• Make sure that the 20 ft (6.2m) of feed water tubing provided is adequate to
connect the water supply (saddle valve) with the humidifier solenoid valve.
Locating Closest Floor Drain
• Select location with access to a floor drain to provide drainage for air conditioner
condensation and humidifier drainage.
• If you do not have a drain available, we recommend that you install the Honeywell
Whole House Drum or Disk Humidifier. Make sure that the 10 ft (3.1m) of drain
tubing is adequate to reach from the humidifier drain connection to the floor drain.
Selecting Location for Humidistat
• Select a location for the humidistat on the return plenum or on the wall in the living
space.
— Mounting on the return plenum is the easiest installation for the control wiring
circuit.
For return duct mounting, the humidistat should be mounted upstream from the
humidifier or bypass so that it is properly sensing the relative humidity of the living
space. Locate the control at least 8 in. (203 mm) upstream from the humidifier in the
return air duct. (See Fig. 2.)
Locating Closest 120V Electrical Outlet
• Select location with access to an outlet. If not available, contact an electrician to
have one installed.
• Make sure that the humidifier cord is adequate to reach from the humidifier to the
outlet.
• Make sure that the 20 ft (6.2m) of thermostat wire is adequate to reach from the
humidifier solenoid, to the pressure switch, to the humidistat.
