￿Vent pipe must be secured with hangers or pipe straps

￿All horizontal runs must be adequately supported with hangers or straps to prevent sagging.

Installation as a Category I Appliance

￿The GS series humidifiers have a fan-assisted combustion which operates with a non-positive vent static pressure when installed with the appropriate vent diameter.

￿Category I appliances must be vented vertically or nearly vertical. (See Figure #7 & #9)

￿This category appliance is restricted to vertical venting installations with limits placed on horizontal lengths and vent diameters. Refer to the tables in local and/or national codes. No sidewall termination is accepted.

￿Vent piping must be UL or UL/CSA listed type B or B-W.

Recommended B-Venting Manufacturers

1.Simpson Dura-Vent

2.Selkirk Canada Corporation

3.American Metal Products

4.Metal-Fab Inc.

￿The vent pipe exiting the humidifier is sized for Category III installations. A field supplied adapter is required to increase the pipe immediately at the exit of the humidifier. The vent pipe must be expanded to the minimum sizes listed below for each model, increasing as code requires.

GS 100

4” minimum diameter

GS 200

5”

GS 300/400

7”

GS 500/600

8”

￿The termination at the humidifier is a MALE connection. Standard venting hook-ups require a female path. It is highly recommended that a female to female adapter be assembled onto the humidifier to establish the proper venting sequence. Consult with the venting manufacturer for proper hook up.

￿Vent connectors shall not be connected into any portion of a mechanical draft system operating under positive pressure.

￿Use only double wall (aluminum inner wall) B vent. Single wall venting can not be used due to the increased wet time in the lining. If the vent connector attaches to a lined masonry chimney, the chimney must be sized and installed according to the provisions of the National Fuel Gas Code or Canadian CAN/CGA.B149 standards.

￿An approved venting manufacturers termination cap for the stack outlet must be used.

￿The maximum flue temperature is 400 degrees F. Normal operating range is 360 to 380 degrees F.

￿When the category I installation is selected it may be commonly vented with other listed gas fire appliances. Total input rates of all appliances will determine the vent size the chimney must be sized and installed according to the provisions of the National Fuel Gas Code or Canadian CAN/CGA.B149 standards.

￿A maximum of 4 gas appliances may be common vented on the same floor. Multiple story common venting is not recommended.

￿Refer to the vent manufacturers instructions for proper clearances to combustibles.
