How is the Harvia Pro 20 Duo installed?
The Harvia Pro 20 Duo stands on a floor strong enough to carry it and its stones, on its adjustable legs, inside the safety distances below, and connects to a T600 chimney. Harvia's manual says all local regulations apply, that the stove is not suitable for a shared flue, and that the local fire authorities can give detailed fire-safety requirements. Harvia's installation manual, under Documents, gives the step-by-step installation and the chimney connection.
What wall opening does the Harvia Pro 20 Duo need?
The Harvia Pro 20 Duo is loaded from the room next to the sauna: its fire-chamber extension passes through an opening in a non-combustible wall, and a flange presses against the wall around the door. Harvia's manual gives the opening as 15.9" (405 mm) wide and 19.1" (485 mm) high, in a wall no thicker than 4.7" (120 mm). The non-combustible wall the stove passes through must reach the roof.
Does the Harvia Pro 20 Duo need floor protection?
It depends on the floor under the Harvia Pro 20 Duo. A bare concrete floor at least 2.4" (60 mm) thick needs no protection. A tile floor needs Harvia protective bedding or similar heat-radiation protection, because the adhesives and waterproofing under tile do not resist the stove's heat. A floor made of combustible material needs the bedding too, plus non-combustible floor protection, at least 17.7" × 31.5" (450 × 800 mm), in front of the stove door on the loading side. Harvia's Pro 20 Duo manual names the WL100 protective bedding for this stove; the Harvia WL100 protective bedding (Protective Bedding SM) is sold separately and does not come with the stove.
Harvia Pro 20 Duo safety distances
Keep at least these distances between the Harvia Pro 20 Duo and anything that can burn.
Harvia Pro 20 Duo minimum safety distances (Harvia manual Y05-1394-1 09/25)

| Sides to combustible material |
11.8" (300 mm) |
| Rear to combustible material |
11.8" (300 mm) |
| Front to combustible material |
11.8" (300 mm) |
Harvia Pro 20 Duo with the WL500 or WL550 protective sheath (Harvia manual Y05-0109-1 0925)
| Sides |
2.4" (62 mm) |
| Rear |
2.4" (62 mm) |
| Front |
16.6" (422 mm) |
| Sheath to wall |
1.2" (30 mm) |
The shorter distances apply only with the sheath fitted; without it, use the first table.
Connecting the Harvia Pro 20 Duo to a chimney
The Harvia Pro 20 Duo connects at the top through a 4.5" (115 mm) opening, to a chimney of temperature class T600 with a flue at least 4.3" (110 mm) across; it cannot share a flue with another fireplace. The Harvia WHP1500 chimney kit (sold separately) fits the top opening, and its page gives the roof and clearance requirements. For North American 6" chimney pipe, the Harvia WZ115155 pipe adapter (sold separately) adapts the opening.
