i 6 It is best to install an overflow line. Local codes may require overflow protection. The overflow is in the bottom of the reservoir (Fig. 15). Use 1/2" inside diameter plastic or rub- ber tubing to connect and route to nearby floor drain. (Tubing not furnished. Available at your local hardware store.)

NOTE: HUMIDIFIER MUST BE LEVEL FOR DRAIN TO I

Position collar at selected location. Mark center

opening and (5) holes. Cut out center opening and drill (5) 1/8" holes.

4Attach collar and flexible hose to plenum. If addi- tional flexible hose is required an eight foot length is available through the parts department, order 281152-05. Before tight- ening screws, insert damper between collar and plenum (Fig. 13). it should be open for humidifier operation.

WATER SUPPLY

J1 Water for the humidifier must be taken from a nearby

cold water line. Turn off the water supply. Drain by opening a faucet at a lower level of the line.

i J2 Position the saddle valve on the water line as close

to the humidifier as possible. You have been supplied with 10 feet of 1/4" plastic tubing.

SPECIAL NOTE: When measuring the distance from the saddle valve location to the humidifier, keep in mind that the tubing must be supported; therefore, it must run along

ceiling and walls. Measure along the path the tubing will follow.

;_1 Connect the flexible hose as shown using clamp pro- vided. Do not allow flexible tube to come within 3" of furnace flue pipe because of flue pipes extreme heat. If hose is under stress (pulling), it may be necessary to drill 2 holes in humidi- fier collar for screws. This will prevent clamp from slipping off (Fig. 14).

3Back out the piercing pin by turning the "T" handle counter clockwise and then clamp the saddle valve body se- curely on the water line with rubber gasket positioned as shown (Fig. 16). On galvanized or copper pipe over 5/8", first drill a 5/32" hole.

CAUTION: For safety, use a hand drill or grounded electric drill.
