Option B: External Side Mount
Figure 2 - External Side Mount
Option B requires a transition to be made and usually needs duct reinforcement to hold the humidifier securely in place (see Figure 2).
NOTE: For this configuration, the humidifier is mounted on the outside of the plenum, rather than the inside, so as not to restrict airflow.
DANGER: Wear safety glasses when cutting or drilling. Do not cut into any air conditioning or electrical accessories during installation.
Electrocution is possible if you come in contact with a live electrical wire; blindness can occur if Freon contacts your eyes.
To install:
1.Construct a transition and attach it to the plenum.
2.Attach the humidifier mounting template to the location selected at the base of the transition.
3.Drill two (2) holes marked “B” with a 7/64" drill bit. Drill a hole in the center of the shaded area of the template and remove the shaded area using snips.
CAUTION: Follow the dotted line carefully.
4.Remove the template.
