CAUTION
1. Water heating system can be damaged if watersupply remains off.
2. After humidifier installation is completed, turn hotwater supply back on.
3. Water heating system must be de-energized if themain water supply remains shut off.
4. Do not set humidity level above recommended or torecommended level if condensation exists on insidewindows of any unheated space, as condensationdamage may result. Excess humidity can causemoisture accumulation which can allow thepossibility for mold growth in your home.
5. Do not install humidifier in location where freezingtemperatures may occur. The water line could freezeand crack causing water damage to the home.
6. Do not install humidifier or bypass connectionon furnace cabinet.
7. Do not install humidifier or bypass connectionon blanked off end of cooling coil whereairflow will be restricted.
8. Do not connect the transformer to blowermotor wiring. Premature component failuremay result.
9. Do not install humidifier where waterpressures exceed 125 psi, since humidifierdamage may result. Follow codes in effectconcerning pressure reduction.
10. Do not install humidifier on systems withgreater than 0.4 in. wg pressure differentialbetween supply and return plenums.

READ COMPLETE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND INSTALLATION TEMPLATE BEFORE STARTING
This product must be installed by a qualified heating and air conditioning contractor. Failure to do so could result in serious injury from electrical shock.This product must be installed in compliance with all local, state and federal codes.
ATTENTION INSTALLER:
The humidifier can be installed on either thesupply or return plenum of a forced air handlingsystem and is easily reversible for installation
with right hand or left hand bypass ductconnections. The humidifier dimensions and
serviceability must be considered when selectingthe best location for the humidifier. Here are2 examples of many types of installations.

IMPORTANT! Be sure owner’s manual containing
instructions for operation and warranty information is given to
owner in order to avoid unnecessary calls.Warranty is void unless
humidifier is installed by qualified heating and air conditioning
contractor due to possible misapplication of product.
1. Remove front cover bypressing center tabs on top andbottom of the cover (1) and base(2). Pull feed tube (3) out of thewater distribution tray (4). Tip theevaporative assembly forwardand lift it out of the humidifier.(See Figure 1)2. The humidifier comesassembled for left sidedischarge. If converting to rightside discharge, the base can berotated so round collar is facingto the right. Swap the location ofthe hole plug (10) and drain spud(9) if using a right side discharge.To remove the cap, push andtwist from inside the housingwhile lifting the cap up slightly onthe outside. To remove the drainspud, twist and push from theoutside of the base.3. Using a level, position thistemplate at least 3 inches abovethe furnace housing or coolingcoil, if applicable, for clearanceof the drain line. Trace aroundtemplate edges. Remove thetemplate and accurately cut theplenum opening 91⁄2” x 91⁄2”,being careful to avoid injuryfrom sharp edges.4. Place the humidifier into theplenum opening, install six sheetmetal mounting screws (notfurnished) at the top and sides ofthe humidifier interior.5. Install a 6”collar in aconvenient location on theopposite plenum. Attach a 90°elbow and measure the length of6” round duct required to makethe connection. The design of thehumidifier collar provides a solidconnection with the bypass ductthrough the use of inside supportribs and pre-formed holes forsheet metal screws. Slip the ductinside the collar of the humidifier,up to the support ribs. Using thepre-formed holes at the top andbottom of the humidifier collar,secure the duct to the humidifiercollar with two sheet metalmounting screws (not furnished).Support bypass ducts longerthan 4 feet to prevent sagging.Seal duct seams and humidifierbase with foil tape or mastic.
6. Reinstall the evaporativeassembly back into the base,with the bottom of the scalecontrol insert (6) sitting firmlyin the inside of the drain spud(9). Snap into place. Ifevaporative assembly doesnot snap into place, reversethe assembly. Push the feedtube back into the waterdistribution tray. (See Figure 2)Put the front cover back on. Ifthe nameplate (11) is upsidedown, remove it and rotate thenameplate so it is right sideup, and snap back into place.Turn damper handle (8) to theopen position “WINTER” forthe heating season, or closedposition “SUMMER” for thecooling season.7. Locate and install the ManualHumidifier Control by followingthe instructions shown in step#7A. For Automatic HumidifierControl installation instructions,see Publication No. 504,879Mincluded with the AutomaticControl. DISCONNECTELECTRICAL POWER TOFURNACE BEFOREPROCEEDING!
LOCATION1. Locate on inside wall of livingarea approximately 5 feet abovefloor, or in the furnace return airplenum. If humidifier is mountedon return duct, HumidifierControl must be at least 6”upstream of humidifier.
2. Do not locate Control in thedirect path of furnacedischarge air or drafts fromopen doors and windows.
3. Do not install where operationmight be affected by lamps,sunlight, fireplace registers,radiators, concealed air ductsand pipes, or next to activitiesthat generate moisture.
4. The basic rules for location ofthermostats also apply tohumidifier controls.
8. The humidifier solenoid valve andHumidifier Control operate on 24 VAC.In order for the humidifier to turn on,the furnace blower must be operatingand the Humidifier Control must becalling for humidity. See HumidifierControl manuals for Control wiring.Do not wire transformer into furnaceblower circuit. The transformer can bepowered from the 120 VAC line before itenters the furnace.9. Tap into a water supply line with thesaddle valve furnished. See instructionson saddle valve package. Thehumidifier will function with cold, hot,softened or unsoftened water.WARNING: RISK OF SCALDING. Watertemperature over 125°F can causesevere burns and scalding instantly.Shut off the hot water supply beforedisconnecting or tapping into any hotwater supply line. The use of servicehot water (140°F MAX.) and constantblower operation will provide maximumevaporative capacity.When installinghumidifier on heat pump system,humidifier must be supplied withservice hot water. When installinghumidifier on return plenum, it isrecommended that the humidifier issupplied with hot water.NOTE: The saddle valve is designed tobe fully opened or closed. Do not use itto regulate water flow.10. Connect tubing from the saddlevalve to the inlet side of the solenoidvalve using 1⁄4” O.D. copper tubing (notfurnished). DOUBLE WRENCH ASSHOWN IN FIGURE 3 TO PREVENTDAMAGE TO VALVE BRACKET ANDENSURE WATERTIGHT CONNECTION.
NOTE: BEFORE LEAVING THEJOB SITE, MAKE SURE:
1. Saddle valve is fully open.
2. There are no plumbing leaks.
3. Humidifier functions properly.
4. Bypass damper is in properposition.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS1. Do not attempt to repair orrecalibrate Humidifier Control.Humidifier Controls requiringservice should be returned toyour Lennox dealer.
2. Use humidifier control in lowvoltage (24 VAC) applicationsonly. Install 24 VAC wiring tohumidifier control as shown inWiring Diagrams, opposite side.
3. Make sure no bare wires areexposed or insulation damaged.Insulation on wire should extendto head of binding screws.
4. Make sure all splices aremechanically and electricallysecure.
5. To remove dirt or other foreignmatter from nylon ribbon andcontrol interior, dust lightly witha fine, soft brush.

7A. MANUAL HUMIDIFIER CONTROL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSFOR HCWB3-12 & HCWB3-12K: The enclosed Manual Humidifier Controlis designed for low voltage service to control humidification equipment.An increase in relative humidity expands the nylon ribbon which opensthe control switch to stop operation on the humidifier. A decrease inrelative humidity reverses the process and closes the control switch.(For detailed Manual Humidifier Control installation and wiringinstructions, see Publication No. 506407−01 included with Control.)
