Harvia The Wall SW Stainless Steel Sauna Heater

Description

Harvia's The Wall is a compact, refined electric sauna heater built for intimate rooms, the kind of clean, wall-mounted stove that looks as considered as the sauna around it. It brings genuine Finnish traditional heat to a smaller space without dominating it.

A stone chamber sits over the elements, in direct contact for rapid, even heat and for the loyly you get when you ladle water over the hot rocks. A dual-wall build keeps the outer casing cool enough to sit beside, and the heater installs left or right-handed to fit whatever wall your layout gives you.

Operation is simple: a top-mounted timer and illuminated on, time, and temperature switches you can read at a glance, with built-in overheat protection for peace of mind. It comes in 6 or 8 kilowatts, in black or stainless steel, with 45 pounds of stones included, so it is ready to install and fill.

• Electrical: needs a dedicated 240V single-phase circuit sized to the heater (roughly 30 amps for 6kW, 40 to 50 amps for 8kW), installed by a licensed electrician; confirm your panel first.
• Stones: rinse and stack the included stones loosely so air and water move through them.
• Site: for a traditional sauna room with proper clearances and ventilation.

FAQ

What size sauna is The Wall for?
It is designed for smaller, intimate saunas. The 6kW suits rooms up to about 282 cubic feet and the 8kW up to about 423. If your room is poorly insulated or has a lot of glass, size up.

What electrical does it need?
A dedicated 240V single-phase circuit sized to the heater, roughly 30 amps for the 6kW and 40 to 50 amps for the 8kW, with proper grounding and a licensed electrician. The Harvia manual and local code set the exact requirement.

Is it safe to sit next to?
The dual-wall construction keeps the outer casing cooler than a single-wall heater, and there is built-in overheat protection. You still keep the manufacturer's clearances to benches and walls, but it is designed for close quarters in a small sauna.

Black or stainless steel, and left or right install?
Both finishes are the same heater; choose by how you want it to look in the room. The heater installs left or right-handed, so you can place it on the wall and side that suits your layout and door.

Are the stones included?
Yes, 45 pounds of stones come with it. Rinse and stack them loosely around the elements so air and water can move through; do not pack them tight.
