WARNING: Risk of scalding. Do not plumb a trap, shut-off valve, or pressure relief valve into the
steam line. Plumbing the pressure relief valve into the steam line can be hazardous, if the steam
outlet is capped.
NOTE: Follow the instructions packed with your steam head and user interface control.
IMPORTANT! The steam heads must be installed at least 6" (15.2 cm) from the floor in the shower/steam
room in an area where contact with occupants is unlikely.
IMPORTANT! The steam heads must be installed with a minimum 10" (25.4 cm) gap between them.
IMPORTANT! Provide clearance between the back wall and the elbows. The elbows should not contact
the back wall.
IMPORTANT! Dedicated lines are required to each steam head. Do not combine the steam outlets into one
steam head.
NOTE: The edge of each hole should be at least 1" (2.5 cm) away from all wall studs.
Drill a 2-1/2" (6.4 cm) diameter hole in the wall at the desired steam head locations.
NOTE: For all the connections, use thread sealant tape and do not overtighten the fittings.
Connect 1/2" NPT copper pipe or copper tubing and a 1/2" copper union to the steam outlet of the
steam generator.
IMPORTANT! Never run the steam lines down, then up. Running the steam lines down and then up will
create a steam trap, blocking the flow of steam. Each steam lines should run up to the steam head from
the generator, at a pitch of 3/8" (1 cm) to 1/2" (1.3 cm) per 12" (30.5 cm) of pipe.
