Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
Read these instructions before installation or service. Although this MS steambath generator has been fully qualified for shipment by MR. STEAM, the following must be reviewed for proper, safe and enjoyable steam bathing.
Verify that the model and accessories are correct, including incoming line voltage.
Insure steambath generator has been correctly sized for the steambath room. Pay particular attention to room
volume and construction. If any questions, please refer to MR. STEAM sizing guide enclosed.
(see page 16)
Marble or glass walls or ceilings, or exterior walls “ENLARGE” the room’s size, requiring a generator larger
than one based only on the room’s cubic foot (L x H x W) volume.
The physical size of the unit, clearance for plumbing servicing, and its distance from the steam room must all
be considered before final installation.
IMPORTANT
MR. STEAM units are intended to be operated with a MR. STEAM timer and/or temperature control only,
and are to be installed strictly in accordance with the specific instructions supplied with these optional

Plumbing
All plumbing shall be performed by a qualified plumber and in accordance with applicable national and local codes.
• Use unions on all pipe connections.
• Use only brass piping or copper tubing
• Do not use black, galvanized or PVC pipe.
Water Supply (3/8” NPT)
1.
Connect hot or cold water line. Hot water line is preferable. Hot water should not exceed 160° F.
2.
Provide a shut off valve in the supply line.
3.
Do not overheat inlet solenoid valve with solder connections. Overheating will damage parts.
4.
Flush inlet water line thoroughly before making connection to unit.
5.
Strainer is required if there are solid particles in the water.
6.
For best performance water pressure should be 15 to 20 psig.
7.
Provide anti-water hammer device as required.
Steam Outlet ( 1/2” NPT)
1.
Do not install a valve in steam line. Flow of steam must be unobstructed.
2.
Use 1/2-inch brass or copper pipe from unit to steam head.
3.
Insulate steam line using pipe insulation rated 250° F or higher.
4.
Pitch steam line to avoid valleys and trapping of condensate.
5.
Pitch steam line 1/4” per foot towards steam head or steam generator.
Steam Head
1.
Locate steam head 6 to 12 inches from floor, except:
• For tub/shower enclosures, install steam head 6 inches above tub top ledge.
• When used in shower stall with acrylic or other non-heat resistant floors,
install steam head 20-30 inches from floor or use a steam shield MS-103412.
2.
If steam room is provided with seat(s), locate steam head as far away from seat as possible.
3.
Install steam head with steam emission slot facing downward.
4. NOTE:
To preserve steam head finish, do not use wrench or other tools to tighten.
Hand tightening is sufficient when Teflon or equal pipe thread sealing compound is used.
5.
Locate steamhead as required to prevent accidental contact with steam.
Drain (1/2” NPT)
NOTE:
A drain valve is provided to facilitate servicing.
Where local codes permit, provide a drain line connection from steambath generator drain valve. Check local
plumbing code for receptor, trap and vent requirements. Unit drains by gravity.
Safety Valve (3/4” NPT)
Where permitted by local codes, provide a connection for safety valve.
To insure proper and automatic safety valve operation,
