Humidifier Water Line Hook Up

That needs to stay removable.

Humidifier water line hook up. I know in many states the use of a saddle valve is now against code. Remove the cover and water pad from the humidifier and place the casing into the cutout on the duct. I noticed the water line for the humidifier taps a hot water and not a cold line. A flexible copper water line runs between the valve and the humidifier.

Which can add up one estimate i ve seen is that a average flow through humidifier discharges between 5 000 and 8 000 gallons 668 and 1069 cubic feet of water annually assuming a 17 week heating system with a call for heat 50 of the time in the city where i live evanston il which charges 5 46 100 cu ft that translates to 36 and 58 a. That little nub cap on the valve is a drain port for draining the water out of the line when servicing it. They are an easy and unreliable way to connect a humidifier to a supply line. All humidifiers require a connection to an existing cold water line.

I needed to replace the crumbling humidifier pad on the aprilaire unit bolted to our new ng furnace. Using 1 long sheet metal screws mount the casing to the duct by running screws through the provided holes in the casing. This aprilaire unit requires 6 screws. Humidifier water tap water is provided by tapping into an existing cold water supply line close to the humidifier often with a device known as a saddle valve.
