Selecting a Location

1. For most installations, mount the humidifier under the horizontal warm air

supply duct. As an alternative, the unit can be mounted on a vertical

plenum using a fabricated transition for support. (See “Mounting the

Humidifier”, pgs. 8-10.)

NOTE

: Ideally, the Skuttle Steam Humidifier is not intended for installa-

tion in or on the return air duct or plenum. However, some contractors do

so without complications. If you choose to install a Skuttle Model 60

Humidifier under a return air duct or on a return air plenum, be aware

that moisture MUST be absorbed BEFORE entering the filter, blower,

turn or transition. Therefore, INSTALL THE HUMIDIFIER AT LEAST

4-TO-6 FEET PRIOR TO THESE DEVICES AND CONFIGURATIONS.

2. Select a location where the humidifier can be plugged in without the use

of an extension cord. (See separate manual, “Wiring Instructions for High-

Capacity Steam Humidifiers”.)

3. Select a location that will not allow steam to condense on the system air

mover, electrical components, etc.

4. Mount the unit on rigid metal ductwork, never on duct board or internally-

insulated duct.
