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.
