Installation Guide
Remote mount installation
This kit is used with the Honeywell TrueSTEAM
mounted up to 20 feet away from the duct. This kit includes everything needed to complete the
installation, including insulated steam hose that will ensure maximum efficiency.
Follow these installation instructions carefully for trouble-free operation.
Most operation problems are caused by improper hose installation. Always ensure an uphill flow
when installing the remote hose, and avoid kinks, sharp turns, or low spots that could restrict
the flow of steam into the injection nozzle or condensation back into the humidifier.
If the remote hose cannot be installed with an upward pitch of 2 in./ft., a wetted drip tee must
be installed. Failure to do so can result in back pressure on TrueSTEAM, which can lead to duct
nozzle water spitting or leaking gasket. Remote hose must be supported to prevent sagging or
low spots.
Choose a location for TrueSTEAM and the
1
remote duct nozzle.
It should have access for:
• Remote hose installation. Steam hose
must be installed with 2 in./ft. pitch on a
continuous uphill slope.
• Drain. Allow a continuous downslope to the
drain.
• Cold water line.
• Electrical circuit rated to your humidifier
(see circuit ratings on page 5).
