3.  CONTROLS 
 

All of the steam unit controls are a maximum 24 
volts and are protected by 2amp. fuses located 
on the electronic circuit board. The circuit board 
and the terminals for connecting the external 
controls are located in the left (low voltage) side 
of the main electrical connection box.  The 
circuit board controls: 

 

a.  steam boiling tank water level. 

 

b.  one of the boiling tank low water cutoffs. 

 

c.  the main heating element relay contactors. 

 

d.  the drain flush system. 

 

e.  a timer for the HI TEMP operating 

temperature air switch button. 

 

f.  use of either the time clock or remote switch. 

 
 

The wiring connections will be described later. 

 

4.  WATER SUPPLY 
 

The water supply connection to the steam 
generator must be according to local codes.  
The water supply line must be flushed to 
eliminate any construction debris prior to 
connecting to the steam generator. 

 

 

 

SEE “CAUTION  9"  on page 5. 

 

Commercial Relax-A-Mist steam generators are 
equipped with two fresh water systems; one for 
the normal steam operation and one for the 
drain flush system.  There are two 1/2" solenoid 
valves located on the back of the main electrical 
connection box on the steam generator (one for 
each system).  These two valves each have a 
1/2" copper pipe with a flared union stubbed 
out.  They can be connected together so a 
single shutoff can be installed or each can have 
its own shutoff. 
The “steam operation” water supply valve is 
connected to a 3/8" copper pipe which goes into 
the top of the boiling tank (left of center).  The 
"drain flush" water supply valve is connected to 
a 1/2" copper pipe with a trap, which goes into 
the top center of the boiling tank, between the 
steam pipes. 
If not already in the water system, a "water 
bumper" should be supplied and installed. 
 

 
The water supply should be analyzed to 
determine the presence of any minerals and/or 
other impurities that could coat, corrode, or 
impede the operation of the Relax-A-Mist water 
boiling tank interior.  If necessary, the water 
must be treated to offset any adverse condition 
which may arise, or the warranty may be null 
and void.  See GENERAL on page 1 and 
“CAUTION 6" on page 5.

DRAIN VALVES,  PIPING & FLUSH SYSTEM

 

There is a drain piping kit (with a union) that 
connects to the steam generator pipe marked 
“DRAIN”.  The two drain valves supplied with 
the commercial Relax-A-Mist are installed to/or 
on this piping kit. 
a. A 1" electric automatic drain valve that 

opens at the end of each day.  

b.  A 3/4" manual drain valve (installed to loop 

the electric valve - see illustration of drain 
valve piping kit) for use when manual 
draining is desired. 

The boiler is drained by gravity alone, so the 
drain system through the electric drain valve 
must not be less than 1".  The drain piping kit 
discharge union should be piped directly to a 
floor drain,(leave an air gap between drain pipe 
and floor drain).  The drain piping kit provides 
for the pressure relief loop connection.  See the 
illustration on the Component Description page. 

 

DRAIN VALVE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION  

 

The drain valve is 24 Volts A.C., and is 
connected to the terminal strips in the left side 
of the electrical box on the steam unit: 

     

 

 

a - Connect terminal #1 on the valve to 

terminal #1 in the control box. 

     

 

 

b - Connect terminal #2 on the valve to 

terminal #2 in the control box. 

     

 

 

c - Connect terminal #4 on the valve to 

terminal #4 in the control box.  

Note: See wiring diagram on the inside cover of 
 

  the low voltage connection box.
