CAUTION: Plumbing
•Plumbing to be performed by a licensed plumber.
•Drain water from humidifier can be very hot. Do not drain to public sink.
•All plumbing work should be done according to local plumbing code.
CAUTION: Installation
•Do not mount on hot surfaces.
•Do not mount in area where freezing can occur.
•Do not mount on vibrating surface.
•Do not mount on floor.
•The Nortec RH2 produces steam at atmospheric pressure no devices which could
block steam output should be connected to the steam outlet.
•Steam lines must be installed so that no restriction can produce backpressure in
the humidifier.
•
CAUTION: Servicing
•Disconnect main power before any servicing.
•During and following operation of the humidifier, the steam and components in
contact with the steam such as the blower pack, steam lines, steam distributors,
and condensate lines can become hot and can burn if touched.

Introduction

claims are to be made to the shipping company.
Location of Humidifier’s Manifold in an Air Conditioning System
Although Nortec SAM-e distribution systems are designed to provide drip-less humidification, several
operating factors related to steam supply may result in excess moisture or water collecting in steam-tube
pipe with the potential for water damage. To ensure protection against water damage, best practice
includes either a sealed section of duct or, preferably a drip-pan with drain installed underneath each
unit. In addition, to facilitate maintenance checks and inspections, an inspection cover, inspection glass
or service opening should be installed downstream.
For more information, see Nortec SAM-e Engineering Manual [1503529-X].
Notes
Absorption distance: the distance between the Nortec SAM-e and the first obstruction (coil, elbow,
damper, etc.) that steam may encounter. Traces of steam may pass the obstruction, but will not
condense, leaving obstructions dry. If any of the duct or air-handling unit (AHU) conditions are changed
between design and installation, calculated absorption distance may change. It is advisable to re-
calculate absorption distance to ensure that Nortec SAM-e operates as intended. If changes are
required, please contact factory for assistance.
