INSTALLATION
PLUMBING
All plumbing shall be performed by a qualified licensed plumber and
in accordance with applicable National and local codes.
1. Use unions on all pipe connections.
2. Use only brass piping or copper tubing as permitted by codes.
3
. DO NOT use black, galvanized, PVC pipe or PEX.
WATER SUPPLY (
3
⁄
8
" NPT)
1. Connect to cold water line.
2. Provide a shut off valve in the water supply line upstream of the steambath generator.
3. DO NOT overheat inlet solenoid valve with solder connections. Overheating will damage parts.
4. Flush inlet water line thoroughly before making connection to unit.
5. Strainer recommended upstream of feed water connection.
6. For best performance water pressure should be 15 to 20 psig. Reduce pressure as required.
7. Provide anti-water hammer device as required.
8. Install an approved backflow preventer as required by local codes.
DRAIN (
1
⁄
2
" NPT)
The drain from the generator should not share an undersink trap, unless the generator is
mounted higher than the sink to prevent damage to the generator if the drain backs up.
NOTE: A drain valve is provided to facilitate servicing. Provide a drain line connection from steambath
generator drain valve according to National and local Codes. Check local plumbing code for receptor, trap
and vent requirements. Do not connect Drain line and Safety Valve line together. Unit drains by gravity.
DO NOT connect the drain valve to the steam line
STEAM OUTLET (
1
⁄
2
" NPT)
1. DO NOT install any valve in steam line. Flow of steam must be unobstructed.
2. Use 1/2-inch brass pipe or copper tubing from unit to steam head as permitted by codes.
3. Insulate steam line using pipe insulation rated 212° F or higher.
4. Pitch steam line 1/4" per foot towards steam head or steam generator to avoid valleys and trapping of
condensate.
NOTE: Running the steam line down and then up will create a steam trap blocking the flow of steam.
NOTE: A 1.5" hole in the steam room is required to mount the steamhead.
SAFETY VALVE (
3
⁄
4
" NPT)
Where permitted by local codes, provide an outlet plumbing connection for safety valve.
To insure proper and automatic safety valve operation: DO NOT connect a shut off valve
or a plug at safety valve outlet. DO NOT connect a shut off valve or any obstruction in steam supply pipe.
DO NOT connect the safety-valve output into the steam line.
DRIP PAN
Mr. Steam strongly recommends the use of a drip pan in the unlikely event of a plumbing leak. Check local
plumbing codes for receptor, trap and vent requirements. Drip pans drain by gravity. The drip pan is
equipped with an integral
3
/
4
" fitting. See page 15 for additional drip pan installation information .
AROMASTEAM
If the optional AromaSteam Electronic Oil Delivery System (
PN
:
MS AROMA
) is to be installed, a 90 degree T
plumbing fitting must be installed at a designated location on the steam outlet line. See the Mr.Steam
AromaSteam Operation and Instruction Manual (
PN
: 100402) for installation information before the steam
line is installed at the technical downloads section of www.mrsteam.com
