Description

What is the Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls?

The Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls combines two parts: the Harvia KIP60B wall-mounted electric sauna heater (JH60BU1UL, 240 V single-phase), which has its thermostat and timer on the heater itself, and one 44 lb box of Harvia AC3000 stones. It is sized for sauna rooms of 170 to 300 cu ft. The kit price is the sum of the two parts; ordering them together means the stones are already matched to the heater.

The KIP60B needs no separate control unit. It has two dials on the lower front of the heater: a thermostat on the left and a timer on the right. The timer switches the heater on for 1 hour; its small numbers, 1 to 8, delay the start by that many hours, after which the heater runs for 1 hour. The heater does not heat while the thermostat is at its minimum. There is no Wi-Fi or app.

  • Thermostat and 1-hour timer dials on the heater, with a delayed start of up to 8 hours

  • Wall-mounted stainless-steel heater with a protective stone guard
  • Heater c-UL-us listed; complies with UL 875

For a KIP run from a Xenio wall panel with Wi-Fi, see the KIP 6 kW kit with Xenio Wi-Fi control. The Harvia KIP collection has the other KIP sizes and the KIP heaters on their own.

Installation

How is the Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls installed?

The KIP60B mounts on the sauna wall on two supplied lag screws, with its bottom 7–12" (178–305 mm) above the floor. Harvia does not allow it in a wall recess, and a sauna room takes only one electric heater. The supply cable runs from the breaker to the heater's own electric box, so there is no separate control unit to place; the temperature sensor, packed inside that electric box, mounts on the sauna wall near the heater under its supplied cover. Harvia's KIP manual says only a qualified electrician may do the electrical work; the KIP60B draws 25.0 A at 240 V. Your licensed electrician sizes the breaker and wire from the manual that ships with the heater and your local code. Harvia's installation manual, under Documents, gives the exact screw, sensor and wiring positions.

Harvia KIP60B safety distances

Keep at least these distances between the Harvia KIP60B and walls, benches and anything that can burn.

Harvia KIP60B (6 kW) minimum distances (Harvia KIP manual Y05-1516 B, §5.3 and §6.4)
Heater side to side wall 4" (100 mm)
Heater to upper bench (horizontal) 4" (100 mm)
Harvia KIP60B, 6 kW (Harvia KIP manual Y05-1516 B, §5.1 and §6.4)
Non-metallic guard rail, front and sides Required, at least 2" (50 mm) from the heater: the caution label on the heater says one shall be installed
Lower bench beside the heater At least 2" (50 mm) from the heater front, if the bench top is at least 1" (25 mm) below the top of the heater
Wall to front of the lower bench At least 13" (329 mm)
Top of the heater to the ceiling At least 43.3" (1,100 mm)
Bottom of the heater to the floor 7–12" (178–305 mm)
Sauna room height At least 75" (USA) or 78" (Canada); ceiling no higher than 90"

Does the sauna room need ventilation?

Yes. Harvia's KIP manual calls for six air changes an hour, through a supply-air vent and a mandatory exhaust vent near the floor; the manual gives their positions and sizes.

What Topture Customers Say

Topture is rated 4.9/5 across 463 customer reviews

We thought about buying a sauna for years and finally did. We absolutely love it, especially in the winter. It’s incredibly easy to assemble with two people the whole family uses it.

Verified buyer

Ordered this sauna fall 2024 and we love it. No better feeling during a Minnesota winter. Lastly, I have to mention the customer service for this purchase has been like no other. Any questions or requests I had were addressed immediately by Topture. I got more than I expected from them and have already recommended them to several people looking for saunas. SO if you're thinking about it, JUST DO IT already..

