Connecting the Plumbing
1. Shut off the water.
CAUTION
Chemical Hazard.
Can cause personal injury or equipment
damage.
Do not use any line connected to an air
conditioner.
Do not use gas line.
2. First, connect 1/4-in. line to the humidifier's sole-
noid valve, located at the bottom of the humidifier.
a. Remove the compression nut.
b. Discard the brass ring, replacing it with the plas-
tic ring.
c. Install the brass insert into the end of the tubing.
d. Insert the tubing into the solenoid valve fitting
and support the valve while tightening the com-

NOTE: Do not over-tighten the compression nut. Moder-
ate tightness prevents leaking.
3. Use the saddle valve (included) to tap into the water
supply line at the location selected. See Fig. 8. If
tapping into galvanized pipe, drain line and pre-drill
3/17-in. tap for saddle valve.
NOTE: The saddle valve is not designed to regulate
water flow. The valve is either open or closed.
IMPORTANT
To prevent debris from clogging the solenoid in-
line filter, be sure to install the saddle valve han-
dle pointing toward the ceiling.
4. Use 1/4-in. (6mm) OD tubing and connect the sad-
dle valve to the inlet side of the solenoid valve on
the humidifier (See Fig. 9).
5. Repeat step 2, a - d for saddle valve fitting.
