Rough In Steam Line (not supplied)
Prior to steam head installation, Install rough plumbing line to
desired location. The steam head must be installed to a ¾” NPT copper or brass
pipe; do NOT use black iron or galvanized pipe, it will rust and discolor the
steam bath wall. Do NOT use plastic supply pipes or fittings.
NOTE: Supply elbow and steam supply pipe MUST BE SECURELY ANCHORED to
ridged blocking.
The steam head location should be 12” to 18” above the shower floor or 6”
above the rim of the bathtub, as far from the seating area as possible.
Steam Head Installation
-
Make sure the 3/4” nipple protrudes beyond the tile ¼” to ½” (6-12 mm). -
Keep opening in finished wall close as possible to pipe nipple with no more than 1/2” gap.
IMPORTANT: If the nipple protrudes beyond ½” the O-ring will not make a proper seal and the nipple will have to be adjusted. -
Wrap the threads of the nipple with plumber’s tape or use pipe sealant.
-
Make sure the steam head will line up in the upright position when tightened.
The steam head should only be firmly hand tight. Using a wrench on the head may damage it. Screw the steam head on to the nipple and see how it lines up.
Once a proper alignment is made remove the steam head.
NOTE: The steam head has been designed with a 360 degree dispersion of
steam to improve steam circulation and to minimize the hotspots created with
the traditional steam heads. For maximum comfort the steam head should always
be located as far from the seating area as possible. Should the location of
the steam head necessitate blocking the steam from a particular direction to
improve bather comfort, the supplied deflector plate can be added to any of
the three sides shown to help divert the steam away from the bather. The
deflector is attached to the back side of the head before installation with 2
stainless steel screws provided. (See Option Installation, Deflector section
on next page).
NOTE: If necessary the head can be
repositioned by disassembling the hub from the cover and selecting one of the
two alternate positions.
- Re-apply sealant tape if necessary.
- Place a bead of silicone around the pipe, sealing the pipe to the wall.
- Place a bead of silicone around the back outer edge of the back plate.
- Center and square the back plate over the nipple. While holding the head in place, attach the nipple by hand tightening the screws to the head.
- Adjust the back plate and head to line up squarely. Remove any excess silicone with rubbing alcohol.
Optional Installation
IMPORTANT: A silicone boot is provided and should be
installed to protect against accidental contact with the hot surface
temperature of the steam head, which can reach approximately 212° during
operation.
If needed to improve bather comfort the included
optional steam deflector can be installed to block the flow of steam from any
of the shown sides of the steam head.
