INSTALLATION & USER GUIDE
PLUMBING INSTALLATION
WARNING! The installation of all water supply lines should be in accordance to all national and local codes by a licensed plumber.
1. Use adapters and unions when connecting pipes to generator.
2. Use brass pipes or copper pipe only.
3. Do not use black and galvanized or PVC pipes.
WATER SUPPLY PIPE (1/2’’)
1. Connect hot water or cold water pipes. However it should not exceed 160F.
2. Install a shut off valve in the water supply line.The shut off valve should be installed in a place where it is easily accessible in
case of an emergency.
3. Flush the water supply line completely before connecting the water pipe to the steam generator, to remove any sediments in
the water.
4. Use a 3/8” steel braded flex hose with a shut off valve to connect the main waterline to the generator. See page 5 illustration
1.2.
5. The shut off valve should be open approximately 25% to reduce water pressure to the generator. The water pressure to the
generator should be between 10 to 15 PSIG if necessary, decrease the pressure accordingly.
6. It is highly recommended to install a pressure reducing valve (10 to 15 PSI).
7. Do not use PEX or PVC tubing.
STEAM PIPE (3/4’’)
1. Do not install any stop valves in the steam pipes. The steam can never be obstructed.
2. Install a 3/4” copper or brass pipe between the steam generator and the steam nozzle.
3. If needed, the heat insulation material used to insulate the steam pipe should be resistant to temperatures as high as 240F or
higher.
4. The shorter the distance, the better. Use 90 degree elbows when pipes turn to allow the steam to flow smoothly through the
steam pipe.
STEAM HEAD (3/4’’)
ATTENTION! Steam Head and the steam outlet gets very hot, try to avoid installing the steam head in a position which will easily
come into contact with the person bathing.
1. Install the steam head approximately 12 inches above the ground floor. If the steam room material is acrylic or non-heat-
resistant sheet, please consult with material manufacturer about steam room applications.
2. The steam head outlet should be installed face down. To prevent scalding bather with steam or water.
ATTENTION! Tighten steam head by hand. Do not use a spanner or other tools, use a little soap water and soft sponge to wipe,
and do not use erosive chemical solutions or crude cleaning tools.
IMPORTANT!
1. Please consult manufacturer of materials like acrylic, fiber glass or other anti-heat sheet about the installation of the steam
head.
2. In the entire steam room, it is required that steam does not leak out. The pipes, its accessories and the holes should be air
tight by applying sealant so that no steam will enter the holes in the wall.
