The unit ships complete with the MHX3C humidistat, pad 7002, and model 990-13 components, making it a full-system solution for whole-home humidity control. Licensed HVAC technicians install this type of humidifier inline with the supply or return plenum, where conditioned air passes through an evaporator pad to absorb moisture before distribution. The included humidistat provides automatic humidity sensing and control, eliminating the need to source a separate control device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5144 is the Legacy 1042-LH model, suited for residential forced-air systems where maintaining indoor relative humidity is required during heating season. Typical installations occur on gas, oil, or electric furnace systems with a dedicated water supply line. The included pad 7002 is the evaporator media that carries the moisture load and will require periodic replacement as part of routine seasonal maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e17 GPD evaporative output for whole-home humidity coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes MHX3C humidistat for automatic humidity sensing and control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips with evaporator pad 7002 and 990-13 components — ready for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLegacy 1042-LH series construction for bypass evaporative operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with forced-air systems using gas, oil, or electric heat sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation humidifier for residential forced-air HVAC systems.
