REQUIRED TOOLS:
2.0 Aviation Snips • #2 Flathead Screwdriver • #1 Phillips Screwdriver •
Adjustable Wrench • Pliers • Electric Drill with 7/64 in. (0.28 cm), 3/32 in. (0.24
cm), 1/4 in. (0.64 cm) and 3/8 in. (0.95 cm) Drill Bits • Hammer • Center Punch
INSTALLING THE HUMIDIFIER:
3.0 CAUTION: When selecting a location for the humidifier, make sure the spray
will not impinge or accumulate on any fan, limit controls, resistance heating coils or
heating/air coils.
3.1 Select a location where the air will push the
spray mist away from the humidifier.
3.2 Mount the humidifier on the warm air
plenum only, with the nozzle pointing up in the
direction of airflow (see Figure 1, left). On narrow
plenums, mount the humidifier on the narrow side.
3.3 If there is not enough room on the warm air
plenum, mount the humidifier further downstream
on the warm air duct, away from the heating and
cooling coil.
3.4 If it is necessary to mount the spray nozzle
further away from the humidifier (in order to move
the nozzle further into the air stream for better
absorption), remove the nozzle adapter and 45°
fitting from the solenoid valve. Use the fittings
supplied in the parts bag to relocate the nozzle
using 1/4 in. (0.64 cm) copper tubing (not supplied).
(See Figure 2, below, left.) CAUTION: Do not allow
copper tubing to come in contact with sharp edges
or surfaces that may cause wear on the tubing.
3.5 Tape the template (provided) on the warm air
plenum in the location selected for the humidifier.
CAUTION: Make sure the template is level.
3.6 Center punch and
drill four 7/64 in. (0.28 cm)
mounting holes, as shown
on the template. DANGER:
Make sure you are not
cutting or drilling into air
conditioning or electrical
accessories.
3.7 Drill a 3/8 in. (0.95
cm) hole in the center of the
shaded area of the template;
cut a rectangular opening
(staying within the shaded
area), as indicated.
3.8 Install the drain cup
over the nozzle; attach it with
a #6 x 3/8 in. (0.95 cm) sheet
metal screw. (See Figure 3,
left.)
3.9 Install 3/16 in. (0.48
cm) ID tubing on the copper
humidifier drain and run it to a
waste drain. (An occasional
drip from the drain tube when
the humidifier is operating is
normal.)
3.10 Attach the humidifier
with four #8 sheet metal
screws.
INSTALLING THE INSPECTION WINDOW:
NOTE: A clear, plastic window is supplied with the humidifier to be mounted on the
ductwork. This allows you to observe whether the humidifier is functioning properly,
and whether there is water impinging on parts or surfaces within the system.
4.0 Select a mounting location on the ductwork where the humidifier spray
nozzle can be viewed easily.
4.1 Drill a 3/8 in. (0.95 cm) hole and cut a 4-1/2 in. x 2 in. (11.43 cm x 5.08
cm) rectangular opening. DANGER: Make certain that you are not drilling or
cutting into any air conditioning or electrical accessories during installation.
4.2 Position the window over the opening; mark and center-punch the two
mounting hole locations.
4.3 Drill the two 3/32 in. (0.24 cm) mounting holes.
4.4 Attach the window with two #6 phillips-head screws (not provided).

IMPORTANT
THIS HUMIDIFIER MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED CONTRACTOR.
DO NOT INSTALL ON ANY SYSTEM WITH WATER PRESSURE LESS THAN
40 PSI (275.79 KPA).
Installation on water systems with hardness ratings greater than 7 grains is
not recommended. Such installations can result in nozzle blockage, dripping,
erratic spray patterns and other maintenance problems. Hardness above 7
grains will also produce dust from solids in the water supply, which will be
distributed throughout the home. Consult your municipal water provider
before continuing.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
READ THESE PRECAUTIONS AND ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLING THE HUMIDIFIER.
NOTE: Skuttle Mfg. Co. (aka Skuttle Indoor Air Quality Products) assumes no
responsibility under warranty if installer does not follow these instructions and
safety precautions.
• Do not install a humidier where the heating temperatures can exceed 200°F
(93.33°C). Excessive temperatures will damage the humidifier, possibly
causing an overflow condition and water damage to the home.
• Do not install a humidifier where the surrounding temperature can be 32°F
(0°C) or colder. Frozen water will damage the humidifier and burst the supply
pipe, resulting in home damage.
• Do not cut or drill into any air conditioning or electrical accessories during
humidifier installation. DANGER: Electrocution is possible if you come
in contact with a live wire; blindness can occur if refrigerant contacts
your eyes.
• When the humidifier is installed in an area where water damage could occur,
connect the humidifier’s overflow provision to a suitable drain pan.
• For above-ceiling installations, always install a drain safety pan, plumbed to
a suitable drain.
• For initial recommended humidistat settings, refer to Table 1, below.
(Because relative humidity affects people differently, these settings can
be raised or lowered slightly to suit personal comfort levels.) CAUTION:
Setting the humidistat higher than the recommended setting can cause
condensation, resulting in home damage. If excessive moisture appears
on windows or walls, reduce the humidistat’s humidity setting enough to
eliminate condensation. If the situation continues, turn off the humidifier’s
water source until condensation is gone.
• Make sure the installation, wiring and plumbing of the humidifier comply with
local codes, ordinances and regulations.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
1.0 This humidifier puts moisture into the home by spraying a fine mist of water
into the warm air plenum, which is carried into the living area by the duct system.
