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.
