Tile/Stone and the BiLateral Steam Head.

12. Apply Silicone Sealant between the Tile/Stone and the

outer edge of the BiLateral Steam Head (See Figure 5).

NOTE: Make sure there are absolutely no air gaps

between the outer edges of the BiLateral Steam Head and

the final wall material. If air gaps are left, steam will leak

between wall construction and cause water damage to

foundation.

13. Insert Front Face Cover (from step #8) back into the

BiLateral Steam Head. Push it in until it makes contact with

the wall.

14. Apply dabs of Silicone Sealant between the Left and

Right edges of the Front Face Cover and the wall

Tile/Stone to make sure the Cover does not slide out.

Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT: To use the BiLateral Steam Head, make sure the

steam room wall studs are exposed to allow for proper installation. If

the walls are fully finished and studs are not accessible, please use

a different type steam head, model# 3199.

NOTE: For maximum comfort the BiLateral Steam Head should

always be located as far from the seating area as possible.

1. The BiLateral Steam Head location should be 12" to 18" above

the shower floor or 6" above the rim of the bathtub, as far from the

seating area as possible. Do NOT install the steam head directly

below the temperature/user control. For optimum performance,

install the steam head on the wall opposite or adjacent and as far as

possible from the temperature/user control.

2. If the steam generator is located above or on the same level as

the steam head, install the steam head with the threaded connec-

tion at top (See Figure 1). If the steam generator is located below

the steam head, install the steam head with the threaded connec-

tion at the bottom (See Figure 2).

3. Rough in the steam line using a minimum of a ¾" copper or

brass pipe. Do NOT use black iron or galvanized pipe, it will rust

and discolor the wall of the steam room. Do NOT use CPVC or any

plastic type pipe, fitting or water type line as the steam pipe.

4. Place the BiLateral Steam Head between wall studs (See Figure

3). Make sure that the front lip is placed in such way that it will be

flush with the final wall material such as Tile or Stone (See Figure

5). If you are uncertain of the Tile/Stone thickness at the time of

install, the front lip of the steam head may be slightly recessed back

into the wall but must NOT be placed behind Backer Board and

cannot protrude past front of Tile (See Figure 4).

5. Make sure the BiLateral Steam Head is level, left to right and

front to back (See Figure 3).

6. Secure the BiLateral Steam Head to wall studs using 8 screws or

nails.

7. Connect the ¾” copper or brass pipe to the BiLateral Steam

Head.

8. Remove the Front Face Cover by sliding it out of the BiLateral

Steam Head. It will not be needed until step #13.

9. Proceed with steam room construction by insulating the walls

and installing Backer Board onto the wall. Make sure to leave a

proper size cutout in the Backer Board for the BiLateral Steam

Head. Do NOT leave a large gap between the Backer Board and

the BiLateral Steam Head.

10. Apply Silicone Sealant between the Backer Board and the outer

edge of the BiLateral Steam Head (See Figure 4).

11. Complete the wall construction with Thin Set and Tile/Stone.

Make sure to leave a proper size cutout in the Tile/Stone for the

BiLateral Steam Head. Do NOT leave a large gap between the
