Aprilaire 866 Humidifier, Whole House Steam w/Modulating Output & Fan Pack - 1.4 Gallon/Hr.
Description
The Aprilaire 866 is a whole house humidifier with modulating output and a fan pack. This modulating capability allows the unit to meet a tighter relative humidity control for a much more comfortable environment. This model is capable of humidification of up to 6,200 feet and has a maximum steam capacity of 34.6 gallons per day.
This Aprilaire humidifier provides humidity in the form of steam to conditioned space through the included fan pack. This fan pack includes a wall mounted discharge grill with a fan blower assembly and stainless steel dispersion chamber. This provides ductless humidification throughout the home.
This model generates steam by energizing electrodes that connect to water in a disposable canister. To modulate this steam output, a modulating control must be used. Proper water level in the canister is maintained through cooperating drain and fill valves. Adding humidity through steam is an efficient and effective way to solve dry air issues in the home. Air with improper humidity can damage respiratory health as well as the home's paint, furniture and electronics.
A ductless installation allows for whole house humidification in scenarios where intensive ductwork is not possible or preferable or when the ducts are not accessible. In addition, maintenance is also easy with no cleaning or scrubbing! All that is required is for the canister to be removed and replaced. Plus, water filtration is never required for the operation of this digital humidifier.
The Aprilaire 5558 is a wall mounted humidistat kit for this model. It allows for automatic control over this unit and comes with an outdoor temperature sensor.

- Back flow protection from air gap in the fill cap to prevent pressure build up
- Water level sensor manages the water level in the steam canister to prevent overfilling
- Unit automatically flushes and fills periodically to maintain the proper conductivity
- Unit uses cold inlet water to temper the canister water reducing the drain water temperature below 140°F to protect PVC piping and condensation pumps
