IMPORTANT:
1. All plumbing and electrical work must conform to local and national codes, regulations, and ordinances. Consultation with a professional plumber is
strongly recommended.
2. All power must be OFF to the steam generator unit when installing or servicing the unit.
3. Only authorized components, accessories, or products should be used and/or installed on the generator and its piping.
Pre-Installation:
The following general information should be used in conjunction with your architect, designer and contractor in providing a suitable and safe steam
room environment for the steam bathers.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the specification plate affixed to the cabinet of the steam bath generator.
A) Ensure that the model steam generator unit purchased is sized adequately for your steam room.
B) Be sure to have the proper electrical supply. Determine proper size of wire, voltage, amperage, and phase for the steam generator based on the
specification plate attached to the generator and the chart in the back of this manual (see page 22).
C) Provide an inline fuse/circuit breaker as required sized in accordance with specification chart.
D) Select a location to install the generator to allow sufficient room (See Access Area Requirements) for access to the unit in the event service is
required. Select a clean dry indoor location protected from freezing. Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline, thinners, paints, etc.
within 20 feet of the steam generator. Do not store corrosive materials such as chlorine within 20 feet of the steam generator.
E) Location of the steam generator should have an ambient temperature range within: 40ºF to 104ºF.
F) For safe low temperature draining (blow down) of the steam generator it may be necessary to drain into an ASME blow down tank. If required,
additional space for the tank will be necessary. The blow down process can potentially dump boiling water down the drain and damage the
drainage system. You should consult with your architect or a licensed plumber if you will require a blow down tank.
G) The steam generator should be located as close as possible to the steam room. If the steam generator is more than ten feet from the steam
head, insulate the steam pipe with appropriate pipe insulation rated for a minimum of 250ºF.
H) The serial number plate should be visible after installation.
I) The steam room must be completely sealed on all sides, top and bottom. Floor, walls, and ceiling should be completely covered with waterproof
material such as tile. Floor and bench materials must be slip resistant (see Safety Warnings on page 2).
J) Provide a floor drain inside the steam room for condensate run-off and steam room cleaning.
K) Only water tight lighting fixtures approved for the application should be used.
