• Offset humidifier from spill funnel or floor drain to prevent flash steam from rising into the cabinet. • Dashed lines indicate provided by installer. • The water supply inlet is more than 1" (25 mm) above the skim/overflow port, eliminating the possibility of backflow or siphoning from the tank. No additional backflow prevention is required; however, governing codes prevail. • Install a union in the water supply and drain lines as shown to allow tank removal. • Damage caused by chloride corrosion is not covered by your DRI-STEEM warranty. • See the next page for recommended piping for Vapormist-DI models (models that use DI/RO water). • See the dispersion section of this manual for more information about piping that connects the humidifier to the dispersion assembly.
