CONTRACTOR 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. 10-17.) NOTE: The Skuttle Steam Humidifier is not intended for installation in or on the return air duct or plenum. (Although some contractors may install the humidifier under return air ducts or on plenums without complications, it

Mounting the Humidifier Figure 1 - Duct Edge Mount Option A: Duct Edge Mount Option A is the preferred method of mounting because it requires the least amount of duct reinforcement to support the humidifier and keep it level. A duct width of at least 10 inches is necessary. Wider ducts may need to be reinforced in order to hold the humidifier level. DANGER: Wear safety glasses when cutting or drilling. Do not cut into any air conditioning or electrical accessories during installation. Electrocut

CONTRACTOR 3. Remove the template. 4. Cut two (2) pieces of S-Cleat 8" long and one (1) piece 10-1/2" long. 5. Place the 8" long S-Cleats on the narrow sides of the opening in the duct, with the slots protruding down and out. Place the 10-1/2" long S-Cleat on the longer side, closest to the center of the duct, in the same way as the shorter S-Cleats. 6. Attach the L-shaped bracket with six (6) holes to the top/front of the humidifier, so that the vertical wall is toward the reservoir. 7. Adjust

Option B: External Side Mount Figure 2 - External Side Mount Option B requires a transition to be made and usually needs duct reinforcement to hold the humidifier securely in place (see Figure 2). NOTE: For this configuration, the humidifier is mounted on the outside of the plenum, rather than the inside, so as not to restrict airflow. DANGER: Wear safety glasses when cutting or drilling. Do not cut into any air conditioning or electrical accessories during installation. Electrocution is possibl

Connecting to a Power Source When selecting a location for mounting the humidifier, make sure that electrical connections can be made without the use of an extension cord. CAUTION: The electrical receptacle must be rated at the correct voltage and amperage, or hazardous conditions could result. • Models 60-1 and F60-1 require a receptacle rated at 120 VAC, 15 amperes (NEMA configurations 5-15R). • Models 60-2 and F60-2 require a receptacle rated at 240 VAC, 15 amperes (NEMA configurations 6-15R)

CONTRACTOR Wiring the Air Mover Figure 5 - Wiring diagram for Model 60-1 and F60-1 (120 volt) Steam Humidifiers. Figure 6 - Wiring diagram for Model 60-2 and F60-2 (240 volt) Steam Humidifier. Due to the high-capacity design of Skuttle Steam Humidifiers, it is nec- essary that the furnace air mover be wired to function in cooperation with the humidifier’s operation (see Figures 7, 8A and 8B, pgs. 20 & 21). To achieve synchronization and prevent condensation inside the duct-work, Skuttle has inc

CAUTIONS: Be careful not to activate, deactivate or alter the normal functions of the home’s heating and cooling system, except to coordinate the systems’ air moving operation with the humidifier. If these precautions are not heeded, hazardous conditions could result, causing serious damage to the heating and cooling system, and to the home.
