WELCOME

To the comfortable world of humidified air. When you use your Honeywell humidifier,

notice that your skin is not as dry, and that your scratchy throat and irritated nasal

passages that aggravate allergies and asthma are steadily improving.

You have also taken the first step in reducing the zapping you create when you walk on

your carpet and then touch your TV, computer, metal door knob or your pet. Your

furniture and woodwork are also benefitting from the difference that humidified air

makes.

Congratulations! You have just made a great investment in improving the comfort of

your home.

Determining Best Location for Humidifier

CAUTION

Temperature and Static Pressure Hazard.

Can cause property or equipment damage.

Locate humidifier where ambient temperature is between 32°F (0°C) and

160°F (71°C).

Do not install humidifier where freezing temperatures could occur.

Be sure supply plenum static pressure is no greater than 0.4 in. wc and water

pressure is no greater than 124 psi.

• Select a location for the humidifier on the supply (warm air stream) plenum. See

Fig. 1.

• Select a location that cannot damage the air conditioner A-coil during installation.

• Do not locate the humidifier on the furnace body.

• Allow adequate clearance in front of and above the humidifier so you can easily

remove the cover to perform routine maintenance.

— Mount the humidifier at least 3 in. (78 mm) above the furnace body to allow

adequate space for the solenoid valve and drain line.

— Mount the humidifier in a conditioned space to prevent freezing.

Fig. 1. Typical humidifier installation locations.

Selecting Water Supply Location

• Use either hard or soft water in the humidifier and either hot or cold water. The

water flow rate, with the humidifier running, is 3.5 gal/hr (13 liters/hr) to flush the

pad and provide moisture for evaporation.

• Make sure that the 20 ft (6.2m) of feed water tubing provided is adequate to

connect the water supply (saddle valve) with the humidifier solenoid valve.

Locating Closest Floor Drain

• Select location with access to a floor drain to provide drainage for air conditioner

condensation and humidifier drainage.

• If you do not have a drain available, we recommend that you install the Honeywell

Whole House Drum or Disk Humidifier. Make sure that the 10 ft (3.1m) of drain

tubing is adequate to reach from the humidifier drain connection to the floor drain.

Selecting Location for Humidistat

• Select a location for the humidistat on the return plenum or on the wall in the living

space.

— Mounting on the return plenum is the easiest installation for the control wiring

circuit.

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.)

Fig. 2. Selecting duct location for humidistat.

Locating Closest 120V Electrical Outlet

• Select location with access to an outlet. If not available, contact an electrician to

have one installed.

• Make sure that the humidifier cord is adequate to reach from the humidifier to the

outlet.

• Make sure that the 20 ft (6.2m) of thermostat wire is adequate to reach from the

humidifier solenoid, to the pressure switch, to the humidistat.

Installing the Humidifier

WARNING

Hazardous Voltage

Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.

Do not cut or drill into any air conditioning or electrical accessory.

CAUTION

Sharp Edges Installation Hazard.

Can cause personal injury.

Wear gloves and safety glasses.

1. Turn off power to the air handing system at the circuit breaker.

2. Draw a level line on the plenum in the location

chosen for the humidifier. (Leveling assures optimal humidifier performance.)

3. Locate the template (form number 69-2640 included in the box). For the

HE220 model, cut out the template along the dotted line.

4. Tape the template in position and trace around the template.

5. Remove the template and carefully cut the rectangular opening.

6. Disassemble the humidifier; remove the cover and take out the humidifier pad

assembly. See Fig. 3.

7. Make sure the humidifier housing is

level, then position it in the opening

so the plastic tabs are in place on the

lower sheet metal edge of the open-

ing. Use pliers, as necessary, to flat-

ten cut edges. See Fig. 4.

8. Secure the humidifier housing to the

opening at the top and bottom using

sheet metal screws.

9. Use the 6 in. (155 mm) starter collar

as a template to mark the opening for

the bypass.

Fig. 4. Installing humidifier on duct.

10. Carefully cut the opening for a 6 in. (155 mm) starter collar. See Fig. 5. Use a

drill, punch or awl to start the cut in the middle of the circle. Cut in an outward

spiral to assist in controlling the cut.

11. Assemble the summer shutoff

damper into the starter collar.

Verify that the damper rotates

freely between the open and

closed positions. Make sure the

handle is accessible. Mark the

damper Closed position as Sum-

mer and the Open position as

Winter. See Fig. 6.

12. Remove liner to expose foam

adhesive. Position starter collar

over opening.

13. Slide one end of the flexible duct-

ing over the starter collar and

secure with one of the connecting

straps.

Fig. 6. Installing the starter collar.

14. Insert the plain collar

into the humidifier port

and secure with sheet

metal screws. Con-

nect the flexible duct-

ing over the collar and

secure with a con-

necting strap. See

Fig. 7.

15. Seal the duct connec-

tions with duct tape

(not included).

16. Reinstall the humidi-

fier pad assembly in

the humidifier hous-

ing.

17. Hinge the cover in

place and secure with

the thumbscrew

located at the bottom

of the cover.

Connecting the Plumbing

Use hot or cold water and either hard or softened water in the humidifier.

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. Use the self-piercing 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 handle pointing toward the ceiling.

3. Use 1/4 in. (6 mm) OD tub-

ing and connect the saddle

valve to the inlet side of the

solenoid valve on the

humidifier (see Fig. 9).

a. Place the brass com-

pression nut over the

tubing.

b. Install brass insert into

end of tubing.

c. Slide the plastic com-

pression ring over the

tubing. (Discard copper

compression ring pro-

vided with valve.)

Fig. 9. Installing feed tubing.

NOTE: To prevent leaking, use plastic (Delrin) sleeve rings with plastic tubing. Use

copper sleeve rings only with copper tubing.

d. Insert the tubing into the solenoid valve fitting and support the valve while

tightening the compression nut.

NOTE: Do not over-tighten the compression nut. Moderate tightness prevents leak-

ing.

e. Repeat steps a. through d. for solenoid valve fitting.

f. Secure tubing with clamps provided.

4. Connect a 1/2 in. (13 mm) drain tube

to the humidifier drain fitting and run

to the floor drain (see Fig. 10).

a. Slide the drain clamp over the

tubing.

b. Push the tubing over the drain

nipple on the humidifier.

c. Hand-tighten the clamp around

the tubing to secure the humidi-

fier drain.

d. Fasten the drain tubing (can use

duct tape) along the route to pre-

vent movement and ensure

downward slope for correct drain-

age.

NOTE: Cut tubing to correct length so the

tubing terminates at the drain.
