This service bulletin describes the steps that may be necessary to replace your existing Model  
ESU14 or ESU20 Steam Humidifier, with the new Model S2000 or S2020 Power Steam  
Humidifier. The new “S” models have been redesigned and improved. There are some differences  
which must be taken into account when installing this unit or replacing an older model.  
1.MOUNTING - First and most important is the mounting of the new humidifier. The new  
model has a larger reservoir but measures the same width and height as the old “ESU”. The  
reservoir protrudes deeper into the duct and occupies more space inside the duct. The new  
“Under Duct Mounting Flange” is an integral part of the reservoir. As a result, the modification  
to perform when mounting the new S2000 or S2020, is to snip and lengthen the flange dimension  
on your existing reservoir cutout opening in the warm air supply plenum.

With this modification done, you should be able to insert the new humidifier into the cutout  
opening and secure the unit with the 8 self tapping screws provided. The hole dimensions on  
the front plate have not changed and should match up. If necessary, locally reinforce the opening  
with sheet metal sleeves to insure that the unit will remain level and not sag with the added  
weight of the water.  
A 2nd template is included with the “S” series humidifiers for mounting the unit under the duct  
on the return or cold air side of the furnace. Note that there is no need to order an under the duct  
mounting kit, due to the new integrated mounting flange.

3.DRAINS - It is still necessary to run an overflow drain line from the humidifier to a suitable  
drain. Now, it is also required to run an additional drain line from the new automatic drain valve  
to a suitable drain.  
The new “S” series humidifiers have an automatic drain valve which will drain the tank every 12  
hours, to minimize chemical buildup inside the tank. The water is allowed to cool down to 140  
degrees F. before the water is drained out.  
The humidifier drains by gravity only, so it must be mounted at a sufficient height to allow for  
proper drainage. DO NOT route the drain hoses above the level of the humidifier, and watch for  
kinks or cuts in the hoses.  
If you have a basement installation and require draining into a condensate pump, we recommend  
a Beckett Model # CU451ULHT or CU551ULHT. These pumps are rated for high temperature  
water and have built in check valves.  
4.WATER - The frequency which the water fill solenoid on the new steam unit will activate can  
exceed the older model. This more frequent filling of the tank may be noticeable in the form of  
water hammer noise or spikes in the water line. Install an optional water hammer arrester  
#WH-100, and the noise will dissipate.  
If this Engineering notice does not cover a question or issue that you have encountered during  
your installation or replacement project, please contact the Technical Support Hotline @
