TION INSTALLER:
Because
the steam head, faceplate and direct
steam emission are very hot, locate the
steam head and faceplate where
incidental contact by bather with the
steam head, faceplate or direct steam
emission cannot occur. Failure to
locate the steam head and faceplate
where incidental contact by bather
with the steam head, faceplate or
direct steam emission cannot occur
may result in personal injury.
Faceplate
The faceplate is a
decorative accessory. It is not required
for the functional operation of the
linear steam head. The faceplate is
available in (8) decorative finished to
match the bathroom décor.
STEP 1.
The steam head pre-installation is now complete.
The wall surfacing materials (cement board, tiles, marble, etc.)
can be installed. Leave a cut out in the surfacing materials
around the front of Linear Steam Head as shown. Make the cut
out as tight around the front of Linear Steam Head as
possible. (see Fig. 5)
STEP 2.
After the finished wall surface has been installed use
high temperature silicone around the steam outlet as required
to make a waterproof seal. Do not use grout in place of high
temperature silicone around the steam outlet. Using grout
may result in cracks and leaks causing property damage.
(see Fig. 4)
STEP 3.
Apply silicone (supplied) to the front of Linear Steam
Head. (see Fig. 5)
STEP 4.
Securely press Faceplate into the opening of Linear
Steam Head.
(see Fig. 5)
Step 5.
Apply silicone ( supplied ) in gap as shown in Fig 5,
between the steam head and the tile as required to create a
moisture seal. Failure to create a moisture seal may result in a
leak within the wall cavity and cause problems associated with
leaks, moisture and property damage from leaks.
STEP 6.
Grout tiles as required.
CAUTION
Failure to properly install Faceplate may result in
a leak within the wall cavity and cause problems associated
with leaks, moisture and property damage from leaks.
