Flange Mounting
After base is in position secure flange to studs with
screws provided. If there is a gap between flange and
stud shims MUST be used.
Temperature Sensor Mounting
The temperature sensor should be mounted 6" below
the ceiling or dome, inside the steam room, but not
directly over the steam dispersion head or more than 7
feet above the floor. Using a 7/8" hole saw, drill a hole
in the finished wall where the sensor is to be mounted
(the sensor cable should already be roughed-in to this
location). Locate the sensor cable, pull it out through the
hole and plug it into the temperature sensor. It is best to
tape the sensor and cable connection together to avoid
disconnection inside the wall. Apply silicon caulk as
shown in diagram and insert the sensor in the hole. An
optional trim ring is included with the sensor. If the 7/8"
hole is jagged or is cut too large the trim ring may be used
to cover the exposed edges. Make sure that the sensor
probe is pointing down once installed. Tape the sensor
in place while the silicone hardens.

Finish Materials
Apply tile (or other finishing material) leaving a 1/8" gap
between the finishing material and the base flange lip.
Seal this gap with silicone sealant. Leave a minimum
1/4" weep hole at the back and front corners of the base .
The weep holes are necessary to allow drainage from
leakage through unsealed tiled grout.
Filling the area marked DO NOT FILL will prevent
moisture from draining back into the base through the
weep holes. This moisture is due to leakage through the
tile grout. Sealing the tile grout will prevent this leakage.
