INSTRUCTION MANUAL

This guide outlines essential steps for installing a steam shower and identifies common installation issues to avoid. Please note that Home of Prefab and Maya Bath are not liable for any costs associated with preparatory or installation work. Always prioritize steam shower installation instructions provided by the manufacturer.

1. Hiring a Certified Installer

Given the electrical and safety considerations involved, it’s crucial to engage a certified professional for both electrical and plumbing work when installing a steam shower. Maya Bath strongly recommends employing a qualified electrician for electrical tasks and a licensed plumber for the steam shower installation.

2. Preparing Your Property

Before making your purchase, ensure you’ve confirmed the dimensions of the steam shower and determined its placement within your bathroom. The installation process necessitates access to both hot and cold water supplies, as well as an electrical connection. Water Supply: Refer to the manufacturer’s installation guide for precise measurements on where to pipe the hot and cold feeds. The steam shower will arrive with braided hoses for connection, designed to fit snugly against the wall. Ensure the water supply pipes are recessed, with no more than ½ inch protrusion. Consider installing ball lever valves for quick water shut-off.

Electrical Supply: A 5.0KW steam generator requires a dedicated 30Amp power supply, typically wired back to the consumer box on a separate breaker switch. Most Maya Bath steam showers operate on a rated working voltage of 220V at 60Hz.

Drainage: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for positioning the shower’s drainage point, usually accompanied by a flexible drain hose. Ensure proper connection to your existing drainage point.

Prior to installation, undertake any necessary preparatory decoration such as plastering, painting, or tiling. Exercise caution when drilling or nailing into walls, ensuring awareness of any hidden obstacles

3. Tray/Tub

Place the shower tray in its final standing position. Adjust the screw legs that are positioned across the bottom of the tray until the tray is level. This should be checked using a spirit level. Once the tray is level tighten the locking nuts to secure the height of each leg.

4. Top and Side Panels

Move the tray out from the wall about 15-20 inches to allow access to all sides of the cabin during installation. The order of panel placement should follow the specific shower installation instructions. Place sealant between each adjoining panel and also between each panel and the tray. Use the bolts supplied to firmly affix each panel together. Once all acrylic and glass panels have been secured the top piece can be placed onto the side panels. Use the bolts/screws supplied to firmly secure the top piece to the side panels.

5. Connecting Pipes and Wires

Connect the pipes and wires that adjoin various components of the steam shower. The overhead fan, lights, and speakers are powered from the main control box, with each wire labeled and equipped with matching connectors from the control box. Ensure the 12V DC wires are securely plugged together.

Additionally, the shower will feature water pipes leading to the overhead shower and body jets from the 3-way thermostatic valve. Connect these pipes to the corresponding connectors and tighten them using metallic pipe clips and a Phillips screwdriver.

6. Connect Water, Electrics & Drainage

Please check that the water supplies are balanced and at an adequate pressure. The steam showers come with stainless steel flexible hose lines in the back of the unit just like a house washing machine and will connect similar to a washing machine at your home.

Connect the dedicated 220V/110V power lines either directly to your breaker box or plug them into an outlet in the room. It is important that the ground wire is connected to a grounding point in the bathroom or the metal framing of the shower. The installer will be able to advise about correct grounding of the steam shower. Finally, connect the flexible drain hose into your bathroom’s floor waste point and seal as necessary. Keep in mind that the drain is a flexible hose and you do have room to move it around underneath the tub/pan as well.

7. Sealant

Typically, you should now place a bead of white or clear sealant between the adjoining side panels. Sealant should also be placed between the side panels and the tray to stop any water running along any seams and over the edge of the shower tray.

Once sealant has been applied and allowed to dry, the steam shower should be tested for water tightness. Use the handheld shower to spray water against the water jets, all acrylic/glass panel fixing holes and along the join of all adjoining panels. Typically, it is not necessary to seal the top piece but this is left to the discretion of the installer. Check around the rear and sides of the steam shower to see whether any water has escaped and reseal where necessary. Also, the installer should check that all pipes and fittings are fully spanner tightened and not dripping any water.

Once the unit has been fully checked for water leaks and all electrical features such as lights, radio and steam tested then gently push the unit back into position.
