Steam generated by the Nortec GS humidier can be distributed into a conditioned space through an air
handling unit (AHU) using Nortec steam distributors, blower packs or Nortec SAM-e steam distribution
manifolds – refer to their respective manuals for installation details.
Refer to "Site Requirements" on page 18 for the steam and condensate line installation requirements. Read
"Best Practices for Installing Steam and Condensate Lines" on page 30 before installing the main steam line and
