Water supply line; water pressure must be
between 25 psi and 80 psi (175 kPa and
550 kPa); water conductivity minimum
100 µS/cm. If water piping to humidifier is
nonmetallic, we recommend that the first
3' (1 m) of water supply piping from the
humidifier be metallic
Steam vapor hose (maximum
run 10' [3 m]). May also use pipe
or tubing. See the DRI-STEEM
Design Guide for maximum pipe
or tubing lengths.
Two keyholes for wall
mounting, 16" (406 mm)
on center
Unions by installer
Water supply line
Shock arrester

reduce water hammer
¾" pipe thread
(DN20) tank drain,
skimmer and P-trap
piping, rated for
212 °F (100 °C). If
piping run is over
10' (3 m) increase
pipe to 1¼" (DN32)
after P-trap.
1" (25 mm) air gap
Spill funnel. Plumb
to floor drain.
Open drain required. See
first note below.

DC-1136
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 skim/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 your DRI-STEEM warranty.
• See the next page for recommended piping for Vapormist-DI models (models that use DI/RO water).
• See the dispersion section of this manual for more information about piping that connects the humidifier to the dispersion assembly.
2" (50 mm)
12" (300 mm)
2" (50 mm) water seal or loop
in the supply line to isolate
steam from nonmetallic supply
