Steamhead Installation
1.
Drill a 1.5” diameter hole in the shower wall or wall for the steam outlet line, (Refer to Figure 1a) as a
guide for the proper location of the hole.
♦
Caution: The steamhead is hot! And should not be located near a seat or bench!
2.
Connect 1” F.I.P. copper pipe or copper tubing and 1” brass union onto the steam outlet. Run a 1”
copper pipe from the union to the 1.5” hole in wall. Install a 1” M.I.P. on the end of the 1” pipe for the
steamhead.
3.
Attach the steamhead and escutcheon to the copper pipe.
CAUTION: Do not obstruct the steam line with any shut-off valves, plugs or caps. ALL
Thermasol steam generators are designed to build NO PRESSURE.
♦
The steam line can run up, down, or horizontal; but cannot 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.
NOTE: Use steam rated insulation.
NOTE: DO NOT mount sensor near steamhead!
