5. Exercise extreme caution when installing in
fiber glass or internally lined ducts.
6. High positive or negative static pressure ducts
or plenums have special requirements. High
positive static pressure ducts may require the
unit to be fitted with a fill cup extension kit.
High negative static pressure ducts will likely
require the drain rate of the humidifier to be
increased to compensate for the reduced
drainage caused by the suction.
7. Vertical downflow ducts may induce an
artificial static pressure necessitating a fill cup
extension kit.
8. Low temperature ducts below 60 F (15 C),
shallow ducts, or branch ducts might require
the use of a field supplied condensate drain
pan below the steam distributor. See Figure
#8.

9. The steam distributor mounting plate is
perpendicular to the steam distributor. When
the mounting plate is attached to the side of
the duct, the distributor is level. An upward or

downward slope to the distributor will result in
poor condensate drainage and "spitting" of
condensate in duct. See Figure #9.
