PLUMBING INSTALLATION

WARNING! The installation of all water supply lines should be in accordance to all national and local codes by a licensed plumber.

1. Use unions when connecting pipes.

2. Use brass pipes or copper hoses only.

3. Do not use black and galvanized or PVC pipes.

WATER SUPPLY PIPE (1/2’’)

1. Connect hot water or cold water pipes. However it should not exceed 160¨F.

2. Install stop valve in the water supply line. The stop valve should be installed in a place where it is easily accessible in case of an
emergency.

3. Flush the water supply line completely before connecting the water pipe to the steam generator, to remove any sediments in
the water.

4. The water pressure should be at best between 15 and 20 lbs/square inch. If necessary, decrease the pressure accordingly.

5. If necessary, install a Hydro pneumatic device which reduces pressure spikes.

STEAM PIPE (3/4’’)

1. Do not install any stop valves in the steam pipes. The steam can never be obstructed.

2. Install a 3/4” copper pipe as the steam pipe between the steam generator and the steam nozzle.

3. The heat insulation material used to insulate the steam pipe should be resistant to temperatures as high as 250 F or higher.

4. The shorter the distance, the better. Try to decrease the number of elbows to prevent creating valleys or traps.

STEAM HEAD (3/4’’)

ATTENTION! Steam Head and the steam outlet get very hot, try to avoid installing the steam head in a position which will easily

come into contact with the person bathing.

1. Install the steam head 6 inches above the ground and 12 inches from wall. If the steam room material is acrylic or non-heat­resistant sheet, please consult with material manufacturer about steam room applications.

2. The steam head outlet should be installed face down. To prevent scalding bather with steam or water.

ATTENTION! Tighten steam head by hand. Do not use a spanner or other tools, use a little soap water and soft sponge to wipe,

and do not use erosive chemical solutions or crude cleaning tools.

IMPORTANT!

1. Please consult manufacturer of materials like acrylic, fiber glass or other anti-heat sheet about the installation of the steam
head.

2. In the entire steam room, it is required that steam does not leak out. The pipes, its accessories and the holes should be air
proof by applying glue so that no steam will enter the holes in the wall.

DRAINPIPE (1/2’’)

ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL AND LOCAL PLUMBING CODES: The steam generator drain valve should be equipped with a

drainpipe. The steam generator drains the water by using gravity, and pitch is required. Check local code requirements for drain
valves. Do not connect the safety valve or steam line to drain line.

SAFETY VALVE (3/4’’)

1. Safety valve is an automatic system that is actuated by pressure in order to prevent steam pressure increasing in the interior
of the generator .

2. The pressure limit range of the safety valve is 15 PSI and the pressure will begin to decrease if pressure should come over this
value.

3. If it is allowed by local codes, provide the safety valve with exterior drainpipe.

4. Do not dismantle the pressure relief valve while generator is in operation..

5. To maintain the proper automatic operation of the safety valve, make sure the safety valve connection pipe is smooth.
