• Plumbing must be installed by a qualified and licensed
plumber. Plumb with rigid copper tubing or brass pipe
from the generator to the steam head. Plumbing must not
form valleys or traps. The formation of a valley or trap
may cause the accumulation of condensate resulting poor
steam generation operation. The formation of a valley or
trap may cause the accumulation of condensate resulting
elevated pressure within the steam generator, resulting in
the release of pressurized steam and hot water from the
steam generator pressure release valve, causing a
hazardous condition, property damage and personal
injury.
The Linear steam head is supplied with an optional
diverter. The diverter is used to reduce the steam
emission zone. Always use the diverter if any steam
bather may come into contact with direct steam
emissions. Please contact MrSteam if a replacement
diverter is required. Failure to use a diverter to reduce
the steam emission zone as required to avoid contact
between a steam bather and direct steam emissions may
cause personal injury.
Never install, remove or adjust a diverter into the linear
steam head when the steam head is hot or if steam in
turned on. Installing, removing or adjusting a diverter
into the linear steam head when the steam head is hot or
if steam in turned on may cause a burn hazard and
personal injury.
• Plumbing without proper thread sealant may result in a
leak within the wall cavity and cause problems
associatedwith leaks, moisture and property damage from
leaks.
• DO NOT use black iron pipe or galvanized pipe for
thesteam line. Use brass pipe or copper tubing only, and
inaccordance with national and local plumbing codes.
STEP 6.
Run the steam generator for a few steam cycles
to observe and verify that the steam head, steam head
installation and plumbing are correct and free of leaks.
STEP 7.
Insulate steam line and steam head using
insulation rated 212°F or higher. Insulate the steam head
and piping as required to reduce temperatures within the
wall cavity. DO NOT locate the steam head or plumbing
near any materials, including wiring, devices, or products
that may be adversely affected by elevated temperatures.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in the failure
of materials, including wiring, devices, or products.
