Install the Water Supply and Steam Lines (cont.)
NOTICE: Steam generators are equipped with an automatic shut-off. The water will stop after the unit is
full. If the water flows out of the steam outlet, shut off the water and consult the Troubleshooting Guide
or contact the Customer Care Center using the number located on the back of this document.
If the water supply lines exceed 10’ (3 m) or are exposed to cold areas, insulate the piping with
appropriate insulation.
Install the Steam Lines
WARNING: Risk of scalding. Do not locate the steam heads near a seat or bench or scalding may
occur upon contact with the steam head.
NOTICE: Never run the steam lines down, then up. Running the steam lines down and then up will
create a steam trap, blocking the flow of steam. Each steam line should run up to the steam head from the
generator, at a pitch of 3/8 (1 cm) to 1/2 (1.3 cm) per 12 (30.5 cm) of pipe.
NOTICE: Provide clearance between the back wall and the elbows leading into the steam housing. The
elbows must not contact any wall material.
NOTICE: Provide clearance between the steam lines and surrounding surfaces.
NOTICE: Do not apply excessive heat to the connections when soldering. Do not apply flux or acids
directly to the generators, as damage to the seals, plastic components, and trim finish may result. Do not
apply petroleum-based lubricants to generator components, as damage may result.
NOTE: For all the threaded connections, use thread sealant tape or pipe sealant. Do not overtighten the
fittings.
NOTE: Use 1/2 copper tube for the steam lines.
NOTE: Always install a union fitting as close to the steam generators as possible.
Add blocking behind the desired steam head locations.
Install and secure a 1/2 NPT elbow to the blocking directly behind each of the desired steam head
locations.
Cut a hole through the wall material to accept a temporary nipple for each steam head.
Add temporary 1/2 copper tube nipples.
