Locating th Mr.St am®G n rator
Select a location as near as practical to the steam room.
Typical locations include: closet, vanity cabinet, heated attic or basement.
1 . ocate steambath generator within 50 feet of steam room. Note: The standard
length of the cable for connecting the control to the steam generator is 30 feet.
The steam generator and control must be located accordingly. A 60 foot cable
(PN 103990-60) is available as a special order part.
2.DO NOT install steambath generator inside steam room.
3.DO NOT install steambath generator outdoors or wherever environmental
conditions may affect the safety and/or performance of the generator.
4.DO NOT install steambath generator or plumbing lines in
unheated attic or any locations where water could freeze.
5.DO NOT install steambath generator near flammable or
corrosive materials or chemicals such as gasoline, paint thinners,
or the like. Installation in areas having high concentrations of
chlorine (such as pool equipment room) must be avoided.
6.Install steambath generator on a solid and level surface.
Keyhole slots are provided for wall mounting. Insure the
steam generator is properly secured and level when
mounting with keyhole slots.
7.Install steambath generator in an upright position only.
Install a pressure reducing valve to limit supply to 15-20 PSIG
8.Install anti-water hammer device as necessary.
9.Provide a minimum of (12) inches at both ends and top of the steam
generator or as required for servicing.
For Illustrative purposes only. Consult with qualified designer,
architect or contractor for steamroom construction details.

1. Connect hot or cold water line. Hot water
line is preferable, however hot water
should not exceed 160˚ F.
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 if necessary.
7. Provide anti-water hammer device as
required.
8. As required by local codes, install an
approved backflow preventer.

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 250˚ 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 steamroom
is required to mount the steamhead.

Operation
The optional AutoFlush System feature automatically drains the
Mr.Steam®system following each use. A time delay allows the water
to cool down (about two hours) before it drains by gravity for a safe
and gentle operation.
NOTE: If the Express Steam option has been installed, the AutoFlush
will drain for ten minutes then refill with fresh water to begin the
pre-heat cycle.
Installation Instructions
1. Plumbing to be performed by a qualified plumber and shall be in
accordance with applicable national and local codes. Unit drains
by gravity. A drain line that is lower than the AutoFlush assembly
must be available. The AutoFlush System valve outlet is threaded

Installing th T mpo®or T mpo/Plus®Control
1. Firmly connect the connector to the control.
Turn on power to the steam generator and test
the control to verify correct connections. Test
per instructions. Proceed with installation and
verification of proper control function.
IMPORTANT: Turn power to the steam generator
OFF before installing the control. Failure to turn
the power off will result in an inoperable control.
2. Remove & discard peel-off paper to expose
adhesive liner
3. Run a bead of silicone (provided) as shown to
the C shaped groove.
IMPORTANT: Do not apply excessive amounts of
silicone. Do not apply silicone to any other parts
of the control including the adhesive gasket.
4. Insure the mounting surface is clean and dry
as required for good adhesion. Apply silicone
into the hole in the wall as required to create
a moisture seal. Hold the control with the ED
display in the 12 o'clock position and press
the control against the wall until the adhesive
sticks and holds firmly as shown above.
