Applies to 1-5
1. Do not install any valve
in steam piping. The flow of
steam must be unobstructed.
2. MAX Steam Generators must be installed with two or
more steamheads. Using less than two steamheads will
result in too much steam coming out of one steamhead
and may result in scalding and personal injury.
3. Never use less than two steamheads.
4. Never use less than 3⁄4” steam piping from generator to
Tee fitting. Using less than 3/4” steam piping will result
in too much steam coming out of the steamheads and
may result in scalding and personal injury.
5. Install steam piping as required (including routing, fit-
tings and length of pipe) to insure an equal amount of
steam reaches each steamhead. Unequal steam piping
will result in too much steam coming out of one steam-
head and may result in scalding and personal injury.
Applies to 6-10
6. Use brass pipe or copper tubing from unit to steamhead
as permitted by codes.
7. Insulate steam piping with fiberglass pipe insulation or
similar insulation rated 212° F or higher.
8. Pitch steam piping 1/4" per foot towards steamhead or
steam generator to avoid valleys and trapping of conden-
sate. Running the steam piping down and then up will
create a steam trap blocking or restricting the flow of
steam.
ALL DRAWINGS FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY.
Failure to pitch the steam piping as
required for condensate to drain, may cause condensate to
block the flow of steam. Blocking the steam flow may cause
steam pressure to discharge boiling water through the
steamhead, resulting in a scalding hazard. Blocking the flow
of steam may cause steam to discharge through the safety
valve, resulting in a scalding hazard.
9. Do not install piping so one steamhead has more steam
than the other steamhead. Installing piping so one
steamhead has more steam than the other steamhead
may result in an excessive amount of steam to one
steam, resulting in a scalding or burn hazard.
10. Consult with qualified designer, architect or contractor
for steam room construction details.
For the optimal distribution of steam,
steamheads should be spaced evenly throughout the steam
room.
