ROOM IN COMMERCIAL INSTALLATIONS. 

 

SECTION  1:  GENERAL  INFORMATION 

 

Waterworks’ steam generators are tested by Intertek-ETL Laboratory. The steam generators come assembled and ready for 
installation. Check that the size and rating of the generator is suitable for your application, refer to the Steam Room Construction 
and Generator Guide (Waterworks doc. 4211-36). 
 
These steamers may be connected as a ganged system where one steamer controls one or two other steamers. Bath controls 
connect to the primary steamer and the primary steamer connects to the second steamer (and third steamer, if installed). This 
provides more power for large rooms and light commercial use. 

See appendix to this document for details. 

We recommend 

choosing steamers which are closely matched in power. The highest kW steamer should be the primary unit. Each steamer 
should have its own automatic drain.  
 
For commercial use, we recommend checking with your local inspectors to confirm the steamer system is acceptable for your 
use. Many jurisdictions will require an ASME boiler for commercial use: WATERWORKS steamers are not boilers. 
 

Note

: These steamers may be configured for single or three phase power during installation. 

 

IMPORTANT 

An exhaust fan installed outside the steam room is strongly  
recommended to remove excess steam from the bathroom or  
shower area.

 

 

 
 

          CAUTION 

 

 

Electrical grounding is required on all 

WATERWORKS Steam bath Generators. 

 

All electrical supplies should be 

disconnected when servicing generator. 

 

All wiring must be installed by a licensed 

electrical contractor in accordance with 

local and national codes. 

 

All plumbing must be installed by a 

licensed plumber in accordance with all 

applicable local and national codes. 

 

Steam generators are 

for indoor use only. 

 

Steam generators are not for 

space heating purposes. 

 

Be certain that steam bath enclosures 

are properly sealed to avoid water 

damage from escaping steam. It is 

recommended that 100% silicone caulk 

be used to seal all pipes and fittings. 

Steam must be prevented from escaping 

into the wall cavity. 

 

Never shut off the water to a 

steam generator that is in use. 

 

Electric Shock Hazard - High voltage 

exists within this equipment.  There 

are no user serviceable parts in this 

equipment.
