Amerec Steam Generators are listed by ETL. The steamers come assembled and ready for installation. Check
that the size and rating of the steamers are suitable for your application; refer to Steam Room Construction and
Generator Sizing Guide (Amerec document 4211-36).
Amerec AK Steam Systems consist of one AK steamer acting as a “primary” steamer which may control one or
two other AK steamers. The sole purpose of ganging steamers is to increase the volume of steam generated
without using multiple controls. The primary steamer controls the secondary steamer(s) through an Amerec
control cable. Cables are available from Amerec.
All controls must connect only to the primary steamer!
IMPORTANT
An exhaust fan installed outside the steam room is strongly recommended to remove excess steam
from the bathroom or shower area.
