Important Installation

Tools and Materials

Materials needed:

ThermaTouch control
M12 cable
Silicone
Power Distribution Module (PDM)
Mud Ring
Ethernet Cable with RJ-45 Connector (not supplied)
Other materials as required

Back of Control

Mud Ring Application

Control Installation and Data Cable Connection

Route the M12 cable through the finished wall to the back side of the control. (The other end of the cable runs to the PDM location.) NOTE: It is recommended to run the cable through electrical conduit. DO NOT STAPLE the cable!

Run the M12 cable so the 90-degree end connection will connect to the ThermaTouch control. Then connect the M12 Cable to ThermaTouch control. Do not over tighten.

If the Light, Sound, Rain Head option is not used then amplified speakers are required for sound.

Cable Connection

DO NOT pinch, nail, staple, wedge, or bind the data cable.

DO NOT wrap the data cable around steam line or route it in a manner so that the hot steam line could melt the cable.

Any damage to the control cable will result in the control not working properly.

Carefully connect the data cable to the PDM and control BEFORE turning power on to the generator or PDM.
Cable Connection

Sealing Control

THESE STEPS MUST BE TAKEN FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE CONTROL. REMOVE MUD RING FROM WALL CUTOUT BEFORE MAKING FINAL CABLE CONNECTIONS TO THE THERMATOUCH CONTROL. TEST THAT ALL CONNECTIONS ARE WORKING BEFORE SEALING THE CONTROL TO THE WALL.

(Power on the control and see that it lights up).

A, Coat the entire groove on the control back with supplied waterproof silicone to fully seal the control to the wall. Completely seal the control to the wall so moisture does not collect behind it.

Place the control on the wall pressing firmly. (You may need to tape the control into place until the silicone dries.)

Be careful not to harm the wall or control with the tape. Let dry for 24 hours before using steam bath.

Steam Line and Steamhead

Now you will need to decide on the steamhead placement in the shower so you can run the steam line from the generator to the steamhead. There are a couple of things you need to know about the placement of the steamhead and steam line itself.

DO NOT install any valve in the steam line. Flow of steam must be unobstructed.

DO NOT plumb any traps in the steam line.

A. The steam outlet on the generator requires a 1/2″ brass union for easy installation (not included).

B. Use 1/2” brass pipe or copper tubing from unit to steamhead rough-in fitting as permitted by code.
Line and Steamhead

Steamhead Location

DO NOT install the steamhead near the seating area or the user.

DO NOT forget to install the steamhead rough-in fitting!

C. Install the steamhead 24″ from the floor or bathtub rim and 6″ from any corner.

Steamhead Location

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 retrofit to existing finish wall:
Drill a 1-1/8″ diameter hole in the shower wall or wall above bathtub rim for the steam outlet rough-in fitting and install to be flush with the finished wall. this housing must be sealed to the wall to not allow vapor or water behind it. (plumbing must be done from backside of finshed space)

For new framing: Mount and install rough-in fitting to be flush with finished 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 fitting. It is very important that the pipe is firmly secured to the wall, so that when the steamhead is installed it doesn’t push the rough-in fitting back into the wall. Install a 1/2” dropear elbow on the end of the 1/2” pipe or tubing for the rough-in fitting.

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 Teflon tape for pipe fittings and do not over tighten fittings. DO NOT USE PVC CEMENT

D, Once the shower wall is complete and the housing is sealed to the wall, remove the protective cap and insert the steamhead into housing. Use the supplied silicone to adherethe steamhead to the wall sealing out any water from getting behind the head.

Use supplied o-ring lubricant to assist in steam head installation. A very small amount is all that is need directly on the o-rings.
Steamhead Location

Upon final installation mount steamhead with facing up to allow aromatherapy well to dispense steam.

For detailed installation instructions of the steamhead please see Installation section in thermasol.com/customer-support

Final Pre-Check Before Operation

Turn ON the water supply to the generator. Check all the connections for leaks.

Plug in generator (unless hardwired model).

Turn ON the power source or breaker.

Verify control panel lights up and test operation. Note: Initial power-on phase takes several minutes for generator to heat up steam.
