Carrier 318518-762 Humidifier Pad Combo

As an HVAC technician, you know that maintaining system efficiency starts with the right humidifier evaporator pad. The Carrier 318518-762 Humidifier Pad Combo is a genuine OEM component engineered specifically for furnace-mounted bypass and fan-powered humidifiers. This replacement media features a high-performance expanded aluminum mesh construction coated with a specialized clay material designed to maximize water absorption and ensure uniform evaporation. With nominal dimensions of 10-1/2" x 11-1/2" x 1-1/2", this combo includes an integral aluminum frame and a distribution felt wick to prevent dry spots and splashing within the cabinet. Regular replacement of the humidifier water panel is critical for preventing mineral scale buildup that can restrict airflow and reduce moisture output. This Carrier humidifier filter replacement is compatible with a wide range of Bryant, Payne, and Day & Night units, including the HUMBBSBP2017 and HUMCCSBP2017 series, ensuring your residential clients maintain consistent indoor humidity levels throughout the heating season.

• OEM Compatibility: Precision-fit for Carrier 49BP, 912E, and HUMBBSBP series whole-house humidifiers.
• Superior Media Coating: The clay-like surface enhances water retention and effectively traps mineral deposits from hard water.
• Improved Air Quality: Consistent moisture distribution helps mitigate static electricity and protects wood furnishings from drying out.
• Full Assembly: Includes the integral aluminum frame and felt distributor wick for a seamless drop-in installation.
• Maintains Static Pressure: High-porosity design ensures optimal airflow through the humidifier bypass without overworking the furnace blower.

How often should I replace the Carrier 318518-762 pad?

For standard municipal water, change the pad at the start of every heating season. In regions with high mineral content or hard water, a mid-season replacement is recommended to prevent scale from clogging the distributor tray.

Does this combo include the distributor tray?

Yes, this part number is a combo unit that typically includes the mounting frame and the distribution wick required for proper water flow across the 318518-762 media.

How do I ensure the pad is installed correctly?

Ensure the painted mark or colored stripe on the edge of the pad is facing upward. This ensures the wicking action works as intended, distributing water from the solenoid valve evenly across the aluminum mesh.