Thanks for the great service - greatly appreciated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls?
The Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls includes two parts: the Harvia KIP60B wall-mounted electric sauna heater (JH60BU1UL, 6 kW, 240 V) and one 44 lb (20 kg) box of Harvia AC3000 split-face stones, which is the KIP's full stone load. The heater comes with its temperature sensor, packed inside the heater's electric box, a wall cover and trim pieces for the sensor wire, mounting screws, two sauna signs and Harvia's manual; it needs no separate control unit. Not included: the circuit and wiring, which a licensed electrician installs, and a non-metallic guard rail around the heater.
What size sauna is the Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls for?
The Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls is for sauna rooms of 170 to 300 cu ft (4.8–8.5 m³), with 28 to 40 sq ft of floor, according to Harvia's KIP manual. Harvia adds 1.2 m³ for every square meter of uninsulated brick, glass, concrete or tile wall, about 3.9 cu ft per sq ft, and counts a glass door; a solid-log sauna's volume is multiplied by 1.5. The room must be at least 75 in tall in the US (78 in in Canada) and no more than 90 in. Smaller rooms suit the Harvia KIP 4.5 kW package, and larger ones the KIP 8 kW.
What electrical supply does the Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls need?
The Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls runs on 240 V single-phase power: Harvia's KIP manual says the KIP60B heater draws 25.0 amps at 240 V. The supply cable runs from the breaker to the heater's own electric box, with no separate control unit, and Harvia's manual says only a qualified electrician may do the electrical work. For 208 V three-phase power, Topture sells the KIP with separate control and its Xenio CX170-U3-15-XW control instead. Your licensed electrician sizes the breaker and wire from the manual that ships with the heater and your local code.
How do the built-in controls on the Harvia KIP 6 kW work?
The Harvia KIP 6 kW kit's KIP60B heater has two dials on its lower front: a thermostat on the left and a timer on the right. Turning the timer to 1 runs the heater for 1 hour, and the small numbers 1 to 8 delay the start by that many hours, after which it runs for 1 hour. Harvia counts the time the sauna takes to warm up inside that hour, so turn the timer back to 1 when you go in if you want longer. The heater does not heat while the thermostat is at its minimum, and it has no Wi-Fi or app.
How is the Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls installed?
The Harvia KIP 6 kW heater mounts on the sauna wall on two supplied lag screws, with its bottom 7–12 in above the floor, and never in a wall recess. Harvia's manual keeps it at least 4 in from the side wall and the upper bench and 43.3 in below the ceiling, and requires a non-metallic guard rail at least 2 in from the heater. Its temperature sensor mounts on the wall near the heater under a supplied cover. A licensed electrician runs the supply to the heater's electric box, following the exact positions in Harvia's installation manual.
How do you load and maintain the stones in the Harvia KIP 6 kW with built-in controls?
The Harvia KIP 6 kW with built-in controls takes 44 lb (20 kg) of 2–4 in split-face stones, and the kit's box of Harvia AC3000 is exactly that amount. Harvia's manual says to put the stones in by hand, one by one, so that no heating element shows between or below them, because bare elements are a fire hazard. Check the stones at least once a year, remove debris and broken stones, and replace them all every two years, or sooner with heavy use. Throw only clean water onto the stones; chlorinated water and sea water are prohibited.
What problems can happen with the Harvia KIP 6 kW with built-in controls, and how are they avoided?
Most problems Harvia's KIP manual covers for the Harvia KIP 6 kW with built-in controls come down to settings, installation and stones. If it will not heat, check the breaker, that the thermostat is turned up from its minimum and the timer dial is set, and the overheat protector, which resets with a button in the heater's electric box once the heater is cool and the breaker is off. Slow heating calls for checking that the elements glow, that the thermostat is set high enough and that the ventilation is right. Panels that darken quickly mean the safety distances are too short or elements show through the stones. Odor during the first uses is normal, and occasional bangs are stones cracking in the heat.
Who makes the Harvia KIP 6 kW with built-in controls, and what is it made of?
The Harvia KIP 6 kW with built-in controls is made by Harvia, the Finnish sauna manufacturer. The KIP60B has a stainless-steel casing with a protective stone guard and dual-wall construction, and its thermostat and timer dials sit on the lower front. The heater is c-UL-us listed and complies with UL 875. On Harvia's installation drawing it measures 17 in wide, 11 in deep and 25 in high, and Harvia gives its net weight as 30.8 lb, without stones.
What warranty comes with the Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls?
Harvia's manufacturer warranty covers the Harvia KIP 6 kW heater with built-in controls for 2 years, and Harvia adds a third year when the heater is registered on harvia.com within 30 days of purchase. Sauna stones are not covered, and Harvia's terms require the heater to be installed by a qualified electrician, with proof of the installation. Harvia US Inc. is the warrantor in North America; Topture is an authorized Harvia retailer and assists with troubleshooting and warranty coordination.
How does the Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls compare with the KIP 6 kW kit with Xenio control?
The Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls has a thermostat dial and a timer dial on the heater and no Wi-Fi, while the KIP 6 kW kit with Xenio control is run from a wall panel with Wi-Fi. Both use a 6 kW KIP heater for rooms of 170–300 cu ft and include a 44 lb box of AC3000 stones. The built-in timer runs the heater for an hour and can delay the start by up to 8 hours; the Xenio sets a temperature from 104 to 194°F, can delay a start by up to 12 hours and connects to Harvia's MyHarvia app, but it adds a power unit outside the sauna to install.
Where can you buy the Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls from an authorized dealer?
Topture is an authorized Harvia retailer and sells the Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls and the AC3000 stones sized for the heater, as well as the KIP heaters and stones on their own. Topture adds Lifetime Expert Support, help with troubleshooting and warranty coordination, free shipping on orders over $200 within the continental US, financing through Shop Pay Installments at checkout, and a 30-day return window.
What does the Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls cost in total, delivered?
The delivered cost of the Harvia KIP 6 kW kit with built-in controls from Topture is the kit price, which is exactly the KIP60B heater and one box of AC3000 stones added together, with no bundle discount. Topture has free shipping on orders over $200 within the continental US, so the kit ships free there. Budget separately for a licensed electrician to run the circuit and wire the heater, and for a non-metallic guard rail. Compare delivered totals, because some listings price the heater without its stones. Financing is available through Shop Pay Installments at checkout.

