INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2023 5 kW Steam Generator
IMPORTANT: See the Installation and Operation Manual provided with the steam generator for additional important steam head & control installation and operation information.
Installation:
Steam Head ( 1⁄2″ NPT)
CAUTION
INSTALLER: Because the steam head and direct steam emissions are very
hot, locate the steam head where incidental contact by bather with the steam
head or direct steam emission cannot occur.
STEP 1 Locate steam head 6-12 inches above floor, except for:
- Tub/shower enclosures, install 6 inches above tub top edge.
- For enclosures with acrylic or other non-heat resistant flooring install Acrylic Shield Part Number MS-103938.
- To prevent door seals from deteriorating do not locate the steam head where direct steam emission would contact door seals.
STEP 2 Install steamhead with the oil well facing up as shown. Hand
tightening is sufficient when teflon or equal pipe thread sealing compound is
used.
IMPORTANT NOTE: to preserve steam head finish, do not use wrench or other
tools to tighten. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or chemicals. Use only water
with mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge.
CAUTION
Consult with supplier of acrylic, fiberglass and other non-heat resistant
enclosures for recommended steamhead location. Use Acrylic Shield part number
MS-103938. See instructions provided with steam shield.
STEP 3 Secure a bronze drop ear fitting to a header and run a 1⁄2″ copper
steamline from the steam generator to the drop ear fitting. Install a
temporary nipple (6″ or longer)in the drop ear fitting to locate the steamhead
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 1⁄4″ 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 steamhead. 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 steamhead assembly you just made into the drop ear
fitting in the wall. The steamhead should be flush with the wall and the well
must be facing up.
