Tools and Materials
Materials needed:
- SignaTouch control
- M8 cable
- Silicone
- Other materials as required
- 1-1/2″ Masonry Drill Bit
Installation options
Control Installation and Data Cable Connection
Installation with generator only
Route the M8 cable through the finished wall to the backside of the control.
(The other end of the cable runs to the steam generator location.) NOTE: It is
recommended to run the cable through an electrical conduit. DO NOT STAPLE the
cable!
Installation with one of or all, SLSR, Digital shower valve, and steam
generator.
DO NOT pinch, nail, staple, wedge, or bind the data cable.
DO NOT wrap the data cable around the 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 the
power on to the generator or PDM.
Connect the data cable to Power Distribution Module (PDM). (The other end of the cable runs to the back of the control in the shower location.)
Sealing Control
TEST THAT ALL CONNECTIONS ARE WORKING BEFORE SEALING THE CONTROL TO THE
WALL.
(Power on the control and see that it lights up).
Coat the entire back of the control 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.
A 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 a steam bath.

Steam Line and Steamhead
Now you will need to decide on the steam head placement in the shower so you
can run the steam line from the generator to the steam head. There are a
couple of things you need to know about the placement of the steam head and
steam line itself.
DO NOT install any valve in the steam line. The 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 steamed rough-in fitting
as permitted by code.
The steam line can run up and then down, once; or horizontal; but never run
down and then up. If it does, a steam trap will be produced at the low point
blocking the flow of steam.
Insulate the steam outlet piping if the piping run exceeds 10 feet or is
exposed to cold areas. Use steam-rated insulation.
Pitch/angle steam lines back towards generator before any up or downturns;
pitch/angle towards steam room after any up or down and avoid perfectly level
plumbed lines.
Steamhead Location
DO NOT install the steamed near the seating area or the user.
DO NOT forget to install the steam head rough-in fitting!
C Install the steam head 24″ from the floor or bathtub rim and 6″ from any
corner. Steamhead is to be mounted as far as possible from the 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 finished space) For new framing: Mount
and install rough-in fitting to be flush with the 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 steam head rough-in fitting. It is very important that the
pipe is firmly secured to the wall so that when the steam head is installed it
doesn’t push the rough-in fitting back into the wall. Install a 1/2” drop ear
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 overtighten 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 steam head into the housing. Use the
supplied silicone to adhere the steam head to the wall sealing out any water
from getting behind the head.
Upon final installation mount steamhead with facing up to allow aromatherapy
well to dispense steam.
For detailed installation instructions of the steam head, please see
Installation section on thermasol.com/customer-support
Final Pre-Check Before Operation
Turn ON the water supply to the generator. Check all the connections for
leaks.
Plugin 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 the generator to heat up steam.
