Plumbing Installation - Tylo VA 2,0 Instructions De Montage Et D'emploi

How to make the most
of a steam bath.
Most people find that the most comfortable steam bathing
temperature is between 40 and 45°C. Use a bi-metallic
type of thermometer to check the temperature. Fix it on
the wall about 170 cm (67") above floor level, as far from
the steam jet as possible. There is no need for a
hygrometer. The relativity is always 100%.
• Shower and wash before starting your steam bath.
• Take a towel to sit on in the steam room.
• Relax and enjoy the soothing clouds of steam. You can
even listen to your favourite music while you do so. A
stereo unit with speakers specially made for steam bath
listening is available from Tylö's range of accessories.
• Cool down now and again with a refreshing shower.
Alternate between the steam bath and the shower for as
long as you feel it is comfortable.
• After your last spell amongst the clouds of steam, you'll
find a long, cool shower a real delight.
Let your body dry off naturally before putting your clothes
on. Relax, treat yourself to a cold drink and enjoy a
sensation of true well-being. Don't get dressed until your
body has cooled down and your pores have closed once
again.
Cleaning the steam room.
Rinse seats and flooring with warm water (do not use a
high-pressure hose) each time the steam room has been
used. Wash the seats regularly with a mild soapy solution.
For daily disinfection, we recommend the Tylö Steam
Clean unit, which is fully automatic. Stubborn stains can
be removed with ethanol or petroleum (mineral) spirits.
Never use scouring powder, strong alkaline cleaners or
aggressive solvents on the seats and walls in the steam
room. Contact your Tylö representative if you are unsure
of how to remove stains.
It is important that the steam room floor is cleaned
thoroughly – right into the corners. Scrub clean with hot
water and a floor cleaner, which will remove grease and
grime.
Shower in the steam room.
We always recommend installing a shower in domestic
steam rooms. After all, a steam room also makes the best
shower room imaginable. And it is so pleasant to cool off
with an invigorating shower now and again during a steam
bath.

Water connection: connect hot or cold water to pipe joint
1 on the steam generator. Hot water allows faster heating.
The larger steam generators (18/24 kW) have two water
connections.
A flexible reinforced rubber hose (approx. 1 metre [3'3"]
long) is used to connect the copper piping (internal ∅ at
least 12 mm [½"]) and the steam generator to prevent
noises in the system.
IMPORTANT! Flush the pipes thoroughly before
connecting the incoming water supply to the steam
generator.
Flushing the pipes prevents any metal filings or other
foreign bodies from getting into the steam generator's
system.
Note:
In hard-water areas, where calcium levels exceed 5-dH,
we recommend the installation of a Tylö automatic de-
calcifier or a water softener to remove calcium from the
water. (Tylö accessory: Automatic Decalcifier art. no. 9090
7000). The water softener must not generate any froth on
the surface of the water or produce harmful chemicals.
This is especially advisable for public installations.
Steam pipe: Connect the pipe joint to the steam outlet (2)
on the generator, with the capping nut upwards. Connect a
length of copper piping (internal diameter at least 12 mm
[½"] ) to the steam outlet on the pipe joint. (C). The steam
pipe must slope down towards the steam room and/or the
steam generator – or towards both.
Fig. 4.
IMPORTANT! There must be no "water pockets" or sags
where steam may condense and collect as water along
the piping between the steam generator and the steam
room.
Fig. 5.
Plan for as few bends as possible in the steam pipe. Such
bends are to be gently curved, with a minimum radius of
5 cm (2"). Avoid any sharp "elbows" in the pipes.
IMPORTANT! There must not be any type of obstruction
along the steam line, such as a stop-off valve or tap. The
internal diameter of the steam pipe must not be reduced.
If the steam pipe is more than 3 metres (9'9") long, it
should be insulated along its full length. The distance
between any combustible material (e.g. wood) and an
Steam
uninsulated steam pipe must not be less than 10 mm
prod.
(0.4"). Tylö's steam generators (18/24 kW) have 2 steam
etc.) kg/h
outlets. Install separate pipes feeding the separate steam
without
heads in the steam room, and do not connect these pipes
ventilation
with each other.

between 5 and 40 cm (2–16") above floor level. In

principle, steam is released into the room lengthwise
under the seating. Do not direct the steam jet at walls,
seating or any other object. There should be at least
70 cm (28") free space in front of the steam head. In
steam rooms where there is no space under the seats, the
jet of steam should be directed diagonally upwards. Set
the spout so that the jet of steam is directed away from the

bathers. If the steam room is used by children or people
drainage water
whose quick reactions are impaired, etc., a guard should
connec- connec-
be fitted to prevent inadvertent contact with the jet of

steam issuing from the steam head.
Consult the assembly instructions accompanying the
1 1
steam room if the steam head is to be fitted in Tylö's
steam room.

Drainage
Drainage from the steam generator. Fit the drainage
pipe (copper piping with minimum 12 mm internal
diameter) to connection number 3 on the steam generator.
The pipe must lead directly to the nearest drain outside
the steam room itself. The temperature of the water that is
drained off is approximately 95°C/200°F.
IMPORTANT! There must be no blockage of any type
(tap, faucet, etc.) along the drainage pipe.
Regardless of where the drainage head is located, it must
slope all the way from the steam generator to the waste
outlet. Under certain conditions, it may be necessary to
place the steam generator on wall brackets or a stand to
achieve the right angle. Tylö's larger steam generators
(18/24 kW) have 2 drainage connections. Install separate
pipes from each connection to the waste outlet.
Electrical installation.
To be carried out only by a qualified electrician.
The power feed to the steam generator is taken directly
from the mains fuse box. There must be no switches, etc.
along this feed line. See also under "Automatic emptying".
Wiring diagrams 10 - 15 show wiring to one VA or VB
generator. Two steam generators can be linked to the
same steam room and controlled by a control panel; see
fig. 16.
Don't forget to earth the unit!

2 = thermistor (sensor).
3 = control panel CC 10/ CC 50/ CC 100/ CC 300.
4 = external on/off-switch (if any).
5 = mains fuse box.
Lighting.
Can be regulated by a control panel (not CC 10).
Maximum lighting voltage: 24 volts. Carefully seal all holes
made for wiring.
Connect the lighting according to the wiring diagram.
(Note: Wiring diagram 10 shows 2 alternatives, 10a and
10b).
Placement of the thermistor
(sensor).
Place the sensor 150–170 cm above floor level inside the
steam room.
Important: Place the sensor as far from the steam jet as
possible. It must not be hit by the jet directly or indirectly.
The thermistor wire can be extended outside of the
steam room with a shielded low-voltage cable (2-core).
Shielded low-voltage cable
(LiYCY, 6-core).
The control cable between the CC 10/ CC 50/ CC 100/ CC
300 and steam generator must be a shielded low-voltage
cable (LiYCY, 6-core). Connect the shielded cable to plinth
12 in the steam generator.
Option: external on/off-switch
(momentary).
Can be placed at any distance from the steam bath.
Connected with a low-voltage cable to the CC 10/ CC 50/
CC 100/ CC 300 – see the wiring diagram. If there are
several external on/off switches, they should be
connected.
Connection to a central computer.
The control panel can also be connected to a central
computer, which gives a brief impulse (closure) between
plinths 19 and 20 in the CC 10/ CC 50/ CC 100/ CC 300.
Connecting any extra equipment
The P5 and G6 connections are intended for connection of
mechanical ventilation, the Steam Fresh scent unit, the
Steam Clean disinfection unit, etc.
