8

DO NOT 

install the steamhead near the seating area or the user.

DO NOT 

forget to install the steamhead rough-in fitting! 

 Install the steamhead 24" from the floor or bathtub rim 

and 6" from any corner.

Steamhead is to be mounted as far as possible from 
typical bathing position (seated or standing) and installed 
as far from the in-shower controller as possible.

For retrofit to existing finish wall: 

Drill a 1-1/8" diameter hole in the shower wall or wall above 
bathtub rim for the steam outlet rough-in fitting and install 
to be flush with the finished wall. this housing must be 
sealed to the wall to not allow vapor or water behind it. 
(plumbing must be done from backside of 

 

finshed space)

 

For new framing: 

Mount and install rough-in fitting to be 

flush with finished wall.

Connect a 1/2" NPT brass pipe or copper tubing to
the steam outlet union (not included) on the generator

running the pipe to the steam head location in the wall

to connect with the steamhead rough-in fitting. It is very

important that the pipe is firmly secured to the wall, so

that when the steamhead is installed it doesn’t push the

rough-in fitting back into the wall. Install a 1/2” dropear
elbow on the end of the 1/2” pipe or tubing for the
rough-in fitting. 

Use the installation tool to tighten the housing in place  

with a 1" socket and driver. Then insert the protective cap 

into the housing.

For all the connections, use solder for copper joints and 
Teflon tape for pipe fittings and do not over tighten fittings. 
DO NOT USE PVC CEMENT.
