c.Use the template provided to cut installation holes in the duct for the dispersion tube as in Figure 7-2 (and optional drain tube, Figure 7-3).

d.Insert the dispersion tube into the duct so the holes face upward. Fasten the mounting plate to the outside of the duct with sheet metal screws. If the dispersion tube is 36" long or more, support the far end with threaded rod or similar means.

A 1½" to 1¼" reducer will be required

 

 

to connect the dispersion tube to the steam pipe of Models EHU-703/704 (Figure 8-5).

The steam pipe must be free of kinks and sags to allow for gravity drainage of condensate. (Provide pitch of 1" per foot towards the unit.) Pipe supports may be required to accomplish this. Insulate the copper tube to minimize condensation.

Figure 8-4

The preferred installation of the dispersion tube is above the humidifier with a maximum piping run of 20 feet or less (Figure 8-3).

Figure 8-4 shows the correct installation when:

1)You cannot achieve a 1" per foot reverse slope of the piping.

2)Piping runs range from 20 to the maximum of 40 feet of equivalent run.

3)Elbows or vertical risers must be placed in the piping.

4)The steam dispersion tube MUST BE below the humidifier. For this installation use a 1¼" copper tee for the drain connection of an EHU-701 or a 1½" copper tee for EHU-703 or 704 (Figure 8-5).
