FAQ: Plumbing requirements (HOT/COLD Connections, ETL, etc)

There is no special water or drain requirements for steam shower kits. Steam showers require a standard ½ inch hot and cold supply line. The drain requires either a 1.5" tub drain or 2" standard shower drain (depending on model).

How many HOT/COLD Connections are required?

Regardless of the number of shower heads, all units have one HOT/COLD connection.

Where is the HOT/COLD Connection located?

The connection is located behind the shower hot/cold controls which differ per unit. Normally the hot/cold is about 30" from the floor on the back of the unit. Flex hoses are included for easy hookups no matter where your current hot/cold is located. Refer to the listing page of each steam shower for the exact location which can be seen in the diagrams towards the bottom of the page.
