Description

What is the Harvia KIP electric sauna heater with separate control?

The Harvia KIP with separate control (KIP45W, KIP60W and KIP80W) is a wall-mounted stainless-steel electric sauna heater that has no controls of its own: it runs from a Harvia Xenio CX170 control, sold separately. It comes in 4.5, 6 and 8 kW for sauna rooms of 100 to 425 cu ft, on 240 V single-phase or 208 V three-phase power, and holds 44 lb (20 kg) of 2–4" stones behind a protective stone guard.

Which control does the Harvia KIP need?

The Harvia KIP with separate control needs a Harvia Xenio CX170 control: the CX170-U1-15-XW for the 240 V single-phase heaters and the CX170-U3-15-XW for the 208 V three-phase heaters. Harvia's KIP manual says the control is purchased separately and brings the power unit and temperature sensor with it. Both Xenio models have Wi-Fi for Harvia's MyHarvia app; the Xenio can be set from 104 to 194°F (40–90°C), runs the heater for up to 1 hour per start and can delay a start by up to 12 hours. An older plain CX170-U1 is limited to 7 kW on one supply circuit, too little for the 8 kW KIP; the CX170-U1-15-XW Topture sells handles up to 10.5 kW that way. Topture offers the KIP only with the Xenio CX170; Harvia's Fenix controls are not offered for it.

The same heater comes with built-in dials as the Harvia KIP with built-in controls, as a graphite-black KIP for 240 V, and in packages with the Xenio control and stones included, such as the Harvia KIP 8 kW package. The Harvia KIP collection has every KIP heater and package.

Specifications

Which Harvia KIP size fits my sauna?

Choose the Harvia KIP by the volume of your sauna room. Harvia's manual adds 1.2 m³ for every square meter of uninsulated brick, glass block, glass, concrete or tile wall, about 3.9 cu ft per sq ft, and a glass door counts: its example is a 10 m³ room with a glass door, which needs the output of a 12 m³ room. Multiply the volume of a solid-log sauna by 1.5.

Installation

How is the Harvia KIP installed?

The Harvia KIP 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 Xenio control's power unit goes on a wall outside the sauna room, and its temperature sensor on the wall above the heater. Harvia's KIP manual says only a qualified electrician may do the electrical work. 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 KIP safety distances

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

Harvia KIP minimum distances by output (Harvia KIP manual Y05-1593 B, §5.3 and §6.4)
	4.5 kW	6 kW	8 kW
Heater side to side wall	3" (75 mm)	4" (100 mm)	5" (125 mm)
Heater to upper bench (horizontal)	3" (75 mm)	4" (100 mm)	5" (125 mm)

Harvia KIP, every output (Harvia KIP manual Y05-1593 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes with the Harvia KIP heater, and what else does it need to run?

The Harvia KIP with separate control ships as the heater with its mounting screws, two warning signs for the sauna and Harvia's installation manual. It does not run on its own: Harvia's KIP manual says the control unit is purchased separately and brings the power unit and temperature sensor with it. The heater also needs 44 lb of 2–4 in split-face stones, a circuit installed by a licensed electrician and a non-metallic guard rail. Topture sells the Harvia Xenio CX170 control and AC3000 stones separately, and sells KIP packages with both included.

Which control does the Harvia KIP heater need?

The Harvia KIP with separate control needs a Harvia Xenio CX170: the CX170-U1-15-XW for the 240 V single-phase heaters and the CX170-U3-15-XW for the 208 V three-phase ones. Both have Wi-Fi for Harvia's MyHarvia app; the Xenio can be set from 104 to 194°F (40–90°C), runs the heater for up to 1 hour per start and can delay a start by up to 12 hours. An older plain CX170-U1 is limited to 7 kW on one supply circuit, too little for the 8 kW KIP. Topture offers the KIP only with the Xenio CX170, not with Harvia's Fenix controls.

What size Harvia KIP does my sauna need?

Choose the Harvia KIP by the volume of the sauna room. Harvia's KIP manual gives 100–210 cu ft for the 4.5 kW, 170–300 cu ft for the 6 kW and 250–425 cu ft for the 8 kW. Add about 3.9 cu ft for every square foot of uninsulated brick, glass, concrete or tile wall, counting a glass door (Harvia: 1.2 m³ per m²), and multiply a solid-log sauna's volume 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.

