Anden 5940 Remote Mount Kit for AS150

The Anden Model 5940 Remote Mount Kit is an OEM accessory for the Anden AS150 High-Capacity Steam Humidifier with Vapor-logic. It provides the steam hose, condensate tubing, and hose clamps required when the AS150 fan pack cannot be mounted directly on top of the humidifier — for example, when overhead clearance is limited or equipment layout requires the fan pack to be positioned at a distance from the humidifier body. The kit ships ready to install and includes all connection hardware.

Why Choose the Anden 5940 Remote Mount Kit

The AS150 is a high-capacity commercial steam humidifier designed for large grow facilities that require precise, continuous humidity delivery. In most default installations, the fan pack mounts directly on top of the humidifier. However, many real-world facilities cannot accommodate that configuration — ductwork, piping, structural members, or limited ceiling clearance can all make direct top-mounting impractical or impossible.

The Model 5940 kit solves this by providing the connection hardware that allows the fan pack to be located remotely, at a distance of up to six feet from the humidifier body. Because it is an OEM accessory made by Anden specifically for the AS150, every component is sized and rated for the steam pressures and condensate flow rates that the AS150 produces. Using third-party hose or tubing of uncertain pressure rating introduces leak risk at the steam outlet — the 5940 kit removes that variable.

The condensate tubing included in the kit (13 feet of ¼-inch tubing) is long enough to route condensate from the remotely positioned fan pack to a floor drain or condensate collection point without requiring additional fittings. Both hose clamps ship with the kit, so no separate hardware sourcing is required before installation.

• OEM fitment: Steam hose and condensate tubing are sized to AS150 outlet and drain fittings — no adapters required.
• Flexible fan pack positioning: 6-foot steam hose allows the fan pack to be positioned up to six feet from the humidifier when direct top-mounting is not possible.
• Complete hardware kit: Both hose clamps (1½-inch and ½-inch) are included — no separate hardware procurement needed.
• Extended condensate routing: 13 feet of ¼-inch condensate tubing provides enough reach to route drainage away from the fan pack location to a suitable drain point.
• Maintained system performance: Using the correct OEM hose diameter and length preserves the AS150’s designed steam delivery efficiency; undersized or over-length hoses can reduce output or increase condensation in the line.

Best Uses for the Anden 5940 Remote Mount Kit

This kit is a targeted accessory, not a general-purpose humidifier component. It is the correct purchase when all three conditions apply: (1) you own or are purchasing an Anden AS150 humidifier, (2) you need the fan pack positioned away from the humidifier body, and (3) you do not already have OEM remote-mount hardware.

• Large indoor grow facilities with low overhead clearance: Grow rooms that have HVAC ducts, lighting rails, or structural beams running at low heights often cannot accommodate the full vertical footprint of the AS150 with a top-mounted fan pack. Routing the fan pack to a side wall or overhead mount via the 5940 kit keeps the humidifier at a practical service height while moving the fan pack out of the occupied zone.
• Equipment rooms with separated service zones: Commercial facilities that segregate humidifier equipment from plant canopy zones can use this kit to place the AS150 body in a mechanical room while routing the steam distribution fan pack into the grow area through a wall penetration or duct chase.
• Replacement of worn or damaged OEM hose assemblies: Facilities that already run a remote-mount configuration can use the 5940 kit to replace aging steam hose or condensate tubing without sourcing individual components. The kit provides both runs at once and ensures dimensional compatibility.
• New AS150 installations with constrained layout: When planning a new AS150 installation in a space where layout flexibility is needed, ordering the 5940 kit alongside the humidifier avoids a separate hardware order and installation delay. Pair it with a suitable condensate pump if the fan pack location does not allow gravity drain of the ¼-inch condensate line.
• Multi-zone steam distribution planning: In facilities where airflow management includes dedicated circulation fans — such as an Active Air HD pedestal fan positioned to move steam across the canopy — the remote-mount kit gives operators more flexibility to orient the AS150 fan pack toward the circulation path rather than being fixed directly above the humidifier body.

Compatibility

The Model 5940 kit is designed exclusively for the Anden AS150 High-Capacity Steam Humidifier with Vapor-logic. It is not a universal steam humidifier accessory and should not be used with other Anden humidifier models or with humidifiers from other manufacturers without confirming that steam outlet diameter, steam pressure, and condensate drain diameter are compatible.

