Mounting

Mounting Procedure

1. The Condair WH humidifier is wall mounted using a keyhole located on the back of the humidifier.

2. Use #8 x 2 in. (5 cm) screws mounted into 2×4 studs or better if there is drywall or other spacers. 2 screws are needed, one for hanging the unit and one for securing it so it will not lift off the keyhole.

3. Install the top screw so that 1/4 in. (6 mm) is exposed.
   Raise the unit and place the screw head through the keyhole.

4. Make sure the unit is level and then insert and tighten the second screw through the bottom hole. Tighten the top screw.

Mounting Requirements
Condair does not accept responsibility for installation code violations.

1. Install as close as possible to the steam distributor.
2. Minimize the use of turn or bends in the steam line as much as feasibly possible.
3. Mount on a suitable wall or vertical surface. Do not sit the on the floor, where freezing can occur, or on vibrating surfaces.
4. Allow clearances for plumbing and electrical connections. Consult local and national codes prior to final location and installation.
5. Install only in areas with ambient temperature 41104°F (5 – 40°C), and relative humidity 5 – 95% (noncondensing).
6. When possible, mount the Condair WH humidifier at a height convenient for servicing.

Electrical

Install Requirements
Condair does not accept responsibility for installation code violations.

1. All electrical connections to the humidifier are to be done while the unit is switched off, and the external disconnect is open.
2. Wiring should be done by a licensed electrician.
3. Install a labeled disconnect switch within view of the humidifier.

Note:

1. Install jumper between P and terminal that corresponds to supply voltage.
2. Dedicated external fused disconnect must be installed. Fusing must not exceed max circuit protection as indicated on the specification label.
3. Ensure that adequate power is available to carry full humidifier amp draw as indicated on the specification label.
4. Do not use neutral wire as a ground, connect to ground lug.
5. All Wiring to be in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

WARNING
Wiring needs to be preformed by a licensed Electrician.

Plumbing

Water Supply Requirements
Condair does not accept responsibility for installation code violations. All drain and fill line connections should be installed in accordance with local plumbing codes by a licensed plumber.

1. Use ½” OD copper or plastic supply lines within 4 feet of the humidifier.
2. Install water shut off valve and coupler to facilitate servicing.
3. Do not use reverse osmosis or de-ionized water.
4. Flush supply lines with fresh clean water after installing, prior to operating the humidifier.
5. Do not solder/braze copper lines while connected to the humidifier or the fill solenoid can melt or deform.
6. Water conditions must meet the following criteria for optimal operation, consult factory for water conditions outside of this range.
   a. Pressure: 30 to 80 PSIG
   b. Conductivity: 150-1200 Microsiemens
   c. Temperature: 33.8-68°F/1-20°C
   d. Harness 0-10 GPG and Silica 0-4 PPM
   –OR–
   Hardness 0-3 GPG and Silica 0-14 PPM

Drain Line Requirements

1. Use 7/8 Copper. Do not use PVC.

2. Install an air gap within three feet of the humidifier.
   A copper reducer from 2.5”-7/8” is ideal, do not allow the drain hose to bottom out in the funnel cup.

3. The drain line should not end in a sink used frequently by personnel, or where plumbing codes prohibit it. Route to a floor drain or equivalent for safety reasons.

4. Insure drain line is adequately sloped and sized to provide free and easy draining.

Steam Distribution

Install Requirements

1. Steam lines must not have any restrictions which could result in back pressure.
2. Follow recommended materials, size and length, see table.
3. Slope the steam lines a minimum of 2” for every 12” horizontal run against the flow of steam and 0.5” for every 12” horizontal run with the flow of steam.
4. Insulate copper or SS tube with 1.0 in. (2.5 cm) pipe insulation.
5. Trap low points in steam line with full size ‘T’ fittings, and off of the distributor condensate connection.
   Condensate traps must be a minimum of 3 in. in height or duct static pressure

• 2 in. (whichever is greater) and drop a minimum of 12 inches prior to the top of the trap.

  6. Do not over tighten hose clamp at cylinder steam outlet. The maximum torque is 12 in-lbs.
  7. Support the steam line so the weight does not rest on the cylinder.

∗ The use of steam line other than copper, stainless steel tube or Condair supplied steam line will void the warranty and may adversely affect the operation of the humidifier.
∗∗ T hese diameters require a reducer at humidifier and steam distributor connection. Use Condair part number 1115444 at humidifier to prevent backpressure caused by condensation collecting at the reduction.
