• Do not use black, galvanized or PVC pipe.
Water Supply (3/8” NPT)
1.
Connect hot or cold water line. Hot water line is preferable. Hot water should not exceed 160° F.
2.
Provide a shut off valve in the supply line.
3.
Do not overheat inlet solenoid valve with solder connections. Overheating will damage parts.
4.
Flush inlet water line thoroughly before making connection to unit.
5.
Strainer is required if there are solid particles in the water.

For best performance water pressure should be 15 to 20 psig.
7.
Provide anti-water hammer device as required.
Steam Outlet ( 1/2” NPT)
1.
Do not install a valve in steam line. Flow of steam must be unobstructed.
2.
Use 1/2-inch brass or copper pipe from unit to steam head.
3.
Insulate steam line using pipe insulation rated 250° F or higher.
4.
Pitch steam line to avoid valleys and trapping of condensate.
5.
Pitch steam line 1/4” per foot towards steam head or steam generator.
Steam Head
1.
Locate steam head 6 to 12 inches from floor, except:
• For tub/shower enclosures, install steam head 6 inches above tub top ledge.
• When used in shower stall with acrylic or other non-heat resistant floors,
install steam head 20-30 inches from floor or use a steam shield MS-103412.

Hand tightening is sufficient when Teflon or equal pipe thread sealing compound is used.
5.
Locate steamhead as required to prevent accidental contact with steam.
Drain (1/2” NPT)

A drain valve is provided to facilitate servicing.
Where local codes permit, provide a drain line connection from steambath generator drain valve. Check local
plumbing code for receptor, trap and vent requirements. Unit drains by gravity.
