The Steamist SMS Generator comes factory
assembled carefully wired and tested.
Warning: All electrical power should be turned OFF
when working with the steam generator
Important: The plumbing installation must conform
to local and national code of practice
1.Pre-Installation
a) Be sure that the proper size Steam Generator has
been selected by using the sizing page in the “The
Generator Sizing Guide”
CAUTION: An improperly sizes Steam Generator may
Not produce the amount of steam necessary to reach
selected temperature
b) For optimum performance, the Steam Generator
should be located as close as possible to the
Steamroom, Shower or tub enclosure using a ¾”
copper pipe (1/2” acceptable on 4.5kW) If the steam
pipe exceeds 3 meters, it should be insulated using
appropriate pipe insulation rated for minimum of 100
°C Maximum steam pipe distance should not exceed
a total of 15 liner meters.
CAUTION: Do NOT install near flammable material
such as paints, thinners, gasoline, etc.
CAUTION: Steam Generators must NOT be installed
outdoors, in moist humid areas, in areas prone to
freezing, or extreme heat such as an unventilated
attic. To do so will void the warranty.
2. Plumbing First-Fix
Plumbing rough-in is required for the water supply
and steam line; this should be completed before the
walls are closed. For operation, the “SMS” Steam
Generator requires a 15mm. copper tubing to the
fitting on the generator for water inlet and a 22mm
copper pipe for steam outlet.
a) Water Inlet –First fix a water line, (3 bar
max) to the hot or cold supply. An isolating
valve with a 15mm connection to the steam
generator is to be provided at the generator
location
b) Steam Outlet –First fix in the steam line
using a 22mm Copper tube with sweated or
compression brass fittings only. Do NOT use
plastic pipe or fittings. Do not use any push-
fit, snap-fit or anything else that is not
specifically rated for 100 °C steam. Do NOT
use Black Iron or Galvanized pipe to avoid
rust and discoloration to steam room. The
steam head location should be 300mm –
450mm above the steam room floor or
150mm above a rim of a bathtub and as far
from the seating area and user control as
possible
c) Drain Pipe –Rough in the drain pipe to an
open drain using 15mm copper pipe.
do NOT connect the drain pipe to the steam line
(If unable to connect to a drain, cap the outlet
with a ½” brass cap, cannot be left un-plumbed
or capped.)
d) Clean Outlet –Install supplied ball valve and
plumb into an open drain using 15mm
copper pipe. (If unable to connect to a
drain, cap the outlet with a ½” brass cap,
cannot be left un-plumbed or capped)
CAUTION: Do Not install a shutoff valve in the
steam line. Do NOT create traps or valleys in this
line which would trap condensation and block
the flow of steam. The steam pipe should be
pitched toward the Steam Generator allowing
condensation to run back toward the Steam
Generator (preferred), or toward the steamhead.
If the steam generator is equipped with a drain
valve, do NOT connect the drain pipe to the
steam line
Plumbing & Generator Location

Page 7
3. Steam Generator Installation
The Steam Generator should be mounted in a location
convenient for hook-up and service by the plumber and
electrician
CAUTION: The Steam Generator is designed to be used
ONLY in an upright and level position; to do otherwise
would damage the unit and void the warranty
a) The Steam Generator can be mounted to a
wall or set on the floor. However, the unit
must be secured. To secure the unit to a
vertical wall, remove the the four screws
removing the top cover. Then Located inside
the cabinet near the top left and right corners
are mounting holes to secure generator. Then
place top cover back and secure.
b) Connect the ½” water inlet to a shut off valve as
described in diagram below figure 1. The valve must be
kept in an open position during normal operation. In an
area where water hammer is a problem install a water
hammer arrestor in the line
c) Connect the steam line from rough-in location
described in Figure 1 to the ¾" nipple on the Steam
Generator using a union
d) We recommend installing a ¾” BSP equal tee along
with a ¾” plug on the steam outlet connection to allow
for descaling
Plumbing & Generator Diagram
Figure 1 –Plumbing Diagram
e) Connect the ½” drain outlet to an open drain.
(If unable to connect to a drain, cap the outlet with a ½”
female brass cap, this cannot be left un-plumbed or
capped.)
f) Connect the ½” clean outlet to the supplied lever
valve and plumb to an open drain (If unable to connect
to a drain, use a ½” male brass plug into the lever valve,
this cannot be left un-plumbed or capped.)

Page 8
Steam Outlet Pipe –Use 22mm copper pipe
Caution: Do NOT install a shutoff valve on the steam outlet pipe. Do NOT create traps or valleys in the line which
would prevent flow of steam. The steam outlet pipe should be pitched towards the steam generator (Preferred)
allowing condensation to run back into the Steam Generator or towards the steamhead. If the steam pipe exceeds 3
meters. Use appropriate pipe installation rater for minimum of 100 degree Celsius.
Important: Unions MUST be use on the steam line and Drain line.

minutes for the Steam Generator to heat up and begin
producing steam. During operation the display will
show the ambient room temperature.
Programming: Adjustments can be made to the
temperature control after pressing the power touch
button to start the steam cycle. To adjust the
temperature simply press the temperature + or
temperature –touch button. All changes made to the
temperature control are stored in memory until
changed again. Temperature range is 35 °C –68 °C
Additional Features
Memory: The Temperature setpoint is retained even if
there is a power failure.
Fahrenheit / Celsius: The temperature display can be
changed by pressing and holding icon 3 for 2 seconds when
control is off (Steam cycle not started) The display indicator
