11 | Installation
Location
Mount on a suitable wall or vertical surface. Do not sit the on the floor to allow clearances
required for plumbing and electrical connections.
Clearance dimensions shown are for reference only and are the minimum required for
maintenance of the humidifier. Consult local and national codes before final location and
installation. NORTEC does not accept responsibility for installation code violations.
Install only in areas with ambient temperature 41-104 °F (5 – 40 °C) relative humidity 5 -
95% (non condensing).
When possible install below the steam distributor. If mounted above the steam distributor
take care to provide proper steam line routing and proper condensate traps.
DO NOT locate the humidifier any further then absolutely necessary from the steam
distributor location as net output will be reduced as a result of heat loss through the steam
line.
When possible, mount the NHTC humidifier at a height convenient for servicing.
