Installation
Plumbing
All plumbing shall be performed by a qualied licensed plumber and in accordance with applicable National and
local codes.
Use unions on all pipe connections.
Use only brass piping or copper tubing as permitted by codes.
Do not use black, galvanized or PVC pipe.
Water Supply (3/8” NPT)
1. Connect hot or cold water line. Hot water line is preferable, however hot water should not exceed 160 ˚F (70° C).
2. Provide a shut ovalve in the water supply line upstream of the steambath generator.
3. Do not overheat inlet solenoid valve with solder connections. Overheating will damage parts.
4. Flush inlet water line thoroughly before making connection to unit.
5. Strainer recommended upstream o eed water connection.
6. For best performance water pressure should be 15-20 psig (1 to 1.3 bar).
R educe pressure as required if necessary.
7. Provide anti-water hammer device as required.
Steam Outlet (1/2” NPT)
1. Do not install any valve in steam line. Flow of steam must be unobstructed.
2. Use 1/2” (15mm) brass pipe or copper tubing from unit to steam head as permitted by codes.
3. Insulate steam line using pipe insulation rated 250˚F (120° C) or higher.
4. Pitch steam line towards steam head or steam generator to avoid valleys and trapping of condensate.
Note: R unning the steam line down and then up will create a steam trap blocking the ow of steam.
Steam Head (1/2” NPT)
INSTALLER: Because the steam head and direct steam emissions are very hot, locate the steam
head where incidental contact by bather with the steam head or direct steam emission cannot occur.
1. Locate steam head 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) above oor, except for
Tub/shower enclosures, install 6 in. (15 cm) above tub top edge.
For enclosures with acrylic or other non-heat resistant ooring install Acrylic Shield.
2. Install steamhead with steam discharge slot (opening) facing downward.
Hand tightening is sucient when teon or equal pipe thread sealing compound is used.
IMPORTANT: To preserve steam head nish, do not use wrench or other tools to tighten. Use no abrasive
cleansers or chemicals. Use only water with mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge.
3. IMPORTANT: Consult with supplier of acrylic, berglass and other non-heat resistant enclosures for recom-
mended steamhead location. Use Acrylic S hield.
Drain (1/2” NPT)
Note: A drain valve is provided to facilitate servicing. Provide a drain line connection from steambath generator
drain valve according to National and local Codes. Check local plumbing code for receptor, trap and vent require-
ments. Unit drains by gravity.
Safety Valve (3/4” NPT)
Where permitted by local codes, provide an outlet plumbing connection for safety valve.
To insure proper and automatic safety valve operation: DO N OT connect a shut ovalve or a
plug at safety valve outlet. DO NOT connect a shut ovalve in steam supply pipe.
