Thanks for the help and the link...... Ray

Hi, I'm going to be installing a kitchen countertop along with a full backsplash (between upper and lower cabinets on new primed drywall). I will be using 6" x 6" porcelain tile. I would like some suggestions for thinset mortar that has high tackiness for the walls as well as the countertop. I...

Couldn't agree with you more.... Thanks, Ray

Hey guys, nice info, but................ Make a "new" post, this has nothing to do with my original post. Maybe others would be interested. Your info falling under "Humidifier Bypass Duct Placement Help Needed" has nothing to do with the subject line. Thanks, Ray

Humidifiers are best ran with hot water and/or on the supply side.

Hi, Actually, the lack of humidity is mainly a symptom of dry forced air from a heating system. A humidifier is a must not an option. Ray

Hi, I'm installing the Aprilaire 400A bypass humidifier on the supply side of my downflow forced air furnace without air conditioning. The main return duct is capped off measuring 14 x 20 x 4' 6" high directly over the furnace. The air filter is installed in the middle of the 4' 6" duct (2'...

Awesome...... I'll skip using the G and Gf terminals. As I stated earlier on, I only want the humidifier to run during the heat/fan cycle only. I assume that the W to W wiring is also not needed. Maintenance wise, yes I totally agree that it is important to keep on top of cleaning and changing...

Hi, Not to make things more complicated, but looking at the wiring diagram from Aprilaire pages 14 - 15 makes me a little confused with the wiring setup. The G, Gf and W connections especially. Do I need to follow any of those connections...
