Important Installation Requirements

Failure to comply with these requirements will result in voided warranty, improper installation, and
service callbacks.

Personal Safety

• Wear safety glasses while installing TrueSTEAM.
• Do not cut into any air conditioning or electrical line.
• Follow professional safety standards and all local regulations.

Mounting Location

• Mount TrueSTEAM in a level position to avoid water damage or heating element failure.
• Install TrueSTEAM on the supply duct. Use the Remote Mounting Kit if duct mounting is not possible.
• Do not install TrueSTEAM where the ambient temperature is lower than 34°F (1.1°C) or higher
than 104°F (40°C).
• Mounting area must be strong enough to support TrueSTEAM's weight when full of water (up to 15 lbs.).
• Choose a location that is well ventilated. Do not install TrueSTEAM in completely enclosed spaces, such as a
cabinet or unventilated closet.
• Allow at least 1 foot clearance to ventilation holes in the TrueSTEAM cover. Do not cover the holes. Covering
them can increase the temperature inside TrueSTEAM and shorten its life.
• Do not mount directly to duct board. The remote mount nozzle attachment is allowed only with a Honeywell
duct board adapter kit. See "Appendix B: Parts List" on page 59.
• If used near a pool or spa, make sure TrueSTEAM can not fall into the water or be splashed. Also, ensure
TrueSTEAM is plugged into a ground fault interrupted (GFI) outlet.

Duct Nozzle

• Do not install the duct nozzle into a supply duct with static pressure exceeding 0.5 in. w.c.
• Do not install the duct nozzle through wooden sidewalls (e.g., floor joist).
• If the duct has exposed insulation on the interior, be sure the nozzle extends beyond the insulation. Clear away
excess insulation at the insertion point, or replace a section of insulated duct (approximately 6 in. x
6 in.) with rigid, non-insulated sheet metal.
• Allow at least 4 in. clearance between nozzle outlet and any interior duct to avoid water condensation.
• Mount TrueSTEAM where the nozzle outlet has a minimum 24 in. of downstream open air space.

Water Drainage

• Consult local plumbing codes for drain size, material, and maximum temperature allowed.
