Now you will need to decide on the steamhead placement in the shower so you can run the steam line from the generator to the
steamhead. There are a couple of things you need to know about the placement of the steamhead and steam line itself.

DO NOT
install any valve in the steam line. Flow of steam must
be unobstructed.
DO NOT
plumb any traps in the steam line.
The steam outlet on the generator requires a 1/2" brass
union for easy installation (not included).
Use 1/2” brass pipe or copper tubing from unit to
steamhead rough-in fitting as permitted by code.

The steam line can run up and then down, once; or horizontal;
but never run down and then up. If it does, a steam trap will
be produced at the low point blocking the flow of steam.
Insulate the steam outlet piping if the piping run exceeds 10 feet or
is exposed to cold areas. Use steam rated insulation.
Pitch/angle steam lines back towards generator before any up or
down turns; pitch/angle towards steam room after any up or down
and avoid perfectly level plumbed lines.
