Ceiling Mounting (SE50 Only)
Figure 8: Ceiling Mounting the SE50
Nortec offers an optional ceiling mounting kit (part number 2520345) which allows the SE50 to
be ceiling mounted with zero clearance to the ceiling. Follow the following guidelines for
installation.

Follow the instructions provided with the ceiling mounting kit.

Install in a location where regular maintenance can be performed. Provide clearance as
shown in Figure 6: Installation Location / Clearance.

The SE50 weighs 180 lb (82 kg) when filled with water and without any accessories or
piping. It is the installer’s responsibility to calculate the total weight which must be
supported, to ensure the ceiling structure is adequate, and to install support rods and to
connect drain pan per local codes and regulations.

The humidifier cannot be used as a structural member. All piping connected to the unit
must be supported independently.

A drain line emptying into an open drain must be connected to the ceiling kit drain pan.
Nortec recommends a 1/2 in. pipe with sufficient slope to ensure any water collected in the
pan will drain from it.
Note:. The SE50 requires regular maintenance including removal of scale from the
heat exchanger and tank. Make sure it is installed in a location where the
maintenance can be performed.
