The Insignia steam generator can be hung on a wall or sit on a base. The best
mounting location will satisfy all or most of the following:
1)
The steam line should slope to allow condensation to drain.
Condensation should drain into the steam room.
2)
The steam line
MUST
have a minimum of 200mm of straight pipe
directly from the output of the steam generator prior to adding any
bends. Failure to follow this will result in the steam backing up in to the
generator and can cause failure.
3)
The steam line should be less than twenty feet long. Ten feet is
preferred. Steam lines should be insulated.
4)
The mounting location should minimize the number of bends and
elbows in the steam line.
5)
The generator should be installed in a dry, well ventilated area.
Suggested locations are under a vanity, in a closet, attic, crawl space or
basement.
6)
The mounting location should allow for a drain hook up.
7)
The generator must be mounted in a minimum 7 cubic foot space.
8)
The generator should not be mounted in an area subject to freezing.
9)
NEVER
reduce the steam line size from
3/4”
Wall Mounting:
1.
Note the location of the mounting holes on the back of the generator. The
screws must set directly into studs or equivalent supports.
2.
Carefully hang the generator on the two screws on it
’
s own mounting
brackets. Tighten the screws. Replace the front cover. Secure the front cover
with six screws.
Very important!
The steam generator
MUST
be installed to allow air circulation on all 4 sides.
For example allow a minimum 10cm from any obstruction and not covered
in. Please see example on page 12 how to wall mount allowing ventilation
around the unit.
NEVER
obstruct the fan, this is for cooling the unit and will
operate every time the steam generator is operational.
Floor Mounting:
1.
In general the width of the unit allows it to sit on a shelf, across the ceiling
joists or on a floor. The generator must be restrained from moving. Normally
the piping will provide adequate support. If not, additional support must be
provided.
2.
All floor installed generators must have provision for routine draining of
the tank.
