1.HUMIDIFIER INSTALLATION

A.LOCATION

(1)The NORTEC NHTC series humidifier is designed to mount on a suitable wall or vertical surface. Do not sit the unit on the floor due to clearances required for plumbing and electrical connections. The clearance dimensions shown in this manual are for reference only and are the minimum required for maintenance on the humidifier. Local and national codes should be consulted before final location and installation of the humidifier. NORTEC cannot accept responsibility for installation code violations. See Figure 1 Clearances and Operating Conditions.

(2)The location of the humidifier should be below the steam distributor. DO NOT locate the humidifier any further then absolutely necessary from the steam distributor location as net output will be reduced as a result of heat loss through the steam line.

(3)When possible, mount the NHTC humidifier at a height convenient for servicing.

B.MOUNTING WITH KEYHOLES

(1)The NHTC series humidifier is wall mounted using keyholes located on the back of the unit’s cabinetry. The keyholes are spaced 16 inches apart center to center for large units and 10.7 inches apart for small as per UL certification standard stud spacing dictates.

(2)Use #12 x 3 in. screws. 2 screws are needed for a single unit (NHTC 010 to 100 lbs/hour). 3 screws are needed for a double unit (NHTC 150 to 200 lbs/hour). Insert the screw 16 in. apart. Be sure the screws are level to each other. Proceed to insert the screws into the studs until there is 1/4 in. of screw exposed. Ensure the screws are properly anchored to the wall.

(3)Raise the unit. Align the keyholes on the back of the unit with the screws. Place the screws through the keyholes. Make sure the unit is level then tighten the screws to secure the unit in place.

(4)Once the unit is securely fixed to the wall, install the “L” shaped brackets into the same studs the unit is attached to. Place the brackets on top of the unit, inline with the studs. Using the appropriate sized wood screw fasten the “L” brackets to the studs securing the unit from any upward motion. See Figure 2 Mounting with keyhole.

C.MOUNTING WITH WALL BRACKET

(1)For NHTC units that mount using a Wall mounting bracket 3 x #12 3.0 inch wood screws are to be used.

(2)Wall mounting bracket provided should be securely attached horizontally with open edge upwards, using field-supplied fasteners. Be sure the bracket is mounted level See Figure 3.

(3)If humidifiers are mounted on a roof, a thermostatically ventilated weather proof cabinet should be used. Consult factory.
