Steam hose or tubing.
Insulate tubing to reduce
steam loss. Do not insulate
steam hose. See Table
19-1 for maximum piping
lengths.
Pitch*
Open drain required. Locate air gap only in spaces with adequate
temperature and air movement to absorb fl ash steam; otherwise,
condensation may form on nearby surfaces. Refer to governing codes for
drain pipe size and maximum discharge water temperature.
INSTALLATION
Dashed lines indicate provided by installer.

Notes:
• Single dispersion tube available with face width between 6" (152 mm) up to 120"
(3048 mm) in 1" (25 mm) increments.
• If face width is <19" (483 mm), tube capacity may be reduced. Consult DriSteem or see DriCalc for the correct capacity.
• Hose kits are available that include dispersion tube, 10 ft (3 m) of steam hose, and hardware
* Pitch steam hose or tubing toward humidifi er:
– 2"/ft (15%) when using steam hose
– 1/2"/ft (5%) when using 1½" tubing
– 1/4"/ft (2%) when using 2" tubing
