Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manuals

______________________________________________________________________________

PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

STEAM ROOM GUIDELINES

To prevent slip and fall hazards, non-slip flooring

or non-slip floor strips must be installed in the steam room.

Applies to 1-9

1. The steam room must be completely enclosed, with full walls,

I N S T A L L E R

door, floor and ceiling as required to contain the steam and prevent moisture damage outside the steam room.

2. It is recommended that a gasketed door is used for steam containment.

3. Check the suitability of any materials with the manufacturer. All steam room surfaces and products must be constructed of heat-resistant and water-resistant, non-corrosive surface, such as tile, marble, molded acrylic, or other non-porous material.

4. Provide a floor drain for condensate gravity drainage.

5. No heating, venting or air conditioning devices should be installed inside the steam room.

WATER QUALITY

Applies to 1-5

1. The water supply should be tested prior to installation. If the mineral content exceeds the following recommended limits, water treatment is recommended.

RECOMMENDED FEEDWATER QUALIT Y

Hardness, ppm 8 – 85 (~0.5 – 5 gpg) P-Alkalinity, ppm 85 – 410 (~5 – 24 gpg) T. Alkalinity, ppm 200 – 500 (~12 – 30 gpg) pH (strength of alkalinity) 8.0 – 11.4

6. Steam room tile construction information is available from the Tile Council of America, Inc. by purchasing the TCA Handbook for Ceramic Tile Installation. Tel. (864) 646-8453 or www.tileusa.com.

7. Steam room windows should be double paned and tempered safety glass.

8. For optimal results, limit steam room ceiling height to 8 feet. Exceeding 8 feet may require a higherrated steam generator. See page 6 for additional steam generator sizing information.

9. The information in this manual should be used in conjunction with consultations with an architect, designer and contractor in determining factors necessary in providing a suitable and safe steam room.

4. In “hard” water areas, the manual drain valve should

opened as required to fully flush out accumulated

be materials, salts and other particles which are natural by-products of boiling water.

5. The optional AutoFlush automatically drains the

generator following each use. A time delay allows the water to cool down (about two hours) before it drains by gravity for a safe and gentle operation. See page 19 for additional AutoFlush information.

2. An analysis of the water must be made by a recognized and reliable water treatment company to ascertain the condition and treatment required.

3. Poor water quality can affect steam generator efficiency and/or result in steam generator damage. Water contains impurities in solution and suspension. These impurities concentrate in the generator. The concentration of these impurities increases as more water is introduced into the generator and steam is produced. A deposit or “scale” will form on the generator internal surfaces. This deposit can interfere with the proper generator operation and cause generator failure. The concentration of these impurities is generally controlled by the water quality and by periodic draining of the generator.

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 condensate. Running the steam piping down and then up will create a steam trap blocking or restricting the flow of steam.

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.

STEAMHEAD INSTALLATION

Applies to 1-2

1. 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.

2. Because the steamhead and direct steam emissions are very hot, locate the steamheads where incidental contact by bather with the steamheads or direct steam emission cannot occur.

I N S T A L L E R

3. Do not disassemble steamheads. The steamheads are shipped fully assembled and requires no additional assembly. Disassembly of the steamheads may result in a burn hazard.

4. Seal the gap between the wall and the steam supply pipe with silicone (or other 212˚F heat resistant sealant) as required to create a moisture seal. Failure to create a moisture seal may allow moisture to enter the wall cavity and cause property damage.

5. To preserve the steamhead 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 nonabrasive sponge.

6. Contact the supplier of acrylic, fiberglass and other non-heat resistant enclosures for recommended steamhead location. Use Acrylic Shield PN 103938RD (round) or PN 103938SQ (square). See instructions provided with steam shield.

STEP 1

1. Locate the steamheads 6-12 inches above floor.

2. For tub/shower enclosures, install the steamheads 6 inches above tub top edge.

3. To prevent door seals or any material, product or surface from deteriorating, do not locate the steamheads where direct steam emission would come in direct contact with non-heat or moisture-resisitant products or materials.

4. To reduce noise, do not locate steamhead within 12" from a wall.

STEP 2

Provide 1

STEP 3

Secure a bronze drop ear fittings to a header and run a 3/4" copper steam piping from the steam generator to tee fitting and 1/2" steam piping after tee fitting to the drop ear fittings. Install a temporary nipples (6" or longer) in the drop ear fittings to locate the steamheads after the wall is finished.

STEP 4

After the wall has been finished, mark the surface of the wall for both nipples. Remove the nipples and measure the portion that was in the wall (the end to your mark). Subtract 1⁄4" from that dimension and select a brass nipples of that length to finish the installation.

STEP 5

Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the new nipples and screw the nipples into the steamheads. Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the nipples and screw the nipples and steamhead assemblies into the drop ear fittings in the wall. Hand tightening is sufficient when teflon or equal pipe thread sealing compound is used. The steamheads should be flush with the oil well facing up.

OPTIONAL AUTOFLUSH

OPERATION

The optional AutoFlush automatically drains the generator following each use. A time delay allows the water to cool down (about two hours) before it drains by gravity for a safe and gentle operation. At the start of the flush cycle, the generator will drain and fill with water at the same time. This flush cycle will continue for approximately 5 minutes, then the generator will stop filling with water and the AutoFlush valve will remain open until the next steam session . If the Express Steam® option has been installed, the AutoFlush will drain for ten minutes then refill with fresh water to begin the preheat cycle.

INSTALLATION

SWEAT FITTINGS When using sweat fittings use only tin base solder with a melting point below 600 degrees F. Do not overheat. Ends of water supply tubing must be thoroughly clean for a minimum distance of 1" from ends. Do not remove valve cover.

Applies to 1-4

Do not connect the generator drain line to an undersink trap.

Do not plumb the generator drain and condensation pan drain together in such a way that will cause drain water to back into condensation pan. Water backing up into the Drain Pan may overflow and cause a leak and property damage.

Do not drain into a steam enclosure or any location where accidental contact with drain water may occur. In the event of a power failure the AutoFlush valve will open and may discharge boiling water causing a scalding hazard.

Do not connect the drain valve to the steam piping. Connecting the drain line to the steam piping may allow boiling water to discharge through the steamhead causing a scalding hazard.

Do not remove the drain valve. Removal may cause equipment and property damage. If there is not enough room for the valve, an elbow and a short nipple (not provided) can be added.

Set duration to a maximum of 10 minutes to gauge comfort and safety levels. This will allow the steam generator to heat up and begin producing steam while providing a short steam bath session.
