2. Install the Main Unit
WARNING: Risk of property damage. Allow a minimum of 12" (30.5 cm) of air space around the
steam generator at all times. This provides an area for the heat generated by the unit to dissipate.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not plumb a trap or pressure relief valve into the steam
line. Plumbing the pressure relief valve into the steam line can be hazardous if the steam outlet is
capped.
NOTICE: For optimum performance, install the steam generator below the level of the steam head and as
close as possible to the steam head. The unit should be installed within 25 ft (7.62 m) of the steam head in
a dry, well-ventilated area.
Install the desired drain/spill pan under the unit.
We recommend that the pressure relief valve be connected to a drain line. The drain line should
meet all applicable codes.
Attach the water supply line to the water inlet.
