VAPORSTREAM INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
INSTALLATION
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 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 DriSteem warranty.

If run is over 10' (3 m), increase pipe to 1¼" (DN32)
Flow line of drain piping after water seal must
be below drain valve to ensure humidifier
drains correctly.
