The Aprilaire® Model 865 Canister Steam Humidifier delivers humidity in the form of steam to the home without the use of ducting. The humidifier generates steam by energizing two electrodes that extend into a canister of water. Current flowing between the electrodes causes the water to boil, creating steam. Water is introduced to the humidifier through a fill valve to a fill cup located in the top of the cabinet. The fill cup serves as an overflow reservoir and provides an air gap between the humidifier and water source. The drain and fill valves work together to maintain water level in the canister to deliver the rated steam capacity based on the electrical conductivity of the water and to temper drain water.

The included fan kit must be installed in a wall that is selected for best dispersal to the whole home.  This single point will send humidity directly into the air in the home.
