Prepare humidifier for mounting
Unpack unit from shipping carton and remove steam cylinder door.
Disconnect electrode and high water sensor connectors from steam
cylinder. Pull pins from brackets that retain steam cylinder. Remove
steam cylinder from drain valve body.
Mount humidifier
Mount the humidifier so that it is plumb. See Figures 8-1 and 9-1
for an installation overview.
When mounting on a wood stud wall (studs 16" [406 mm] on
center), locate studs and attach spanner board so that each of the
screws centers on a stud. Mark hole locations per Table 5-1 and
predrill 1/8" (3 mm) diameter pilot holes. Secure cabinet to spanner
board with screws provided.
When mounting on a metal stud wall, locate the studs (16"
[406 mm] on center) and drill a ¼" (6 mm) hole through the studs
and wall. Mount spanner board with ¼" (6 mm) bolts through the
wall, studs, and a backing plate on the backside of the wall and
secure with a nut and washer.
If 16" (406 mm) on-center studs are not available, mount spanner
boards on the wall, spanning two studs. If two horizontal boards
are used, locate one at the top of the cabinet for the mounting
screws and the other board located 3.5" (89 mm) on center from the
bottom of the cabinet.
For hollow block or poured concrete wall mounting, mark
mounting holes per Table 5-1. Drill pilot holes sized for the proper
concrete anchors. Secure cabinet in place using four screws.

the humidifier to fall off the wall resulting in
severe personal injury or death.
