INSTALLATION
The humidifier works well on gravity furnaces because
of its self-contained
blower system. Use the Remote
Installation
Kit, Sears Stock No. 9872. The humidifier
must be at least 6" away from the pUenum, due to the
higher operating temperature
of the furnace.
NOTE:
Furnace
temperatures
above
250°F
may
cause
failure
of fiberglass
parts.
Fiber
Plenum
Ducts
NOTE: The mounting screws supplied are for standard
installation
on sheet metal plenum ducts.
If you have fiber plenum ducts, install the plenum
stiffener and components
with thru-bolts,
nuts, and
washers (not supplied).
Jf necessary, reinforce the
humidifier mounting area on fiber ducts with sheet
metal and provide additional
bracing as required to
support the weight of the humidifier and water. (This
fiber duct installation
hardware is not supplied and
must be purchased from you local hardware store.)
You may also consider using the remote mount instal-
lation if you have fiber ducts. Purchase the Remote
Installation Kit separately from Sears, Stock No. 9372.

air plenum. Mark a level line at bast 2" above the
top of the furnace on the selected surface, if
front service method (Fig. 2) is used. If the
humidifier is to be serviced from the bottom (Fig.

the furnace. Hold stiffener against the plenum
with the bottom edge on a level line and bent
edge flanges towards you. Using a pencil, mark
