Steam Piping
End of pipe to be recessed
1/4"
(
without Acrylic Shield
)
1/8"
(
with Acrylic Shield)
1/8" minimum clearance required
when Acrylic Shield is used.
See installation instructions provided
with the Acrylic Shield.
Apply with silicone or equal
sealant as required for
moisture seal.
Use Teflon

or
equal sealant on
pipe threads
A 1
1
⁄
2
" clearance hole around the steam pipe is
needed to mount the steamhead.
STEP 1
Locate steam head 6-12 inches above floor, except for:
1. Tub/shower enclosures, install 6 inches above tub top edge.
2. For enclosures with acrylic or other non-heat resistant
flooring install Acrylic Shield Part Number 103938.
3.To prevent door seals from deteriorating do not locate
the steam head where direct steam emission would contact
door seals.
4. To reduce noise, do not locate steamhead within 12" from
a wall.
STEP 2
Install steamhead with the oil well facing up as shown. Hand
tightening is sufficient when teflon or equal pipe thread sealing
compound is used.
STEP 3
Secure a bronze drop ear fitting to a header and run
1
⁄
2
" copper
steam piping from the steam generator to the drop ear
fitting. Install a temporary nipple (6" or longer) in the drop ear
fitting to locate the steamhead after the wall is finished.
STEP 4
After the wall has been finished, mark on the nipple where the
surface of the wall is. Remove the nipple and measure the
portion that was in the wall (the end to your mark). Subtract
1
⁄
4
"
from that dimension and select a brass nipple of that length to
finish the installation.
STEP 5
Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the new nipple and screw
the nipple into the steamhead. Do not use wrenches or tools which
would damage the steamhead's finish. Wrap teflon tape around
the threads of the nipple and screw the nipple and steamhead
assembly you just made into the drop ear fitting in the wall.
The steamhead should be flush with the wall and the well must
be facing up.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
DO NOT disassemble steamhead.
MrSteam’s steamhead is shipped fully assembled and requires
no additional assembly.
To preserve steam head finish, DO NOT use wrench or other
tools to tighten. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or chemicals.
Use only water with mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge.
Because the steam head and direct steam
emissions are very hot, locate the steam head where incidental
contact by bather with the steam head or direct steam emission
cannot occur.
Consult with supplier of acrylic, fiberglass and other non-heat
resistant enclosures for recommended steamhead location.
Use Acrylic Shield PN 103938 (round) or PN 103938SQ (square).
See instructions provided with steam shield.
