Steam Hardware Locations
WARNING: Risk of scalding. Do not locate the steam head near a seat or bench, as the steam head
is hot during operation and may scald the user if touched.
IMPORTANT! It is recommended to locate the control kit and steam head on the same wall as the
plumbing controls. For optimum performance, do not locate the control kit directly above the steam head.
Locate the steam head 6″ (15.2 cm) above the floor and a minimum of 4-1/2″ (11.4 cm) from the threshold.
The steam head should always be located as far away from the seating area as possible.
Identify the model number of your shower module in the illustration. If necessary, consult the
Homeowners Guide included with your shower module to verify the model number. If the
roughing-in dimensions for your particular model is not shown, refer to the ″Custom Shower
Applications″ portion of the illustration.
Determine the location of the control kit and steam head based on the roughing-in dimensions
illustrated. Dimensions given in the rough-in information are crucial for proper installation.
Locate the control kit and steam head in the location indicated. All measurements are from the
inside of the module.
