Connect by-pass pipe to collar and humidifier cabinet. Using holes at
top and bottom of side panel discharge, pierce 2 self tapping screws
through by- pass pipe.
Mount the self tapping saddle valve on either a cold or a hot water
pipe. A side or top mount is best to avoid clogging from pipe
sediment. Connect 1/4” O.D. tubing to the saddle valve. Copper
tubing requires a brass compression nut and brass sleeve. Plastic
tubing requires a brass insert inside the tubing, a plastic sleeve on
the outside with a brass compression nut.
NOTE: DO NOT USE PLASTIC TUBING ON HOT WATER OR IN
CONTACT WITH ANY HOT PLENUM SURFACE OR DUCT.
INSTALLATION OF THIS SADDLE VALVE MUST MEET OR
EXCEED LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES.

Select location on vertical surface of warm or return air plenum for
mounting humidifier. Tape mounting template in place making sure the
template is level. Do not install humidifier or 7" bypass pipe where the
blanked off ends of a cooling coil will restrict air flow to the humidifier.
Extend horizontal centerline from template to the adjacent plenum. Scribe
7” circle 10” to 15” from side of humidifier, on cabinet centerline, using
connecting collar as guide.
Cut out center section of template and 7” hole. Humidifier is self
retaining. Slide top side in first, then slide chassis down. Level
chassis and install center screws. If by-pass pipe installs to
opposite side of chassis, bend clip on side discharge, remove side
discharge, and reinstall discharge to opposite side of chassis.
Install remaining four corner screws.

Turn on water supply and check operation of humidifier. Set humidistat to
a demand setting. With the furnace off, the solenoid valve should be
closed. Start the furnace, the solenoid valve should open when the
blower or burner circuit is energized. Check flow of water through
distributor trough and evaporator pad. The standard GA4299 (ORANGE)
orifice will supply approximately 4.75 GPH of water at a line water
pressure of 60 psi. For low water pressures (20-40 psi) a larger (BLUE)
orifice GA4232 is available to provide the same flow. Leave humidistat
set at the recommended setting.
Connect drain hose to 1/2" spout on humidifier cabinet using hose clamp if
necessary. Run 1/2" hose to suitable drain such as floor drain, sewer or laundry
sink. Be sure hose has continuous slope and is not kinked at any point.

Your Humidifier is engineered to give helpful and trouble-free humidification. For maximum efficiency the following cleaning procedures should be carried
out at the end of each heating season:
1. Turn off water supply and electrical power to humidifier.
2. Remove cover, distributor trough, evaporator pad and drain pan. Clean excessive mineral deposits from the
distributor trough, drain pan, pad rails, and humidifier cabinet. A solution of 1/2 vinegar & 1/2 water will help loosen
mineral deposits.
3. If the evaporator pad has excessive mineral deposits, replace with a new GA-23 evaporator pad. Install trough and
drain pan. Replace cover.
4. In heavy mineral areas or if the solenoid valve fails to function disconnect the 1/4” water supply line from the
solenoid valve. Carefully pull the strainer screen (P.N. GA4004) from the valve body (P.N. GA4040). Clean the
mineral deposits from all parts. If the orifice is clogged, it may be opened by inserting a small pin. Reinsert the filter
into the orifice fitting and screw the brass strainer body into the solenoid valve.
5. Reconnect the 1/4” water line to the solenoid valve if necessary. Turn on the water supply and check all points for
leakage. The operation of the unit may be checked by starting the furnace. The humidifier operates only when the
furnace blower is running or the burner circuit is energized. The humidifier is now ready for operation.
6. During the summer, turn off water supply and electrical power to humidifier. Close air damper.

The operating principle of the humidifier is based on the most efficient
and economical means of evaporating water to the air. The humidifier
uses only 2.5 watts of electrical power during operation, less than the
smallest household light bulb. The heat necessary for evaporating water
is produced by the furnace.
The water supply to the humidifier is controlled by the electric solenoid
valve. The humidistat connected in series with the solenoid provides low
voltage control of the humidifier. The humidistat is designed for wall
mounting in the living area or surface mounting on the return air duct.
ELECTRICAL RATING: 24 VAC / 60 Hz.
DO NOT SET RELATIVE HUMIDITY TOO HIGH DURING COLD
WEATHER. EXCESSIVE HUMIDITY MAY CAUSE CONDENSATION ON
WINDOWS OR IN WALLS. REFER TO RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
AS DESCRIBED IN THE HUMIDISTAT OWNERS MANUAL.
Water flows through a strainer, is metered through an orifice to provide
the proper amount of water, and is supplied to the evaporator pad by the
distributor trough. Approximately 200 CFM of air is by-passed from the
warm air plenum through the humidifier and returned to the cold air
plenum. Moisture is evaporated to the air passing through the evaporator
pad.
Minerals are not blown into the air stream as occurs in atomizing
humidifiers; they are left on the evaporator pad where a high percentage
is carried off with the waste water.
�
When the humidifier is installed and operating, no adjustments are
necessary other than setting the control knob on the humidistat to the
desired level of humidification. Leave knob on the humidifier in "HI" or
"WINTER" position.
To turn the humidifier off, close water supply valve, switch electrical
power off and turn humidistat off. If furnace is used for summer cooling or
ventilating set air damper on "LOW" or "SUMMER".
