NOTICE FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY
Some components may be omitted or altered for clarity. Do not use for wiring, repair, or other purposes not related to component identification.

Installation

Plumbing

All plumbing shall be performed by a qualified licensed plumber and in accordance with applicable National and local codes.

• Use unions on all pipe connections.
• Use only brass piping or rigid copper tubing as permitted by codes.
• Do not use black, galvanized, PVC, or PE pipe.

WARNING water supply and steam piping must be flushed to remove flux and other debris prior to connecting the steam generator.
Failure to flush the steam piping may result in flux poisoning or a hazardous condition. Failure to rinse the steam piping may result in blockage or an inoperable system.

Water supply(3/8”NPT)

1. Connect to the cold water line.

2. Provide a shut-off valve in the water supply line upstream of the steambath generator.

3. Do not overheat the inlet solenoid valve with solder connections.
   Overheating will damage parts.

4. Flush the inlet water line thoroughly before making a connection to the unit.

5. Strainer recommended upstream of feed water connection.

6. For best performance, the water pressure should be 15 to 20 psig.
   Reduce pressure as required.

7. Provide anti-water hammer device as required.

8. Install an approved backflow preventer as required by local codes.

Drain (1″ N P T )
The drain from the generator should not share an undersink trap unless the generator is mounted higher than the sink.

NOTICE A drain valve is provided to facilitate servicing. Provide a drain line connection from the steambath generator drain valve according to National and local Codes. Check local plumbing code for receptor, trap, and vent requirements. Do not connect the Drain line and Safety Valve line together. Unit drains by gravity. Do NOT connect the drain valve to the steam piping.

Safety Valve ( 3 4″N P T )
Where permitted by local codes, provide an outlet plumbing connection for the safety valve.

WARNING: Do NOT connect a shut-off valve or plug at the safety valve outlet to ensure proper and automatic safety valve operation. DO NOT connect a shut-off valve or any construction in the steam supply piping.
Condensation Pan
MrSteam strongly recommends using a condensation pan in the unlikely event of a plumbing leak. Check local plumbing codes for receptor, trap, and vent requirements. Condensation pans drain by gravity. The condensation pan is equipped with an integral 4″ fitting. See page 14 for additional condensation pan installation information.
AromaSteam
If the optional AromaSteam Electronic Oil Delivery System (PN: MS AROMA) is to be installed, a 90-degree T plumbing fitting must be installed at a designated location on the steam outlet line.
See the MrSteam Aroma-Steam Operation and Instruction Manual for installation information before the steam piping is installed at www.mrsteam.com technical downloads.

Steam Piping ( 1 2″ NPT)

1. Do not install any valve in the steam piping. The flow of steam must be unobstructed.
2. Use 12-inch brass pipe or copper tubing from unit to steam head as permitted by codes.
3. Insulate steam piping with fiberglass or similar insulation rated 212° F or higher.
4. Pitch steam piping 1 4″ per foot towards the steam head or steam generator to avoid valleys and condensate trapping.

WARNING 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 steam head, resulting in a scalding hazard. Blocking the flow of steam may cause steam to discharge ough the safety valve, resulting in a scalding hazard.

NOTICE A 1.5″ hole in the stea m roo m is required to mount the steam head.

Water Quality Information

For optimum results, the water supply should be tested prior to installation. If the mineral content exceeds the following recommended limits, various external treatment processes are recommended to correct the problem.
NOTICE An analysis of the on-site water must be made by a recognized and reliable water treatment company to ascertain the existing condition and treatment required. Poor water quality can affect efficiency or result in steam generator damage. Water contains impurities in the solution and suspension. These impurities concentrate in the generator. The concentration of these impurities increases as more feedwater is introduced into the generator and steam is produced. If the suspended solids are allowed to concentrate beyond certain limits, a deposit or “scale” will form on the generator’s 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.

RECOMMENDED FEEDWATER QUALITY
Hardness, ppm 8 85 (0.5 5 gpg)
P-Alkalinity, ppm 85 410 (5 24 gpg)
T. Alkalinity, ppm 200 500 (7 0 gpg)
pH (strength of alkalinity) 8.0 11.4
The CT AutoFlush System feature automatically drains the CT 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.

Installing the AromaSteam Steamhead ( 1 ⁄2″ NPT)

A11 ⁄2″ clearance hole around the steam pipe is needed to mount the steam head.
STEP 1
Locate steam head 6-12 inches above the floor, except for:

1. Tub/shower enclosures, install 6 inches above tub top edge.
2. Consult with the supplier of acrylic, fiberglass, and other non-heat resistant enclosures for recommended steam head location.
3. Use Acrylic Shield MS 103412. See instructions provided with a steam shield.
4. To reduce noise do not locate the steam head within 12″ of a wall.

STEP 2
Install the steam head with the oil well facing up as shown.
Hand tightening is sufficient when Teflon or equal pipe thread sealing compound is used. STEP 3
Secure a bronze drop ear fitting to a header and run a 1 ⁄2″ copper steam pipe from the steam generator to the drop-ear fitting. Install a temporary nipple 6″ or longer) in the drop-ear fitting to locate the steam head after the wall is finished. STEP 4
After the wall has been finished, mark on the nipple where the surface of the wall is. Remove the nipple and measure the portion that was in the wall (the end to your mark). Subtract 1 ⁄8″from that dimension and select a brass nipple of that length to finish the installation. STEP 5
Wrap Teflon tape around the threads of the new nipple and screw the nipple into the steam head. Do not use wrenches or tools which would damage the steamhead’s finish.
Wrap Teflon tape around the threads of the nipple and screw the nipple and steamed assembly you just made into the drop-ear fitting in the wall. The steam should be flush with the wall and thewellmustbefacingup.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• Do not disassemble the steam head. MrSteam’s steam head is shipped fully assembled and requires no additional assembly.
• To preserve the steam head finish, do not use wrenches or other tools to tighten. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or chemicals.
  Use only water with mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge.

CAUTION

AutoFlush ®

Box Contents

• AutoFlush Valve with Cord
• Installation instructions.

Operation

The AutoFlush System feature automatically drains the CT system 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. Unit drains by gravity.

Installation Instructions

1. Plumbing is to be performed by a qualified plumber and shall be in accordance with applicable national and local codes. Unit drains by gravity. A drain line that is lower than the AutoFlush assembly must be available. The AutoFlush System valve outlet is 1″ NPT. Check plumbing code for receptor, trap, and vent requirements.

2. Use copper or brass nipple 1″ NPT x 3 ⁄2″ or longer (not supplied) to connect the AutoFlush valve to the Drain Valve, noting the direction of flow on the valve body.
   CAUTION The AutoFlush valve must be installed within the orientation range shown.
   CAUTION DO NOT REMOVE THE DRAIN VALVE Removal may cause equipment and property damage.
   If there is not enough room for the valve, an elbow and a short nipple (not provided) can be added.

3. Open Drain Valve (handle must be aligned with brass nipple).

4. Connect the AutoFlush System cord connector to the three-pin connector as shown.

WARNING Do not drain into a steam enclosure or any location where accidental contact with drain water may occur. In the event of a power failure, the AutoFlush System valve will open and may discharge boiling water.
