STEP 1.
Locate the steam head 6-12” above
the finished floor.
STEP 2.
Confirm proper stud spacing: The
studs must have a minimum spacing of 25-1/8”
and a maximum spacing 25-1/4". 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 3.
Position the steam head so that the
steam head face will end up flush or 1/8” proud
with the finished wall surface. (see fig. 4) Install
four screws in the horizontal slotted mounting
holes.
Failure to position the steam head
face or faceplate to be flush or extended 1/8”
from the finished wall surface may result in a leak
within the wall cavity and cause problems
associated with leaks, moisture and property
damage from leaks.
STEP 4.
Position steam head between 2
appropriately spaced studs. Use a level to ensure
the steam head is level (see Fig. 3). Install four
screws in mounting holes to secure the steam
head to the studs.
STEP 5.
Plumb rigid copper tubing or brass
pipe from the steam generator to the steam
head. 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 6.
Before continuing or closing the wall
test the installation, piping and steam head for
leaks.
Failure to test the steam head
installation may result in leaks, and cause
problems associated with leaks, moisture and
property damage from leaks.
