CaUTIon
Each humidifier requires its own steam hose and dispersion tube. Do not connect steam hoses from more than one humidifier
together. Back-pressure from one humidifier can lower the water level in the canister in the other humidifier and cause
operational problems.
Do not install the dispersion tube in a duct with greater than 2 in. wg static pressure. High duct pressure can cause back-
pressure in the canister which can result in unstable unit operation.
Table 3 – absorption Distance (Minimum distance from dispersion tube downstream to any obstruction or bend in duct)

*Velocity in feet per minute = Duct airflow volume in cubic feet per minute / duct area in square feet .
Example: 1,200 cfm through 16” x 12” duct = 1,200/(12 x 16/144 sq . in ./sq ft .) = 1,200/1 .333 = 900 fpm
