Unpacking and Securing the Unit
Upon receipt of the equipment, verify the packaging and unit are received in
good order. Inspect the pipe connections and electrical unions to ensure they
are securely connected. Vibrations during shipment can loosen the pipes and
electrical fittings.
Using a forklift, lift the unit from the rear (opposite the shower room doors). The
load must be balanced and transported low to the ground. Use care to prevent
damage to decals or hardware on the unit.
If you are lifting the unit with a cherry picker or crane, spreader bars and slings
are recommended to prevent cracking the side walls.
To unpack and secure the unit:
1. Remove the ½" lag bolts from the mounting brackets that were used to
secure the unit to the wooden pallet.
2. Using a forklift, carefully insert the forklift prongs between the wooden skid
runners and lift the building off of the wooden pallet.
3. Place the building at the desired location for installation. Set the unit on a
pad, structural grate, or other suitable surface. Carefully and slowly remove
the forklift prongs.
4. Bolt the unit down using U-clamps (steel grate) or bolts (concrete) through
the pad eyes.

Connecting the Drain
Therma-Flow
®
Plus may require a drain pipe that will accommodate a 3” I.D. PVC
drain fitting extension for Right or Left Drain, or a 3” I.D. or 4” O.D. for a Center
Drain.
An external drainage system should be designed for a zero PSI drop gravity
drain with a 30 GPM (113.5 LPM) flow rate.
Ensure the drain connection is:
• Free flowing.
• Freeze protected (if applicable to the environment).
• Meets local and federal codes regarding water drainage.
Also consider that the water runoff may contain a substance or material which
may have the potential to cause harm to the environment. Choose an
appropriate location to drain the runoff according to the type of hazard being
irrigated.
