WATER SUPPLY
—I 1
Water for the humidifier must be taken from a nearby
cold water line. Turn off the water supply. Drain by opening a
faucet at a lower level of the line.

Position the saddle valve on the water line as close
to the humidifier as possible. You have been supplied with 10
feet of 1/4" plastic tubing.
SPECIAL NOTE:
When measuring the distance from the
saddle valve location to the humidifier, keep in mind that
the tubing must be supported; therefore, it must run along
ceiling and walls. Measure along the path the tubing will
follow.
__ O Connect the flexible hose as shown using clamp pro
vided. Do not allow flexible tube to come within 3" of furnace
flue pipe because of flue pipes extreme heat. If hose is under
stress (pulling), it may be necessary to drill 2 holes in humidi
fier collar for screws. This will prevent clamp from slipping off
(Fig. 14).

Back out the piercing pin by turning the “T” handle

(Fig. 16). On galvanized or copper pipe over 5/8", first drill a
5/32" hole.
CAUTION:
For safety, use a hand drill or grounded
electric drill.
