Instructions
Difficulty: Easy Things You'll Need
* Wrench, Pliers, Caulk, Sloped Floor with Drain.

Step One: Match the labeled panels together. When bolting panels together be sure that the top edge of each panel is level and the inside edges (interior corner edges) match from top to bottom. It is common to have the interior corners match but the back side edges not match. Concentrate only on the interior fittings.

Step Two: Bolt the panels together using the provided stainless steel bolts and nuts. Be sure to install all of the bolt before tightening them all the way.

Step Three: Once the seat panels are assembled, begin assembling the ceiling. Follow the same process as assembling the seat panels. Larger units may require that you install the ceiling in sections for easier handling.

Step Four: Now that room is erected, apply the foil vapor barrier tape to the exterior seams. This is provided with the room.

Step Five: Once the ceiling is in place you are ready to install the door and anchor the room to the floor. The door come pre-hung which makes the install a breeze. Simply line up the pre-drilled holes and screw the frame in place.

Step Six: The room should now be ready to anchor into place. Position the room in the desired location. Adjust the door frame as need to square the frame and install the provided concrete anchor bolts on the external panel flange. An anchor should be installed on both sides of the door frame. This will lock the door into place. Continue around the exterior of the room installing anchor bolts every three feet.

Step Seven: The room is now ready to be caulked. Using the provided caulk, caulk the interior seams. The panels come pre-sanded which will ensure a good adhesion. Be sure to caulk the base of panels as well as the ceiling seams.

Step Eight: You're done! A licensed plumber can run the steam line from your generator to the room and will mount the steam head under one of the seats. Specific mounting locations will be provided by the steam generator manufacturer.

Tips & Warnings
