Steam humidifiers (or other products) should be installed in locations that allow routine inspection and accessibility
for maintenance operations. Armstrong recommends that steam humidifiers not be placed in locations where
unusual instances of malfunction of the humidifiers or the systems might cause damage to non-repairable,
irreplaceable, or priceless property.
