HM506 maximum remote hose length is 10 ft. HM509 and HM512 maximum is 20 ft. For best performance, mount the humidifier as close as possible to the remote nozzle location.

Horizontal installation must have upward pitch of at least 2 in. per ft.

Remote hose must be supported to prevent sags. Where there are long, straight runs, 1-1/2 in. x 2-1/4 in. perforated metal angle is recommended to provide continuous support under the hose. Other rigid materials, such as 2x4 lumber, may also be used to continuously support the hose.

Never support the hose by attaching it to PVC pipe or other materials that may sag over time, or materials that cannot support the weight of the hose.

Where it is not possible to provide continuous support, anchor the hose every 12 inches by securing it to a rigid support using the support hooks provided.

Use the provided insulated hose to sustain output efficiency.

Never make sharp bends in the steam hose, as this will cause kinks. Pay particular attention when routing the steam hose around rafters or joists and avoid sharp bends and kinks in these areas.

Attach the remote humidifier nozzle so it directs the hose upward. Do not attempt to route the hose through the hole in the mounting bracket.

Down sloping remote hose must have a drain with a wetted trap installed at the lowest point. Use a Tee that is rated for continuous use for steam. Do not use a plastic Tee and do not use more than one downward slope.

ALWAYS inspect the hose installation after the humidifier has been operating for at least one hour to confirm that there are no sags or leaks. Note that the hose gets softer after it heats up so sags may develop after the initial installation.

Install drain line according to the instructions on the next page.

Install a drip pan with a wet switch under the humidifier when installed in finished spaces.

PLUMBING TO FLOOR DRAIN

3A 3B

Ideal for Installation

Draining water may be hot.

Direct and secure the hose outlet into the floor drain to reduce risk of hot water pooling or splashing.

OTHER PLUMBING OPTIONS

Choose the plumbing option that suits your installation. Use A, B, C, or D based on type of pipe or condensate pump. Consult and follow local plumbing codes in addition to these instructions.

FOR ALL OPTIONS SHOWN:

Option 1: Plumbing to drain with condensate pump.

• Use Hartell A3X-115 condensate pump or equivalent

(212°F temperature rating, > 1 GPM pump flow rate).

• Support rubber hose every 6 in.

• PVC must be schedule 40 or higher rating.

• All plastic pipe joints are welded.

• Drain into a P-trap that will remain wetted at all times.

Option 2: Plumbing to a dedicated trap.

Clamp

Consult and follow plumbing codes for drain pipe size and maximum temperature requirement.

Install drain hose with continuous downhill slope.

• Pump must be powered when TrueSTEAM is operating.

• Use a pump with a built-in overflow sensor or install the pump in a drip pan with wet switch wired to turn off TrueSTEAM.

Option 3: Plumbing to sink with a dedicated trap.

Connect to TrueSTEAM.
