AromaSteam Steamhead Installation Manual

IMPORTANT: See the Installation and Operation Manual
provided with the steam generator for additional important
steamhead & control installation and operation information.
Installation: 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.
STEP 1
Locate steam head 6-12 inches above floor, except for:
• Tub/shower enclosures, install 6 inches above tub top edge.
• For enclosures with acrylic or other non-heat resistant
flooring install Acrylic Shield Part Number MS-103938.
STEP 2
Install steamhead with the oil well facing up as shown. Hand tightening
is sufficient when teflon or equal pipe thread sealing compound is used.
IMPORTANT NOTE: to preserve steam head finish, do not use
wrench or other tools to tighten. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or
chemicals. Use only water with mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge.
Consult with supplier of acrylic, fiberglass and other
non-heat resistant enclosures for recommended steamhead location.
Use Acrylic Shield part number MS-103938. See instructions provided
with steam shield.
STEP 3
Secure a bronze drop ear fitting to a header and run a 1/2" copper
steamline from the steam generator to the drop ear fitting. Install
a temporary nipple (6" or longer)in the drop ear fitting to locate
the steamhead after the wall is finished.
STEP 4
After the wall has been finished, mark on the nipple where the surface
of the wall is. Remove the nipple and measure the portion that was
in the wall (the end to your mark). Subtract
1
⁄
4
" from that dimension
and select a brass nipple of that length to finish the installation.
STEP 5
Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the new nipple and screw
the nipple into the steamhead. Do not use wrenches or tools which
would damage the steamhead's finish. Wrap teflon tape around the
threads of the nipple and screw the nipple and steamhead assembly
you just made into the drop ear fitting in the wall. The steamhead
should be flush with the wall and the well must be facing up.
