Steam Head Installation (
1
⁄2" NPT)
IMPORTANT: Do not disassemble steamhead. Mr.Steam’s
steamhead is shipped fully assembled and requires no
additional assembly.
Because the steam head and direct
steam emissions are very hot, locate the steam head where
incidental contact by bather with the steam head or direct
steam emission cannot occur.
NOTE: A 1.5” clearance hole around the steam pipe is
needed to mount the steamhead.
STEP 1
Locate steam head 6-12 inches above floor, except for:
• Tub/shower enclosures, install 6 inches above tub top edge.
• For enclosures with acrylic or other non-heat resistant
flooring install Acrylic Shield Part Number MS-103938.
STEP 2
Install steamhead with the oil well facing up as shown. Hand
tightening is sufficient when teflon or equal pipe thread seal-
ing 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 steam-
head location. Use Acrylic Shield PN MS-103938. See instructions
provided with steam shield.
STEP 3
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 4
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
⁄4" from that dimension and select a brass nipple of that
length to finish the installation.
STEP 5
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.
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.
