Cautions and Warnings
CAUTION: Servicing
• The unit is mains powered. Disconnect main power
before any servicing.
• Electrical compartment contains high voltage compon-
ents. Access should be limited to authorized personnel
only.
• The unit is hot. Wait for the unit to drain and cool be-
fore servicing. During and following operation of the
humidier, the steam and components in contact with
the steam such as the steam lines, steam distributors,
and condensate lines can become hot and can burn if
touched.
• Condair does not accept any liability for installations of
humidity equipment installed by unqualied personnel,
or the use of parts, components, or equipment that are
not authorized or approved by Condair.
CAUTION: Electrical
• All electrical work should be done according to all
applicable local and national codes.
• Electrical connection to be performed by a licensed
electrician.
CAUTION: Plumbing
• (Recommended) Plumbing to be performed by a
licensed plumber.
• Drain water from the humidier can be very hot. Drain
to an appropriate oor drain.
• All plumbing work should be done according to local
plumbing code.
CAUTION: Installation
• Do NOT mount in area where freezing can occur.
• Do NOT mount on vibrating surface.
• Do NOT mount on the oor.
• Do NOT block the steam outlet.
• (Recommended) Install an air proving switch.
• Do install steam lines to prevent any restrictions that
may cause back-pressure in the humidier.
• Ensure furnace fan is operating while the humidier is
generating steam.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Location and Clearances
The Condair HumiLife RH may be installed on a wall and
remotely connect to your ventilation system, or directly onto
the ventilation duct.
When choosing the location for your humidier, ensure there
is enough clearance for servicing and maintenance, and for
the installation of the steam line and steam distributor.
For remote installations, you will require a longer steam hose,
so consider the steam line recommendations below for ef-
cient humidication.
For installations on a wall, mount the unit on wall studs
(2x4 or equivalent).
For installations directly on the duct, use the mounting tem-
plate (supplied) to locate pilot holes for mounting the unit and
installing the steam distributor.
(Recommended) Install the distributor rst. The location of the
distributor will dene the location of the humidier.

Clearance dimensions shown are for reference only and are
the minimum required for maintenance of the humidier.
Consult local and national code before nal location and
installation.
Condair does not accept responsibility for installation code
violations.
Important Considerations for the Steam Line
• Install the humidier below the steam distributor.
• Install support brackets (one supplied with the humidier) to prevent sagging in the steam line. If sagging occurs,
use additional support brackets.
• Install the humidier as close as possible to the steam distributor. Short distances minimize condensate losses
and reduces the possibility of back pressure in the steam line.
• Bend radius: 6 in (150 mm) minimum.
• Length: 15 ft (4.5 m) maximum.
• Slope: 15° min. (up-slope), 2° max. (down-slope).
Note: install condensate traps at low points if the steam line has any down-slope.
• Steam line material: Condair steam hose (supplied), or properly insulated stainless steel or copper, with max.
surface temperature at 140 ° F (60 °C).
• Clamp torque: 12 in-lb (1.36 Nm) (max. at humidier outlet).

Create a 1.18 in (30 mm) hole in the duct. Install distributor on the supply
duct, after the cooling coil, and before any bends or obstructions.
For horizontal ducts, cut the hole at roughly 2/3 of duct height, from the top.
For vertical ducts, cut the hole halfway between the two sides of the duct.
Place a gasket over the steam distributor and
insert the distributor into the duct. Ensure that the
arrows on the distributor are pointing up. Secure
the distributor to the duct with self-tapping screws.
Removing the Steam Cylinder

show you where to cut a hole for the distributor.
On the wall stud (2x4 or equivalent) or duct, mark the location
for the key hole A (on the back of the humidier). Insert a

2 Inlet, quick connect (supplied)
3 Inlet water line, 1/4 in (6.4 mm) (supplied) 4 Drain line, 3/4 in (20 mm) I.D. (supplied)
Water Supply Requirements
Quality Potable water (do not use reverse osmosis or deionized water)
Pressure 30 - 80 psig (2 - 5.5 bar)
Temperature 39 - 86 °F (4 - 30 °C), cold water
Conductivity 125 - 1250 μS/cm
Other • Water shut-off valve installed before the humidier (for service).
• Installed according to national and local plumbing code.
Drain Requirements
The Condair HumiLife RH produces hot water during operation. Upon normal drainage, the drain water is automa-
tically cooled to 140 °F (60 °C).
IMPORTANT! Drain water may reach high temperatures 212 °F (100 °C) in cases where the supply water is not
cold, or obstructed.
Considerations for the drain connection
• (Recommended) Drain line is made of a material rated to handle hot temperatures, 212 °F (100 °C).
• (Recommended) Use the drain line hose supplied with the humidier. For longer runs, use copper pipe with the
same inner diameter as the drain line hose supplied with the humidier, inner diameter: 3/4 in (20 mm).
• Ensure that the internal diameter throughout the drain line is constant.
• Ensure that the drain line is adequately sized. A restricted drain line may result in higher mineral concentrations
in the water and can result in poor performance.
• Ensure that the drain line is routed to a oor drain (or where plumbing codes permit). If the drain is far from the
humidier, use a condensate pump rated for hot drain water.
• Ensure that the drain line has a consistent, downward slope (1.2°) to the drain.
