Lennox X2661 Humidifier Pad
The Lennox X2661 Humidifier Pad (Model WP2-18-1) is a critical maintenance component designed for high-efficiency moisture transfer in compatible Lennox power and bypass humidification systems. Also identified by part number X266101, this replacement evaporator pad features a honeycomb filtration media coated with a specialized clay surface. This hydrophilic treatment ensures uniform water distribution across the water panel, maximizing the evaporative surface area to prevent dry air issues in residential or light commercial applications. For technicians servicing WB2-17, WB2-18, or WP2-18 units, maintaining the evaporative humidifier filter is essential for protecting the HVAC system from mineral scale buildup and ensuring the solenoid valve delivers the correct flow rate. Replacing the Lennox X266101 water panel annually preserves the humidifier performance and prevents stagnant water accumulation within the cabinet, effectively managing indoor air quality during the heating season.
- OEM Compatibility: Exact replacement for Lennox models WB2-17, WB2-18, WP2-18, and WP2-18A, ensuring a precise fit in the scale control insert.
- Optimized Evaporation: Advanced clay-coated media provides superior wicking action for consistent humidity output.
- System Protection: Effectively traps mineral contaminants from the water supply, reducing scale buildup inside the humidifier housing.
- Structural Integrity: Built to withstand commercial-grade airflow without collapsing or shedding media into the ductwork.
