Steam Head Installation
STEP 1.
Confirm proper stud spacing: The studs
must have a minimum spacing of 14-1/8" and a
maximum spacing 19". If the stud spacing is outside
the required range then shim or otherwise reposition
the studs as required.
Installing the steam head between
incorrectly spaced studs may result in damage to the
steam head and result in a leak within the wall cavity
and cause property damage.
STEP 2.
Locate the steam head 6-12" above the
finished floor. Locate the steam head where a steam
bather can not come into contact with direct steam
emissions. See page 6 for information on the steam
emission zone.
Steam is hot. Locate the steam head
where a steam bather can not come into contact
with direct steam emissions. Failure to follow these
directions may result in a hazardous condition,
scalding or personal injury.
STEP 3.
Position the steam head between 2
properly spaced studs. Extend the adjustable
brackets as required so the steam head fits snugly
between two studs. Use a level to ensure the steam
head is level (see Fig. 3). Tighten the eight bracket
adjustment screws (supplied).
STEP 4.
If the optional decorative faceplate is used,
see the installation instructions for the optional faceplate
on page 5. If the optional decorative faceplate is not used,
position the steam head so that the steam head face will be flush
with the finished wall face (see Fig. 4).
STEP 5.
With the stem head properly positioned, with or without a
decorative faceplate, provide eight screws as required to securely
mount the steam head brackets to the studs.
Failure to position the steam head face as instructed may
result in improper steam head alignment, or a leak within the wall cavity
and cause problems associated with leaks, moisture and property
damage from leaks.
STEP 6.
Plumb rigid copper tubing or brass pipe from the steam
generator to the steam head. Use a ¾" NPT fitting appropriate for the
steam piping used. Plumbing must not form traps or valleys. Thread
sealant must be used as required to ensure a leak free joint between
the piping and steam head.
STEP 7.
Before continuing or closing the wall, test the installation,
piping and steam head for leaks, traps, position, steam emission zone
and for general proper installation.
Failure to test the steam head installation may result in
leaks, and cause problems associated with leaks, moisture and property
damage from leaks.
