Important Installation Requirements - Honeywell TrueSTEAM HM506 Installation Manual

Important Installation Requirements
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 Ibs.).
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 35.
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.
