THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY OF THE
WALLSEAT IS 250 LBS. (113 kg) WHEN INSTALLED IN ACCOR­DANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Exceeding the maximum
weight may cause mounting failure, resulting in serious injury.
Persons weighing more than 250 lbs. should not use the seat.

Failure to construct and test the header adequately
may result in WallSeat mounting failure and result in serious injury.

2. Mount the WallSeat on a suitable surface like tile, granite or marble.

Consult an architect, engineer or the material manufacturer to determine

if the material is suitable for the installation for a wall mounted seat.

NEVER mount the WallSeat to sheet-rock, drywall, plaster, fiberglass,

acrylic or other similar wall surfaces without the appropriate and required header.
Failure to heed this warning may cause serious injury.

NEVER mount the WallSeat to glass, glass tile or any other materials

prone to damage. Failure to heed this warning may cause serious injury.

Due to variances in local construction methods and materials used, de-

tails given below are suggestions only. Consult the appropriate local contractor for
specific advice.

3. ALWAYS mount the WallSeat to a vertical wall of conventional, framed construction.
NEVER use the WallSeat for any other purpose. NEVER modify the WallSeat.
NEVER use metal studs.

Mounting the WallSeat on a wall that is not verti­cal, modifying the WallSeat or mounting the WallSeat to a
wall with unconventional framing or metal studs may result
in serious injury.

4. Mount the seat in a location away from direct steam emis­sions. Temperatures within steam rooms vary. Test the
WallSeat location by using a suitable portable seat during
several steam baths to insure the safety and comfort of the
user and confirm there are no direct steam emissions near
the WallSeat.

NEVER install the WallSeat in a location where
the WallSeat is near direct steam emission. Failure to heed
this warning may cause severe burns, scalding injuries or
death.

5. The wall thickness (total thickness of materials not including
the studs but including cement board or equal, mastic, tiles
or marble...etc.) must not be more than 25/16” thick. A wall
thickness of more than 25/16” may prevent the mounting
lag bolts from adequately penetrating the header. See fig­ure 2.

Failure to limit the wall thickness to a maximum
thickness of 25/16” may result in WallSeat mounting failure
and result in serious injury.

6. Mount the seat at a height above the floor according to per­sonal prefer-ence. For ADA compliance, the seat is
mounted 17”- 19” above the floor. NEVER mount the seat
more than 24" above the floor.

Failure to mount the WallSeat 24" or less above

the floor may result in serious injury.

Failure to locate the seat away from direct steam
emissions may result in elevated temperature of the
WallSeat itself and sitting or contacting the WallSeat may re­sult in serious injury.

Failure to locate the seat away from direct steam
emissions may result in elevated temperature of the WallSeat
and may result in seat damage.

7. Using the template provided, drill two 15/64” diameter screw
pilot holes into the wall and the header. Use a level to insure
the pilot holes are level. Be precise. Do not oversize or under­size the pilot holes. Drill the pilot holes to the full 4" depth
(length of the lag bolts).

NEVER drill into electrical lines. Drilling into electri­cal lines may cause electrical shock which may result in fire, in­jury or even death.

NEVER drill into plumbing. Drilling into plumbing
may cause interior wall water leaks, which may result in rot,
mold and other property damage.

Failure to drill pilot holes properly may result in
mounting failure and may result in serious injury.

Failure to space and locate pilot holes properly, ac­cording to the template holes, may result in misalignment be­tween the seat and the mounting brackets, and the seat may
not fit into the mounting brackets.

If the pilot holes are not properly spaced, do not
enlarge the holes. NEVER drill multiple holes near each other.
Enlarging the holes or drilling multiple holes near each other
may cause mounting failure and
result in serious injury.

8. Fill the mounting holes with silicone (provided) before mount­ing the brackets to the wall as required to prevent moisture
from penetrating into the wall and/or wall cavity.

Failure to fill the mounting holes properly may allow
moisture to penetrate into the wall and/or wall cavity and re­sult in mold, moisture damage or other moisture related prob­lems.

9. Correctly position and mount the left and right brackets to the
wall using the 3/8” x 4” lag bolts provided. See figure 2 for
correct positioning of both brackets. Do not over or under
tighten the lag bolts. NEVER use any other lag bolts other
than the lag bolts provided. If the lag bolts are missing, mis­placed or damaged please call MrSteam for free replacement
lag bolts.