1.1 When wired as recommended, the humidifier will operate only when the
furnace blower is operating and the humidistat is calling for humidity.
1.2 The nozzle capacity (flow) is rated at 40 psi (275.79 kPa). This capacity
varies according to line pressure, as shown in Table 2, below. Select the nozzle
that delivers the required spray in accordance with the pressure in your area.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LINED DUCTWORK OR ON DUCT BOARD.
PLUMBING THE HUMIDIFIER:
5.0 Select the nearest cold water pipe and install the saddle connector and
needle valve, supplied with this unit. Use copper tubing only.
• The needle valve is a self-piercing valve when installed on copper pipe.
Follow the instructions supplied with the valve.
• Mount the valve so that water will come from the top or side. This will reduce
the chance of minerals clogging the valve.
5.1 Follow these compression plumbing tips:
• Lightly clean the tubing ends with ne sandpaper before making connections.
• Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the tting before tightening the
compression nut.
5.2 IMPORTANT: After attaching the saddle valve, thoroughly ush the supply
tubing to clear the line. Otherwise, debris could block the water ow at the solenoid
valve.
5.3 IMPORTANT: To assist you with cleaning, note the proper orientation of
parts for assembly and disassembly (Figure 4, below).
5.4 Slide the hex nut over the copper tubing end. Slide the brass ferrule over the
tubing. Push the end of the tubing into the threaded tting and slide the hex nut up
to the tting. Tighten the nut.
5.5 Slide the bushing over the tubing; insert the bushing through the humidier
wall until it snaps into place.
5.6 Open the needle valve at the cold water pipe. IMPORTANT: Check all ttings
for leaks.
MOUNTING THE HUMIDISTAT:
6.0 NOTE: See the installation instructions packaged with the enclosed humidi-
stat (humidity controller).
6.1 NOTE: When wiring the unit to a system that has a multi-speed blower
motor, or that uses a motor other than 120 VAC, include the Skuttle A50 Interface
Relay in your installation. (See Figure 5, below.)
HUMIDIFIER CHECKOUT:
Check the humidifier operation by following these procedures:
7.0 Turn on the water valve to the humidifier.
7.1 Turn the humidistat to the “ON” position.
7.2 Set the furnace thermostat high enough to allow the furnace to come on.
When the furnace blower comes on, the humidifier should start spraying.
7.3 Check the humidifier operation by turning the humidistat off, making sure the
humidifier stops spraying. NOTE: If the humidifier continues spraying, there may
be an error in wiring. Review the wiring diagram, above.

TABLE 3
HOMEOWNER HUMIDIFIER TIPS:
9.0 If the mineral content of the water in your home is above normal, a lime
dust may form in the duct distribution system, as well as in your living areas. Even
though these lime deposits may adhere to the sides of your ductwork, they will not
signicantly affect air distribution.
9.1 In a home that has had little or no humidication, a new humidier may
operate almost continuously to attain the desired level of relative humidity. This is
because furniture, woodwork, carpeting, plaster and houseplants will absorb the
newly-produced humidity to reach normal moisture levels. This period of adjust-
ment will take approximately three weeks.
9.2 Natural drafts in the home can cause humidied air to escape through open
replace dampers. Make sure they are closed when not in use.
9.3 When the weather turns warmer, humidication is unnecessary. IMPORTANT:
Turn the water and electrical power to your humidier “OFF” after each
heating season.
9.4 When water frequently ows through your humidier, the nozzle and/or
solenoid valve can become clogged by lime and other mineral deposits, thereby
diminishing humidication effectiveness. When this occurs, you should replace the
affected part(s). NOTE: It’s a good idea to replace the spray nozzle at the start
of each heating season to help ensure continuous, trouble-free operation of your
humidier. (You may wish to have your heating or plumbing contractor perform this
service for you.)
9.5 The inline water lter should be cleaned at the end or beginning of each
heating season. To do so, loosen the hex nut (see Figure 4, left, top), slide the
tubing out of the tube connector and remove the lter. At this time, the solenoid
valve may be disassembled for cleaning.
9.6 IMPORTANT: For parts and service, contact your local authorized dealer.
CAUTION: If excessive moisture appears on windows or walls, reduce the humidity
setting on your humidistat enough to eliminate condensation. If the situation
continues, turn off the water valve that permits water ow to the humidier, and
contact your heating or plumbing contractor.
EXAMPLE OF NOZZLE SELECTION (from Table 2 on front): A home which
requires .50 gallons of water per hour for proper humidication, and which has a
water pressure of 80 psi (551.58 kPa), would need a .37 gph (1.40 lph) nozzle to
do the job.
FIGURE 5 (Wiring Diagram)
7.4 Set the furnace thermostat low enough to allow the furnace to shut off. The
humidifier should stop spraying either before or as the furnace blower shuts off.
NOTE: Again, if the humidifier continues spraying, there may be an error in wiring.
Consult the wiring diagram, above.
7.5 If the humidifier shuts off correctly, repeat steps 7.2 through 7.4 at least
five times. Each time, check to see that no water impinges on ductwork or any
part of the heating system NOTE: If water impingement or fallout could occur, you
must install a suitable drain pan, plumbed with an adequate runoff drain.
7.6 Set the furnace thermostat to the desired setting.
7.7 Finally, set the humidistat as recommended in Table 1 on the front of these
instructions.