General Topture Questions

Where are you located, and where do you ship from?

Topture is an online retailer serving customers in the contiguous United States. The company is Topture LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, and its registered business address is 30 N Gould St, Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801.

Orders ship from manufacturer and distributor warehouses in the U.S. and Canada, and some products ship directly from the manufacturer in Europe. Each product page shows its estimated delivery time.

How much is shipping?

Orders over $200 ship free within the continental United States. Orders under $200 carry a small shipping fee.

Two exceptions: SaunaLife and ThermaSol products carry a freight charge at any order value, and sauna stones ordered without a heater ship at $60 per box because of their weight.

Every charge is shown at checkout before you pay.

Do you provide financing?

Absolutely! To view your financing offer, simply select Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at Step 3 of checkout.

You'll need to enter a debit card to receive your offer, but don’t worry—you can still back out before completing the purchase.

How long will it take for my items to arrive?

If your order is in stock, most orders ship within 2–7 business days of purchase. Transit time then depends on the distance from the warehouse and, for freight, on booking a delivery appointment.

For custom, pre-order or made-to-order items, the estimated delivery time frame is listed on the product page. Delivery dates are estimates, so please don't book installation labor until your order has arrived and been inspected.

What happens after I place my order?

As soon as you place your order, you'll receive a confirmation email with your order details—be sure to keep it for your records. Once your order ships, you'll receive another email with tracking information.

For freight deliveries, the carrier will call or text you to schedule an appointment once the shipment reaches their local terminal. Someone needs to be there to inspect the shipment and sign for it. Smaller parcels arrive by UPS or FedEx without an appointment.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. Products purchased through Topture include the applicable manufacturer’s warranty, subject to the manufacturer’s terms. You’ll find the warranty details for each product under the "Warranty" tab on its product page, and we help with troubleshooting and warranty coordination if an issue comes up.

Do you have a showroom?

We don’t have a showroom — we sell online. Our team is available by phone, email and chat to help you compare models, sizes and heaters, and we can send dimensions, installation manuals and electrical requirements before you buy.

Where do you deliver to?

We deliver throughout the 48 contiguous states, with curbside freight delivery for large items. Free shipping and standard rates apply there only. Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, other U.S. islands and Canada are quoted separately, depending on the brand and model. We can't ship freight or oversized items to P.O. boxes.

Do you ship internationally?

International Shipping

For many products, yes, including to Canada, by custom quote. Email contact@topture.com with the product and your address before you order; availability and cost depend on the brand and model. Any duties, taxes and customs fees are your responsibility.
