3. Use 1/4 in. (6 mm) OD tub-
ing and connect the saddle
valve to the inlet side of the
solenoid valve on the
humidifier (see Fig. 9).
a. Place the brass com-
pression nut over the
tubing.
b. Install brass insert into
end of tubing.
c. Slide the plastic com-
pression ring over the
tubing. (Discard copper
compression ring pro
-
vided with valve.)

NOTE: To prevent leaking, use plastic (Delrin) sleeve rings with plastic tubing. Use
copper sleeve rings only with copper tubing.
d. Insert the tubing into the solenoid valve fitting and support the valve while
tightening the compression nut.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the compression nut. Moderate tightness prevents leak-
ing.
e. Repeat steps a. through d. for solenoid valve fitting.
f. Secure tubing with clamps provided.
4. Connect a 1/2 in. (13 mm) drain tube
to the humidifier drain fitting and run
to the floor drain (see Fig. 10).
a. Slide the drain clamp over the
tubing.
b. Push the tubing over the drain
nipple on the humidifier.
c. Hand-tighten the clamp around
the tubing to secure the humidi
-
fier drain.
d. Fasten the drain tubing (can use
duct tape) along the route to pre
-
vent movement and ensure
downward slope for correct drain
-
age.
NOTE: Cut tubing to correct length so the
tubing terminates at the drain.
