FOR THE SAFETY OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY OR CUSTOMERS, PLEASE READ THE  

FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR STEAMBATH. 

POST "STEAMBATH INSTRUCTIONS" LABEL OUTSIDE STEAMBATH FOR SAFETY WARNINGS. 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Electric Shock Hazard

 - High voltage exists within this equipment.  Disconnect all electrical power before 

servicing the generator.  All installation and service to this equipment should be performed by qualified 

licensed personnel in accordance with local and national codes.  There are no user serviceable parts in 

this equipment.   

 
Electrical  grounding  is  required  on  all  Waterworks  steam  generators.  The  generator  is  designed  for  hookup  with 
copper wire only, 167°F (75°C) or better. 
 
Wire  the  controls  exactly  as  described.  Do  not  connect  any  additional  wiring  or  power  supplies  to  the  controls  or 
their terminals in the generator. 
 
Service only by authorized personnel! 
 
All plumbing must be installed by a licensed plumber in accordance with all applicable local and national codes. 
 
Install indoors only.  Protect from freezing. Generator must be level side to side and end to end. 
 
The pressure relief valve and generator drain must be installed in such a fashion that the risk of scalding is reduced 
to a minimum. Draining these outlets into the steam room may present a scald hazard and may damage materials 
used to construct the room. 

 

Danger

 To reduce the risk of explosions, do not interconnect the steam lines! 

 

Caution 

The steam outlet carries hot vapor! A separate steam line is required for each steam outlet. 

Do not connect a valve or shut-off in the steam line!  Avoid traps and valleys in the steam line where 

water could collect and cause a steam blockage. The hot steam line must be insulated against user contact. 
 
Do not install the steam head near a bench or where steam may spray or where condensation will drip on the user 
as this will present a scald hazard. 
 
Be  certain  that  steambath  enclosures  are  properly  sealed  to  avoid  water  damage  from  escaping  steam.    It  is 
recommended  that  100%  silicone  caulk  be  used  to  seal  all  pipes  and  fittings.  Steam  must  be  prevented  from 
escaping into the wall cavity. Centering the steam pipe is critical in rooms made of plastic, acrylic, resin, fiberglass, 
or  similar  materials.  Allowing  the  steam  pipe  to  touch  materials  not  rated  240°F  (115°C)  or  higher  will  result  in 
damage to these materials.