Within the AS150 system, the 5940 kit replaces the direct-mount connection between the humidifier body and the fan pack. The steam hose connects the humidifier’s 1½-inch steam outlet to the fan pack inlet; the condensate tubing connects the fan pack condensate drain back to the humidifier or to an external drain. No additional adapters or reducers are required when using this kit with the AS150.

If the remotely mounted fan pack drains condensate to a location without gravity access to a floor drain, a dedicated condensate pump will be required downstream of the ¼-inch condensate tubing. A condensate pump rated for the expected condensate volume should be selected based on the AS150’s operating steam output at your target humidity setpoint.

The kit is not compatible with the following Anden configurations:

• Anden AS150 installations where the fan pack is already mounted directly on top of the humidifier (standard top-mount configuration does not require hose runs)
• Anden humidifier models other than the AS150
• Non-Anden commercial steam humidifiers (steam outlet sizes and pressures differ by manufacturer)

Usage Guidelines

The 5940 kit serves as a mechanical connection assembly. Its function is to carry live steam from the AS150 humidifier to the remotely located fan pack, and to return condensate from the fan pack to a drain point. There are no electrical connections in this kit and no controls or sensors to configure.

Steam hose routing: The 6-foot steam hose should be routed with a continuous rise from the humidifier steam outlet toward the fan pack inlet, avoiding dips or low spots where condensate can pool. Pooled condensate reduces effective steam flow and can cause water hammer or intermittent steam delivery. Where the routing path requires a horizontal or descending run, insulating the hose helps minimize in-line condensation.

Condensate tubing routing: The 13-foot condensate tubing should be routed with a continuous fall from the fan pack condensate outlet toward the drain or condensate pump inlet. If the tubing must travel upward at any point before reaching the drain, a condensate pump is required at the low point. Do not allow the condensate tubing to pool or trap; blocked condensate can back up into the fan pack.

Hose clamp torque: The 1½-inch clamp secures the steam hose at the humidifier steam outlet and at the fan pack inlet. The ½-inch clamp secures the condensate tubing. Tighten hose clamps to hand-tight plus approximately one-quarter turn with a screwdriver — over-tightening can deform the hose and create leak paths rather than prevent them.

Maximum remote distance: The 5940 kit includes 6 feet of steam hose. This defines the maximum fan pack offset distance from the humidifier body when using this kit. If your layout requires greater separation, consult Anden before extending with additional hose; longer runs increase condensation losses and may affect system performance.

How to Install the Anden 5940 Remote Mount Kit

These steps describe the general installation sequence for the 5940 kit on an AS150. Always refer to the Anden AS150 installation manual and any applicable local codes for mechanical and plumbing work. Steam humidifier installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC or mechanical contractor.

1. Power down the AS150. Turn off the humidifier and disconnect it from electrical power before beginning any work. Allow the unit to cool completely if it has been operating.
2. Determine fan pack mounting location. Select the remote mounting position for the fan pack. The location must be within 6 feet of the AS150 steam outlet via the available routing path, and condensate from the fan pack must have a drainage path (gravity or pump) from that location.
3. Mount the fan pack at the remote location. Secure the fan pack using appropriate hardware for your ceiling, wall, or structural surface. Confirm the fan pack is level and accessible for service.
4. Route the steam hose. Connect one end of the 6-foot, 1½-inch steam hose to the AS150 steam outlet. Route the hose to the fan pack inlet, maintaining a continuous upward slope where possible. Trim excess hose length only if necessary, and retain the cut end in case routing changes later.
5. Secure steam hose with the 1½-inch hose clamp. Slide the 1½-inch clamp onto the hose before connecting it to the fitting. Push the hose fully onto each fitting barb and tighten the clamp. Repeat at both the humidifier end and the fan pack end if two clamps are required (a second clamp would need to be sourced separately if the kit’s single 1½-inch clamp is used at one end only).
6. Route the condensate tubing. Connect the ¼-inch condensate tubing to the fan pack condensate drain outlet. Route the tubing with a continuous downward slope toward the drain or condensate pump. Secure with the ½-inch hose clamp.
7. Verify drain path. Confirm the condensate tubing terminates at a floor drain, hub drain, or appropriately sized condensate pump inlet. Do not leave the condensate line open-ended in a location where discharge would cause damage.
8. Restore power and test. Reconnect electrical power to the AS150 and power it on. Allow the humidifier to run through a full steam cycle. Inspect all hose connections and the condensate tubing for leaks. Check that condensate is flowing freely to the drain. Verify steam is exiting the fan pack at the remote location.
