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.

I N S T A L L E R
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 steam­head 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 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.

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
