C
and 6" from any corner.
Steamhead is to be mounted as far as possible from
typical bathing position (seated or standing) and installed
as far from the in-shower controller as possible.
For retrot to existing nish wall:
Drill a 1-1/8" diameter hole in the shower wall or wall above
bathtub rim for the steam outlet rough-in tting and install
to be ush with the nished wall. this housing must be
sealed to the wall to not allow vapor or water behind it.
(plumbing must be done from backside of
nshed space)
For new framing: Mount and install rough-in tting to be
ush with nished wall.
Connect a 1/2" NPT brass pipe or copper tubing to
the steam outlet union (not included) on the generator
running the pipe to the steam head location in the wall
to connect with the steamhead rough-in tting. It is very
important that the pipe is rmly secured to the wall, so
that when the steamhead is installed it doesn’t push the
rough-in tting back into the wall. Install a 1/2” dropear
elbow on the end of the 1/2” pipe or tubing for the
rough-in tting.
Use the installation tool to tighten the housing in place
with a 1" socket and driver. Then insert the protective cap
into the housing.
For all the connections, use solder for copper joints and
Teon tape for pipe ttings and do not over tighten ttings.
