Selecting a Location

For most installations, mount the humidier under the horizontal warm air 1.

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

using a fabricated transition for support. (See “Mounting the Humidier”,

pgs. 8-10.)

NOTE: Ideally, the Skuttle Steam Humidier is not intended for installation

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 Hu-

midier under a return air duct or on a return air plenum, be aware that

moisture MUST be absorbed BEFORE entering the lter, blower, turn

or transition. Therefore, INSTALL THE HUMIDIFIER AT LEAST 4-TO-6

FEET PRIOR TO THESE DEVICES AND CONFIGURATIONS.

Select a location where the humidier can be plugged in without the use 2.

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

Capacity Steam Humidiers”.)

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