Trane EHUMD800ASM00BA Installation & Maintenance Instructions Manual page 9

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If the dispersion tube must be mounted below the humidifier or
if the steam hose needs to run up and over an obstruction, a drip
tee with drain trap, Part #5628RP, must be installed as shown in
Figure 4 .
NOTICE
CONTROL CONDENSATE FLOW AND COLLECTION.
Failure to follow steam hose recommendations in this
manual can result in reduced or erratic performance,
increased noise and condensate in the duct.
DISTANCE FROM HUMIDIFIER TO DISPERSION TUBE
The capacity of the humidifier is reduced by the length of
the steam hose or pipe due to condensation . The maximum
recommended length of steam hose is 6 feet . Use hard pipe
insulated with 1" thick insulation rated for 212°F or higher
for lengths greater than 6 feet . Table 4 provides humidifier
capacity with various lengths of steam hose and pipe . If 6-foot
steam hose does not reach from humidifier to dispersion tube,
splice in 1" copper pipe using 3/4" x 1" reducing couplings as
shown in Figure 6 .
