run is over 10'
(3 m) increase pipe
to 1¼" (DN32)
after P-trap.

First 3' (1 m) of
water supply line is
recommended to be
stainless steel tubing with
a 2" (50 mm) water seal
or loop in the supply line
to isolate steam from
nonmetallic supply piping.
2" (50 mm)
12" (300 mm)
Notes:
• Locate air gap only in spaces with adequate temperature and air movement to absorb flash steam; otherwise, condensation may form on nearby surfaces.
Refer to governing codes for drain pipe size and maximum discharge water temperature.
• Offset humidifier from spill funnel or floor drain to prevent flash steam from rising into the cabinet.
• Dashed lines indicate provided by installer.
• The water supply inlet is more than 1" (25 mm) above the overflow port, eliminating the possibility of backflow or siphoning from the tank. No additional
backflow prevention is required; however, governing codes prevail.
• Install a union in the water supply and drain lines as shown to allow tank removal.
• Damage caused by chloride corrosion is not covered by our DRI-STEEM warranty.
• See the previous page for recommended piping for Vapormist standard water models.
• See the dispersion section of this manual for more information about piping that connects the humidifier to the dispersion assembly.
Open drain required. See
first note below.
