COPPER TUBING

PLASTIC TUBING

Mount the self tapping saddle valve on either a cold or a hot water pipe. A side or top mount is best to avoid clogging from pipe sediment. Connect 1/4” O.D. tubing to the saddle valve. Copper tubing requires a brass compression nut and brass sleeve. Plastic tubing requires a brass insert inside the tubing, a plastic sleeve on the outside with a brass compression nut.

NOTE: DO NOT USE PLASTIC TUBING ON HOT WATER OR IN CONTACT WITH ANY HOT PLENUM SURFACE OR DUCT. INSTALLATION OF THIS SADDLE VALVE MUST MEET OR EXCEED LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES.

INSTALLATION: The humidifier may be mounted with the 7" outlet to the right or left by inverting the cabinet and reversing the positions of the distributor trough and drain pan. The humidifier may be mounted on the warm or return air plenum with equal efficiency. See Typical Installations.

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS THAT MAY BE NECESSARY:

1. 1/4" diameter plastic supply tubing or 1/4" copper supply tubing for hot water applications

2. 7" diameter galvanized by-pass pipe

3. electrical wire and wire nuts

4. air pressure switch (G.F. Model #12500 suggested)

MODEL 1099

Install connecting collar and connect 7" elbow and by-pass pipe to collar and humidifier cabinet. USE UNCRIMPED END IN HUMIDIFIER CABINET. Using holes at top and bottom of humidifier bypass opening drill 2---1/8" holes through bypass pipe and screw bypass pipe to humidifier cabinet.

Select location on vertical surface of warm or return air plenum for mounting humidifier. Stick mounting template in place making sure the template is level. Do not install humidifier or 7" bypass pipe where the blanked off ends of a cooling coil will restrict air flow to the humidifier. Extend horizontal centerline from template to the adjacent plenum. Scribe 7” circle 10” to 15” from side of humidifier, on cabinet centerline, using connecting collar as guide.

Center punch and drill all six mounting holes as shown on template. Cut out center section

of template and 7” hole

. Install all six cabinet screws. Install drain pan, evaporator pad and distributor trough using the four slide clips provided.

SADDLE VALVE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Copper Pipe

1. Retract piercing pin into valve body by turning handle counterclockwise.

2. Screw valve body into upper bracket and tighten.

3. Place rubber gasket over piercing pin.

4. Assemble saddle valve over copper pipe using enclosed screws, nuts and lower bracket.

5. Tighten screws evenly and firmly. Brackets should be parallel.

6. Complete compression connection to saddle valve outlet.

7. Turn handle clockwise to pierce tubing and close saddle valve.

8. Turn handle counterclockwise to

open saddle valve, leave open for

several seconds to flush dirt from pipe and tubing. Steel, Brass or Hard Plastic Pipe

1. Shut off water supply and drain pipe.

2. Turn handle clockwise to expose piercing pin and close saddle valve.

3. Place rubber gasket over piercing pin.

4. Drill 1/8" hole in pipe using a hand crank drill to avoid shock hazard.

5. Assemble saddle valve over steel, brass or hard plastic pipe using enclosed screws, nuts and lower bracket.

6. Tighten screws evenly and firmly. Brackets should be parallel.

7. Complete compression connection to saddle valve outlet.

8. Turn handle counterclockwise to

open saddle valve, leave open for

several seconds to flush dirt from pipe and tubing. Threaded Pipe Fittings

1. Turn handle clockwise to expose piercing pin and close saddle valve.

2. Seal valve body threads using pipe tape or sealant.

3. Install valve into 1/8" NPT fitting.

4. Complete compression connection to saddle valve outlet.

5. Turn handle counterclockwise to

open saddle valve, leave open for

several seconds to flush dirt from pipe and tubing.

Attach solenoid valve to side of humidifier cabinet with flow arrow pointing up, using thumb nuts provided. Do not reverse brass fittings as valve will not function if flow is reversed. Inlet and outlet ports on valve may be reversed by loosening hex nut on solenoid coil and rotating valve 1/2 turn. Assemble distributor tube so that it is directed into the center opening of the distributor trough cover. Connect 1/4" water supply tube to brass filter at inlet of solenoid.

DO NOT USE PLASTIC TUBING IN CONTACT WITH ANY HOT PLENUM SURFACE OR DUCT. IF USING PLASTIC TUBING, USE TUBE SUPPORT PROVIDED.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIRING

FIG. 6A WITH FURNACE CIRCUIT BOARD

On furnaces with output terminals ACC, or EAC check output voltage to determine if terminals are 115V.

FIG. 6B WITH SINGLE SPEED BLOWER MOTOR

On furnaces with single speed blowers, wire the 115v. solenoid valve in parallel with the blower circuit and install a manual on-off switch in series with the 115v. solenoid valve.

FIG. 6C WITH TWO SPEED BLOWER MOTOR OR OUTSIDE

FURNACE CIRCUIT

On furnaces with a two speed blower motor or when wiring within the furnace is not practical, the humidifier and a Model 12500 Air Pressure Switch may be wired from a continuous 115 volt power source. Install the on/off switch and Air Pressure Switch in series with the 115v. solenoid valve on the hot or black wire. The Air Pressure Switch will detect furnace operation and supply power to the humidifier accordingly.

NOTE: ALL WIRING SHOULD COMPLY WITH LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
