using braces or other
supports. DO NOT try to pipe the steam to two different
ducts or air handlers.
The condensate hose should be trapped as shown in the two
drawings above. This is to prevent steam from flowing
through it. The condensate is wasted, either to the nipple on
top of the humidifier, or to a separate drain. DO NOT put
condensate into the humidifier fill cup.
Hose clamps are provided for the 7/8” I.D. steam hose as
well as for the 5/16” condensate hose. DO NOT reduce the
size of the steam hose, use valves or otherwise restrict
the free steam flow.
WARNING: the length of the steam hose should be less than 12 feet.
