HE360 HUMIDIFIER AND INSTALLATION KIT
Determining Best Location for Humidifier
CAUTION
Temperature and Static Pressure Hazard.
Can cause property or equipment damage.
Locate humidifier where ambient temperature is between 32°F (0°C) and 160°F (71°C).
Do not install humidifier where freezing temperatures could occur.
Be sure supply plenum static pressure is no greater than 0.4 in. wc and water pressure is no greater than
124 psi.
• Select a location for the humidifier on the supply (warm air stream) plenum. See Fig. 1.
• Select a location that cannot damage the air conditioner A-coil during installation.
• Do not locate the humidifier on the furnace body.
• Allow adequate clearance in front of and above the humidifier so you can easily remove the cover to perform
routine maintenance.
—
Mount the humidifier at least 3 in. (78 mm) above the furnace body to allow adequate space for the sole-
noid valve and drain line.
—
Mount the humidifier in a conditioned space to prevent freezing.

Selecting Water Supply Location
• Use either hard or soft water in the humidifier and either hot or cold water. The water flow rate, with the
humidifier running, is 3.5 gal/hr (13 liters/hr) to flush the pad and provide moisture for evaporation.
• Make sure that the 20 ft (6.2m) of feed water tubing provided is adequate to connect the water supply (saddle
valve) with the humidifier solenoid valve.
