3. Mechanical installation
3.1. General recommendations
CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY
BEFORE TO PROCEED TO INSTALLATION.
IMPORTANT: Mechanical installation should conform to local codes and regulations.
Location: Plan a location easy to access in order to permit an easy inspection and servicing of the humidifier.
Do not install humidifier where failure of the appliance could cause damage to the building structure or to costly
equipment.
This location should be well ventilated; the ambient temperature should not exceed 85F (30C).
Typically, the total steam line length between the humidifier and the steam distributor depends on the steam line
material type:
For flexible steam hose: the total steam line length should not exceed 16 feet (5 meters). For longer
distances use insulated hard piping.
For insulated hard piping: the total steam line length should be determined by the humidifier capacity: one
equivalent foot for each lb/h capacity of the humidifier (0,67m for each kg/h), with a maximum of 50 feet
(15m). For longer steam line runs, consult factory.

24'’
39 to 48'’
Positioning (Illus. 3)
3.2. Positioning
The front panel and the right side (electrical compartment) should be
accessible in order to permit the servicing.
Leave a clearance of at least 48” (1,25m) to the front panel and 24”
(0,6m) to the right side.
The humidifier should be mounted at a minimum of 39” (1m) to 48”
(1,2m) above floor level.
Leave a clearance of at least 10” (0,25m) under the humidifier for
installation of water supply, drain piping and electrical connections.
3.3. Wall mounting
Use the keyholes located on the back panel of the humidifier.
Before to proceed to the wall mounting, take off the Evaporation
chamber sub assembly (see section 12, Servicing).
Check the solidity of the chosen support or wall (bricks, concrete,
stud partition wall, etc) on which the humidifier will be mounted.
Drill holes for the upper anchors (holes with eyelet) into the support
or wall as per dimensions specified in the table (illus.4).
The holes dimensions (diameter and depth) should by in accordance
with the recommendations of the chosen anchors.
Install then bolt anchors, if required.
Screw-on the 2 or 3 upper screws (holes with eyelet) of a minimum
diameter of #10 (6mm) (screws are not supplied).
Leave a clearance between head screws and wall in order to permit
the mounting of the humidifier.
Use the keyholes located on the back panel of the humidifier.
Hang on the humidifier to the 2 or 3 screws; it is preferable let the
front door open during this operation.
According to the size and weight of the humidifier, you may need the
help of a second person to assist you.
When the humidifier is positioned on the upper screws, tighten the
screws to secure the humidifier.
If applicable, install and secure lower screws.

General
Recommendations The humidifier should be installed in an easily accessible location to allow proper
access for inspection and servicing of the humidifier. The unit should never be
installed in a location where unusual malfunction of the unit can cause damage to
the building structure or to costly equipment.
Minimum
Clearances
Minimum clearances are :
Top, 20’’ (51 cm) minimum
Both sides, 24’’ (60 cm) minimum
Front, 42’’ (107 cm) minimum
Note: Above minimum clearances are indicated for inspection and servicing
access.
The humidifier is designed to be installed directly on the floor/roof or a curb.
Provide a level, solid foundation for the humidifier.
Ensure that the floor/roof beneath the humidifier is water proof to withstand any
water spillage during servicing or if a problem occurs.
Attach securely and safely the SK enclosure.

4. Steam dispersion system selection and positioning
4.1. Steam dispersion system selection
In order to prevent the accumulation of condensation in air ducts, NEP has designed 4 basic configurations of
steam distribution to provide the client with the most economical solution for any particular application.
4.1.1. S.A.M. (steam absorption manifold) Horizontal duct
air
(Illus. 5)
The SAM is to be installed where
absorption distances are short,
less than 5 feet (1500mm), and/or
low duct temperatures are in effect.
4.1.2. S.A.M.E2 (steam absorption manifold) Horizontal duct
900
air
(Illus. 6)
The SAME2 is to be installed
where absorption distances are
short, less than 5 feet (1500mm)
and/or low duct temperatures are
in effect. SAME2 are used in
applications with restricted duct
dimensions.

(Illus.8)
The Multi-Steam system is to be
installed in critical locations in air
handling systems, particularly
where absorption distances are
very short, less than 3 feet
(900mm), or low air duct
temperatures are in effect.
The Multi-Steam is custom made
to the dimensions of duct or AHU.
Instructions to install Multi-Steam
system are described in a specific
installation instructions manual

4.2. Positionning of S.A.M or S.A.M.E2
4.2.1. Duct mounting
Steam manifold should be mounted and
secured through the side of the air
handling unit or duct. Provision should be
made for safe accessibility, ideally with an
observation light and window.
Check that the construction of the duct
wall is suitable enough to support the
steam pipe for the duration of the
installation life.
Dimension of hole size in the duct must be
as per table below:
Steam manifold Ø Hole size ØA

5.2. General recommendations
Please follow these general rules of installation in order to avoid any static pressure inside distribution pipes
and into the humidifier evaporation chamber, and also to avoid any condensation accumulation.
a) The slope of the steam hose (rigid or flexible)
should not be less than 15% (7 horizontal length for
1 vertical length) in order to ensure continuous
drainage of condensation back to humidifier or to
steam trap.
b) Total length of the flexible steam hose should not
exceed 16feet (5 meters). Longer runs will result in
added condensation losses. Whenever possible, use
insulated copper piping. Flexible steam hose should
be used for short runs (up to 16ft or 5m) or for
interconnecting between the rigid pipes.
c) Whenever using rigid copper, these ones should
be insulated to diminish condensation build up. Incorrect installation
(Illus. 22)
5.3. Installation of “S” traps on the steam line
The lowest point of any steam hose or rigid pipe must be the humidifier. If necessary a steam separator
(S trap) should be installed higher than the static pressure of the system by at least 2” (51mm).

SDU mounted on humidifier (Illus. 26)
The SDU should be installed in an
environment where the air is relatively
clean. This will avoid the blower from
getting clough with dust.
The humidifier should be mounted such
that the SDU fan section is at least 78”
(2m) above the floor.
A minimum clearance of 18” (0.45m) from
the ceiling should be allocated to avoid
ceiling and wall condensation.
If additional ventilation is not present, the
fan should have a clearance from the
ceiling of at least 54” (1.35m). Proper
ventilation must be observed to avoid
ceiling and wall condensation.
SDU remote installation:
The SDU can be in a different location
from the humidifier (remote SDU). Please
follow the piping recommendations
(section 5.2).
Mount the SDU to the wall on brackets
(not supplied), do not drill mounting holes
thru the cabinet of the SDU.
Connect the steam hose(s) to the bottom
inlet(s) of the SDU to the top of the steam
outlet(s) of the humidifier. Secure the
hose(s) with the supplied hose clamp.
Connect the condensate hose to the
bottom of the SDU to an open drain.
Connect the electrical wires from the SDU
to the top of the humidifier. Field wiring
must conform to local codes.
The fan of the SDU will operate for a period of
four minutes after steam production has
stopped to prevent condensation.
Avoid any obstruction of the ventilation
openings on top of the SDU.
Maintenance of the SDU:
Clean the blower if there is an
accumulation of dust.
