A humidifier includes a housing in which vaporizer means for promoting vaporization of liquid is removably received. The vaporizer means includes a liquid manifold and a porous material. The liquid manifold is connected to a pump assembly by a conduit such that the manifold is supplied with a liquid thereby. The housing has an opening therein which the manifold is adapted to sealingly engage and the conduit is secured in a predetermined location with respect to that opening. The conduit and the manifold further include means for automatically sealingly engage each other in response to the manifold being inserted into sealing engagement with the opening in the housing thereby providing a fluid flow path from the conduit to the interior of said manifold. The manifold has a portion which grips the porous material such that the porosity of the material is controlled and the flow of liquid from the manifold to the porous material is regulated thereby. The manifold is configured such that the vaporizer means and manifold are removable without disassembly of the humidifier.
