INSTALLATION OF THE STEAM HEAD
(

NPT, PN 103937)
WITH ACRYLIC SHIELD
(PN 103938)
The Acrylic Shield (PN 103938) is for use when acrylic or other
non-heat resistant materials are used for the steamroom enclosure.
INSTALLER: Because the steam head and
direct steam emissions are very hot, locate the steam head where inci-
dental contact by bather with the steam head or direct steam emission
cannot occur.
IMPORTANT NOTE
:
These instructions are only for use in
installations using an Acrylic Shield (pur 103938).
Step 1
Locate steam head at least 12 inches from an adjacent wall or bench
and 6-12 inches above floor, except for tub/shower
enclosures, install 6 inches above tub top edge.
The steamhead shall be installed with the oil well facing up as shown.
Hand tightening is sufficient when teflon or equal pipe thread sealing
compound is used.
IMPORTANT NOTE
:
to preserve steam head finish, do not use
wrench or other tools to tighten. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or
chemicals. Use only water with mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge.
Consult with supplier of acrylic, fiberglass and other
non-heat resistant enclosures for recommended steamhead location.
Step 2
Secure a bronze drop ear fitting to a header and run a
1
⁄
2
” copper
steam line from the steam generator to the drop ear fitting. Install
a temporary nipple (6” or longer)in the drop ear fitting to locate the
steamhead after the wall is finished.
Step 3
After the wall has been finished, mark on the nipple where the surface
of the wall is. Remove the nipple and measure the portion that was in
the wall (the end to your mark). Subtract 1⁄8” from that dimension
and select a brass nipple of that length to finish the installation.
Step 4
Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the new nipple and screw the
nipple into the steamhead. Do not use wrenches or tools which would
damage the steamhead’s finish.
Slide the acrylic shield onto the nipple-steamhead assembly
so the steam head sits in the acrylic shield.
Apply clear silicone in the groove on the back of the acrylic shield.
Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the nipple and screw the nipple
and steamhead assembly you just made into the drop ear fitting in the
wall. The steamhead should be flush with the wall and the well must
be facing up. The acrylic shield will be sandwiched between the wall
and steam head.
