Can this humidifier be installed on the horizontal? or must it be installed vertically to operate properly

It has a mesh evaporator filter inside. Water flows into the top of the filter, trickles down, and any water that is not evaporated by the airflow comes out a drain in the bottom of the unit. So, it needs to be installed upright, more or less exactly as pictured. It *can* be installed on horizontal or vertical airducts, just as long as the unit itself remains upright.

This humidifier works by evaporating water as it runs down a spongy panel. If the unit were horizontal, gravity wouldn't pull the water down along the panel and into the drain, so it seems pretty clear to me that it couldn't be used on the horizontal.

Yes. After installation you have an 8.5 inch ledge to set a pot or small humidifier on it.

I am not sure whether this is even a relevant question; But I am going to answer if it helps; I take the tank to my faucet in the bathroom open the faucet and fill the tank!! close the lid; turn it upside down place it in the humidifier assembly. really did not understand the relevance of the question; Hope I have answered

Well, I have the exact fan and I had it totally horizontal and the shutters did open. Now that was the unit I had, it was once and the unit was new. Add age, dirt, maybe a critter or two and it may not always work. I would guess that the CFM volume would go down in the horizontal position and as mentioned before, you would have to protect the unit from any moisture. There is no reference to staying vertical in the Fantech manual but I do believe it is implied that you would. If I were mounting it inside and horizontal, I would probably just remove the shutters, put some screen or chicken wire over it and run it that way. Good luck to you.

it depends..... if you are replacing an existing humidifier, then it is not that difficult if you are a handy person and the new humidifier fits in the same space as the existing one. However, if it is a new installation, then you have to make the water (both intake and discharge) and electrical connections in addition to physically installing the humidifier on the furnace. That will require the skill of a technician if you are not too handy. I replaced my old squirrel type humidifier with this type and did not have any problems, but I am very handy in house repairs.

I have mine on the left side of the toilet. I don't see why you couldn't mount it vertically but you would then have a vertical not a horizontal grab bat.

Yes! There are two screw mounting holes, it can be mounted horizontal or vertical.

No. The humidistat is "just a switch." Activated by humidity rather than your finger. So if you install it where the single switch is now, it will "work" but the light and fan will BOTH come on when the room steams up and go off when the air dries out. You would have to pull a second set of wires to switch the fan and light independently.

never tried mounting this way cant imagine why it would not work horizontally. Recommend SHURflo 94-591-01 Pump Silencing Kit. remarkable how much quieter system is.

It isn't a manufacturer-specific product, so while I can't say for sure, I do not see why it would be a problem. Most humidifiers are built fairly similarly.

It can be mounted vertical but towards the bottom. It works by heating the air, witch circulates it.

It is easiest to change the filter mounted vertically. However it functions perfectly either way Horizontally or vertical

It can be positioned vertical or horizontal..... It can be placed completely under water. Ours is placed horizontal more than half way down in the tank.It is a real space saver compared to other filters.

I don't have mine permanently mounted horizontally, but when I was building the box I ran it while horizontal and it didn't make any noise, change fan speed, etc.

No worries. The air blows from the bottom front vents (note picture), but they are not aimed down at the floor. Because my humidifier is set in a corner, I placed mine on a small step type foot stool to raise it about 6 inches. It works perfect to aim the air out into the bedroom between a nightstand and bedroom dresser.

I believe, Kristin C., that it needs to be installed vertically. To install it horizontally would mean the plungers that hit the cylinders to make the "ding-dong" sound would probablymisfunction because they would be going up and down instead of back and forth.

Hello Doug, Thank you for your question. The manual states the following: Unit MUST be hung vertically, with the water and gas connections at the bottom and the exhaust at the top. Kind Regards, Ross GadgetsGo P.S. If my answer helped you, please prefer us when you purchase.
