Connect the furnace exhaust with the humidifier intake with a supply line. Set the humidifier on the opening, and use four self-tapping screws at the corners to secure the humidifier.

Power is being supplied to this outlet from the main breaker box in the home. I also have a one outlet box with switch on the right side of the furnace below where I plan to mount the humidifier.

I have the proper terminals on the hot and neutral side of the board of my furnace (Trane XL80) but the hot HUM terminal is already occupied. OK kids, just bought an HE360A and want to avoid using the sail switch.
