Figure 22-1 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 floor drain to prevent flash steam from rising into the humidifier.
• 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.
• Damage caused by chloride corrosion is not covered by your DRI-STEEM warranty.
• See the next page for recommended water supply piping for Model VLDI (DI/RO water model).

Water supply line; water pressure range 25 psi to 80 psi (172 kPa to
552 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 with a 2"
(50 mm) water seal or loop in the supply line to isolate steam from
nonmetallic supply piping.
