Dimensional Information

NOTE: Drawings are for illustrative purposes only. Consult with a qualified designer, architect or contractor for steam room construction.

Steam Head Installation

• STEP 1. Confirm proper stud spacing: The studs must have a minimum spacing of 14-1/8” and a maximum spacing 19″. If the stud spacing is outside the required range then shim or otherwise reposition the studs as required.
  • Installing the steam head between incorrectly spaced studs may result in damage to the steam head and result in a leak within the wall cavity and cause property damage.
• STEP 2. Locate the steam head 6-12” above the finished floor. Locate the steam head where a steam bather can not come into contact with direct steam emissions. See page 6 for information on the steam emission zone.
  • Steam is hot. Locate the steam head where a steam bather can not come into contact with direct steam emissions. Failure to follow these directions may result in a hazardous condition, scalding or personal injury.
• STEP 3. Position the steam head between 2 properly spaced studs. Extend the adjustable brackets as required so the steam head fits snugly between two studs. Use a level to ensure the steam head is level . Tighten the eight bracket adjustment screws (supplied).
• STEP 4. If the optional decorative faceplate is used, see the installation instructions for the optional faceplate on page 5. If the optional decorative faceplate is not used, position the steam head so that the steam head face will be flush with the finished wall face.
• STEP 5. With the stem head properly positioned, with or without a decorative faceplate, provide eight screws as required to securely mount the steam head brackets to the studs.
  • Failure to position the steam head face as instructed may result in improper steam head alignment, or a leak within the wall cavity and cause problems associated with leaks, moisture and property damage from leaks.
• STEP 6. Plumb rigid copper tubing or brass pipe from the steam generator to the steam head. Use a ¾” NPT fitting appropriate for the steam piping used. Plumbing must not form traps or valleys. Thread sealant must be used as required to ensure a leak free joint between the piping and steam head.
• STEP 7. Before continuing or closing the wall, test the installation, piping and steam head for leaks, traps, position, steam emission zone and for general proper installation.
  Failure to test the steam head installation may result in leaks, and cause problems associated with leaks, moisture and property damage from leaks.

NOTE: Drawings are for illustrative purposes only. Consult with qualified designer, architect or contractor for steam room construction.

Optional Faceplate Installation

The steam head is supplied with an optional faceplate. It is not required for the functional operation of the steam head. The faceplate is a decorative accessory and is available in (8) finishes. An optional Escutcheon (remodel plate) is available for purchase, it’s larger than faceplate and is available in (8) finishes. In STEP 4, instead of positioning the steam head face to be flush with the finished wall face, position the steam head so that the steam head face will be 1/8” recessed with the finished wall. This will provide clearance for the faceplate. Apply silicone to the front of Linear Steam Head and firmly press the faceplate against the face of the steam head. Secure the faceplate as required until the silicone sets. Return to STEP 5 on page 4 to complete the installation.

1. Determine the desired installation location of the control. The iSteam®, iTempo™, and Tiempo/Plus™ controls are designed to be installed inside or outside the steam room as a matter of personal preference. If the control is installed inside the steam room the control must be located:
2. 4-5 feet above the floor near the bather seating area
3. The control features an integral temperature sensor. Locate the control in a location representative of the desired steam bathing temperatures. Do not locate the control above or near the steam head or direct steam emissions.
4. On a vertical wall, The control cable length is 30 feet. Ensure that the control and/or steam generator are located accordingly. An optional 60-foot cable is available, PN 103990-60 for Tiempo and PN 104117-60 for iSteam. Contact a MrSteam technical service representative if a 60-foot cable is required.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the control is installed outside the steam room a Remote Temperature Probe Part Number MSTS must be installed inside the steam room, depending on the control. Insure MrSteam steam generator is iSteam or Tiempo compatible and has a serial number 900000 or higher. If iSteam is used with a generator having serial numbers less than 1174000, contact MrSteam technical support for an upgraded PC board. See instructions for the MSTS Temperature Probe (located in the Control Installation Manual related to your specific control package) before rough-in or installation of control.

Steam Emission Zone

The Steam Emission Zone is the area in front of the steam head that contains dense, hot steam as it exits the steam head. Steam dissipates as it moves away from the steam head, and becomes less hot. The steam zone is the area where contact with steam presents a scalding hazard. The steam head must be installed in a location to ensure that a steam bather will not be near the steam emission zone. The diverter reduces the steam emission zone.

Steam Head without Optional Diverter

Steam Head with Optional Diverter

• The steam emission zone may vary with each installation. Always test the steam emission zone to ensure safety.

NOTE: Drawings are for illustrative purposes only. Consult with a qualified designer, architect, or contractor for steam room construction.

Diverter
The Linear SteamHead is supplied with an optional steam diverter. The steam diverter is used to reduce the steam emission zone as required to avoid contact between a steam bather and direct steam emissions. Supplied steam diverter does not have a decorative finish. Steam diverters with decorative finish are available for purchase. Always use the diverter if any steam bather may come into contact with direct steam emissions. Contact MrSteam if a replacement diverter is required. Failure to use a diverter to reduce the steam emission zone as required to avoid contact between a steam bather and direct steam emissions may cause personal injury. Because direct steam is very hot, the diverter will be hot during the steam session and will remain hot for a period of time after the steam session. Never install, remove or adjust a diverter when the steam head is hot or if the steam generator is turned on. Installing, removing, or adjusting the diverter when the steam head is hot or if the steam generator is turned on may cause a burn hazard and personal injury. The optional diverter reduces the steam emission zone by redirecting steam up the wall above the steam head ( see page 6 ). Installation of the diverter may result in the following:

• Changes to the steam distribution in the room
• Increase the temperature of the wall and devices above the steam head
• Surface condensation patterns on the walls and ceiling
  Always test the diverter to ensure proper safety, installation, and comfort.

STEP 1. Securely press the two rubber extensions into the opening of the Linear Steam Head and push in firmly until the diverter is securely in place .

aromatherapy
The aromatherapy is for use with MrSteam Essential Oils. Place a few drops of Essential Oils in the AromaTray as shown to provide a fragrant steam bath experience. Read the instructions provided with the MrSteam Essential oils to ensure a pleasant and safe aromatic steam bathing experience.

• Steam emissions, the linear steam head, and AromaTray will all be hot during a steam bath session and will remain hot for a period of time after the steam bath session. To avoid contact with the steam head and steam emissions, never install the AromaTray during a steam bath session or for a period of time after the steam bath session. Touching the AromaTray during a steam bath session, or for a period of time after the steam bath session, may result in burns, scalding, or personal injury.
• Failure to first read the instructions provided with the MrSteam Essential oils may result in personal injury. If you do not have the instructions provided with the MrSteam Essential oils please call MrSteam customer or technical at 80076STEAM for a free copy, or go online at www.mrsteam.com.
