AF Series Generator Installation Instructions 1 Important Information Before You Install Make sure the walls, ceiling and floor materials are suitable for use with steam. All penetrations through the vapor barrier of the shower must be completely sealed. For example shower valves, controls and steam head housings. If using acrylic walls, they must be steam rated from their manufacturer. ThermaSol only recommends specific generators for acrylic modules.
AF Series Generator Installation Instructions 3 Sizing or Double Checking the Unit Specified If you are installing the unit or thinking of adding one on your next project, you will need to make sure the unit is sized properly. Installation no te We do not reco mmend a ceiling height exceeding 10 feet. Lower ing ceiling height to 8 fe et helps create a mor e efficient steam room. Calculate the shower area (Length x Width x Height = Cubic Feet) and confirm the ceiling height does not exceed 8 feet.
AF Series Generator Installation Instructions 5 Placing the Generator Select a location as near as practical to the steam shower. Typical locations include: closet, vanity cabinet, climate controlled attic or basement. Generator may be installed up to 50 feet away from steam shower and must be in a dry, non-combustible, well ventilated space with 6" clearance around generator. Be sure to install unit in a location that offers easy accessibility for servicing of generator.
AF Series Generator Installation Instructions 6 Water Supply and Drain Pan Use copper or brass fittings only! Once you select the generator location, you will need to run water to the unit. D Connect a tee to the existing cold water line. Install copper pipe from the tee to create inlet line for unit. DO NOT use galvanized fittings. E DO NOT use PEX or PVC tubing. DO NOT plumb the pressure relief valve into the steam line.
AF Series Generator Installation Instructions 7 Control Cable NOTE: It is recommended to run the cable through electrical conduit. Route the data cable (included with generator) through the finished wall to the back side of the control. The other end of the cable runs to the steam generator location or if present the PDM. Connect the data cable to steam generator connector. DO NOT pinch, nail, staple, wedge, or bind the data cable.
AF Series Generator Installation Instructions 8 Steam Line and Steamhead Now you will need to decide on the steamhead placement in the shower so you can run the steam line from the generator to the steamhead. There are a couple of things you need to know about the placement of the steamhead and steam line itself. DO NOT install any valve in the steam line. Flow of steam must be unobstructed. DO NOT plumb any traps in the steam line.
AF Series Generator Installation Instructions Steamhead Location DO NOT install the steamhead near the seating area or the user. DO NOT forget to install the steamhead rough-in fitting! C I nstall the steamhead 24" from the floor or bathtub rim and 6" from any corner. Steamhead is to be mounted as far as possible from typical bathing position (seated or standing) and installed as far from the in-shower controller as possible.
AF Series Generator Installation Instructions D Once the shower wall is complete and the housing is sealed to the wall, remove the protective cap and insert the steamhead into housing. Use the supplied silicone to adherethe steamhead to the wall sealing out any water from getting behind the head. Use supplied o-ring lubricant to assist in steam head installation. A very small amount is all that is need directly on the o-rings.
