Level. 69- 1571 HE120, HE160 HUMIDIFIER INSTALLATION KIT Determining Best Location for Humidifier For return duct mounting, the humidistat should be mounted upstream from the humidifier or bypass so that it is properly sensing the relative humidity of the living space. Locate the control at least 8 in. (203 mm) upstream from the humidifier in the return air duct. (See Fig 2.) • Select a location for the humidifier on the supply (warm air stream) or the return plenum. See Fig. 1. • Select a location for the bypass on the opposite plenum. The humidifier is designed to allow bypass duct mounting on either side of the humidifier. • Select a location that cannot damage the air conditioner A-coil during installation. • Select a location where the 6 ft (1.86m) of 6 in. (155 mm) duct provided is adequate to connect the humidifier to the bypass. — Do not locate the humidifier or bypass on a furnace body. — Allow adequate clearance in front of and above the humidifier so you can easily remove the cover to perform routine maintenance. — Mount humidifier at least 3 in. (78 mm) above the furnace body to allow adequate space for the drain or overflow line. — Mount humidifier in a conditioned space to prevent freezing. ALTERNATE LOCATION RETURN AIR 6 in.
