STEAM GENERATOR LOCATION
The steam generator should be located in a ventilated area
outside of, but within 20 feet of the shower or steam room,
where the steam pipe can be installed without the possibility of a
steam trap. The steam generator may be placed under the floor,
in a closet, or any convenient location where it WILL BE LEVEL,
DRY, AND WILL NOT FREEZE in the winter. The steam generator
MUST be easily accessible should service be required in the
future. INSTALL THE STEAM GENERATOR WITH THE COPPER
STEAM PIPE COMING OUT OF THE TOP OF THE APPLIANCE
AND THE ELECTRICAL BOX FACING THE ACCESS! See Fig. 1.

(To and in the steam room)
The steam pipe must be a minimum of 1 inch I.D. rigid copper
and must be manifolded to two 3/4 inch pipes at the steam
generator OR at the area to be steamed. Installing the steam
pipe using the most direct or shortest route (WITHOUT
FORMING A STEAM TRAP) and with the fewest number of
elbows will, in most cases, maintain a lower pressure (less than

The Relax-A-Mist® steam diffusers use standard construction
materials, tools and methods. Depending on wall thickness,
custom sized nipples may need to be fabricated by the plumber
or purchased from a local hardware store. It is important to
install the steam diffusers in an area where a person cannot
be burned from the hot steam exiting the diffusers. The steam
diffusers were designed to be installed on a flat surface. During
the final installation, the steam diffusers supplied MUST be used.

CAUTION: There is to be NO RESTRICTION in the STEAM
PIPE BETWEEN the STEAM GENERATOR and the STEAM
DIFFUSERS that would in any way cause PRESSURE to
build in the STEAM GENERATOR. INSTALL the STEAM
DIFFUSERS 12 INCHES above the finished floor, in a
LOCATION where the STEAM WILL NOT BURN anyone.
TIMER SWITCH (Steam Generator Control)
The Quick Touch Timer can be located inside or outside the steam
room. If using the optional Time and Temperature Control, refer
to that control's installation instructions now. Relax-A-Mist®
timer switches are not precision timing devices. See CAUTION 11.
DRAIN VALVE OPTION (Ask Dealer For Details)
A 3/4 inch copper, female adapter (located below the water
supply connection), can be plumbed to a drain with either
a manual shut-off or an automatic drain valve installed at
the steam generator (purchased separately). See Fig. 2.
