
These installation guidelines apply for duct velocities under 2000 ft/min (610 m/min), please
consult factory for higher velocities.

Please make sure no obstacles (elbow, filter, or diffuser) are located after the distributor in the
direction of the airflow closer than the absorption distance calculated for your application.

Unless you know the exact absorption distance required for the steam absorption into the air
steam, the distributor should be located at least 8-10 ft (2-3 m) away from any obstacle it may
condense on (elbow, diffuser, filter, etc.).
