Insignia 6/9 KW Series Installation and Service
Do not mount outdoors.
Protect from freezing.
Unit must be located as to allow
access for service.
The generator will not operate
properly, unless it is mounted level
with the arrows pointed up.
Do not put a shut off valve in the
steam line. Avoid traps and valleys
where water could collect and cause a
steam blockage. The hot steam line
must be insulated against user
contact.
Centering the steam pipe is critical in
rooms made of plastic, acrylic, resin,
fiberglass or similar materials.
Allowing the steam pipes to touch
materials not rated for 212 degrees
Fahrenheit or higher will result in
damage to these materials.
Do not install the steam head near
bench(es) or where steam may spray
or where condensation will drip on
the user as this will present a scald
hazard.
The steam pipe entry and any other
entry into the steam room must be
caulked to avoid damage caused by
steam leakage into the wall.
WARNING
All plumbing shall be installed by a licensed plumber and conform with local & national codes.
Materials (locally available):
- 15mm copper tube for the water supply to the generator.
- 15mm water supply shut-off valve.
- 22mm x 3/4” male connector
- 22mm x 3/4” female connector
- 22mm copper tube for the steam line between the steam generator and the steam room.
- 15mm copper pipe/flexible hose for the tank drain.
- Silicone
- Pipe compound.
- 90 degree copper bend(s). The amount depends on the exact run required to meet the require-
ments of the room setup.
IMPORTANT - Maximum recommend input water pressure not to exceed 100 PSI.
Run 15mm copper tube between the nearest cold water line and the WATER INLET fitting on the
generator. Next locate a shut-off valve near the generator. Connect this line to the generator with
a 15mm compression adapter. When tightening this fitting always use two wrenches so there will
be no strain on the water inlet valve.
IMPORTANT!
If the generator is mounted in a place difficult for the owner to access, the water supply
shut- off valve should be located where it can be quickly accessed in an emergency.

WaterRequirements
A. At the generator: Install a 22mm x 3/4” Male connector directly on to the steam tank.
B. Run the 22mm copper steam line from the generator to the steam room. Refer to DIAGRAM 2:
SELECT MOUNTING LOCATION.
C. The steam line should enter the steam room 12" above the floor or at least 6" above a tub rim
or ledge. See diagram 1.
D. At the steam room: Drill/prepare a 40mm hole for the steam line entry. Centre the 22mm
copper steam pipe in the 40mm hole. See diagram 5. - Terminate the steam line with a 22m x 3/4"
female connector.
Once the steam line is fully installed it is a good idea to cover the pipework with pipe lagging.
IMPORTANT
If the steam line is in an area where the temperature will be below 40 degrees Fahrenheit or if the
line is more than 20 feet long, best results can be obtained by insulating the steam pipe.
INSTALL STEAM HEAD INSULATOR: Apply silicone to the finished wall side of the steam head
insulator and screw on hand tight until it is flush with the wall with the opening pointing down. If a
hand tight fit does not align with the opening pointing down, use PTFE tape on the steam line
threads to adjust the fit.
