SECTION 3: PLUMBING INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
4. INSTALL STEAM HEAD:
Slide the steam head on until it rests firmly
against the finished wall. Tighten the hex head screw underneath the
steam head to secure it in place with the Allen wrench provided. The
steam head should be level with its fragrance reservoir at the top. See
Diagrams 4 and 6.
IMPORTANT
All fixture holes must be sealed with 100% silicon caulk
to avoid moisture damage within walls
.
Check all of the
standard fixtures in the steam room.
5. INSTALL PRESSURE RELIEF SAFETY VALVE:
Install the pressure relief valve into its port on the generator.
Install the safety valve within 6” (150) mm of the generator. Run a 3/4" copper line from the valve to a gravity flow
drain. The pressure relief valve outlet must drain in accordance with local and national codes.
AUTODRAIN
All generators must have a drain valve installed to
allow draining the tank for cleaning and maintenance. A manual
ball valve is supplied. An electronic ball valve is available in the
ADK Autodrain option. When installed, Autodrain automatically
rinses and empties the steam tank approximately 25 minutes
after a steam bath stops. This cleans the tank to reduce problems
caused by poor water quality and ensures every steam bath
starts with clean, fresh water.

6. INSTALL DRAIN VALVE:
Install 3/4" NPT pipe nipple directly
into the tank as shown in Diagram 7. Install a 3/4" ball valve or an
Autodrain on the nipple then add another nipple to the outlet of
the valve. Add a union to the outlet nipple to allow easy discon-
nection during servicing. Run a 3/4" copper line from the union to a gravity flow drain. The drain must be connected
in
accordance with local and national codes.