What electrical supply does the Harvia KIP need?

The Harvia KIP runs on 240 V single-phase or 208 V three-phase power, by the model you choose. Harvia's KIP manual lists 18.8 amps for the 4.5 kW, 25.0 amps for the 6 kW and 33.3 amps for the 8 kW at 240 V, and 12.5, 16.7 and 22.2 amps at 208 V three-phase. The heater is wired through the Xenio control's power unit, and Harvia's manual says only a qualified electrician may do the electrical work. Your licensed electrician sizes the breaker and wire from the manual that ships with the heater and your local code.

How is the Harvia KIP installed?

The Harvia KIP mounts on the sauna wall on two supplied lag screws, with its bottom 7–12 in above the floor; Harvia does not allow it in a wall recess, and only one electric heater may go in a sauna room. Keep 3, 4 or 5 in, by output, to the side wall and the upper bench and 43.3 in to the ceiling, and install the non-metallic guard rail Harvia requires, at least 2 in from the heater. The Xenio's power unit goes outside the sauna room and its temperature sensor above the heater; Harvia's manual gives the exact positions.

How long does the Harvia KIP take to heat up?

The Harvia KIP takes 30–60 minutes to heat the sauna, according to Harvia's KIP manual, and that time counts inside the Xenio control's 1-hour heating time, so restart the heating from the panel when you go in if you need longer. Harvia's troubleshooting says slow heating calls for checking that the elements glow, that the heater is powerful enough for the room, and that the ventilation is right. Uninsulated brick, glass or tile walls raise the output a room needs. Before the first sauna, run the heater for 5 minutes with the door open to burn off the coating on the elements.

How do you load and maintain the stones in a Harvia KIP?

The Harvia KIP takes 44 lb (20 kg) of 2–4 in split-face stones, which one box of Harvia AC3000 covers; Harvia names peridotite, olivine diabase, olivine or vulcanite. Put them in by hand so that no heating element shows between or below the stones, 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.

What problems do Harvia KIP owners run into, and how are they avoided?

Most problems Harvia's manual covers for the Harvia KIP start with the control settings, the installation or the stones. A heater that will not heat needs the breaker, the Xenio's time and temperature and the overheat protector checked; the protector resets with a button in the heater's electric box once the heater is cool and the breaker is off. Stones that cool quickly under water mean the elements should be checked for glowing and the ventilation for flow. Quickly darkening panels mean short safety distances or elements showing through the stones. First-use odor is normal, and occasional bangs are stones cracking.

Who makes the Harvia KIP, and what is it made of?

The Harvia KIP is made by Harvia, the Finnish sauna manufacturer. The separate-control KIP has a stainless-steel casing with a protective stone guard and dual-wall construction; a graphite-black version is also sold for 240 V. The KIP 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 net weights of 29 to 30.4 lb by model.

What warranty does the Harvia KIP have?

Harvia's manufacturer warranty covers the Harvia KIP for 2 years, and Harvia adds a third year when the heater is registered on harvia.com within 30 days of purchase. The Xenio control has its own 2-year manufacturer warranty, with no registration year. 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 with separate control compare with the KIP with built-in controls?

The Harvia KIP with separate control is run from a Harvia Xenio CX170 wall panel with Wi-Fi, while the KIP with built-in controls has a thermostat dial and a timer dial on the heater and no Wi-Fi. Both come in 4.5, 6 and 8 kW for rooms of 100–425 cu ft and take 44 lb of stones. The built-in timer runs 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 the MyHarvia app. Only the separate-control KIP comes in 208 V three-phase at Topture, and it needs its control bought with it.

Where can you buy the Harvia KIP from an authorized dealer?

Topture is an authorized Harvia retailer and sells the Harvia KIP with separate control in 4.5, 6 and 8 kW, on 240 V or 208 V three-phase, with the Xenio CX170 control and AC3000 stones as options, or as KIP packages that combine the heater, the control and the stones. 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 a Harvia KIP cost in total, delivered?

The delivered cost of a Harvia KIP from Topture is the heater price plus the parts it needs to run: a Harvia Xenio CX170 control and one 44 lb box of AC3000 stones. Topture has free shipping on orders over $200 within the continental US, so a KIP order ships free there. The KIP packages combine heater, control and stones at exactly the sum of the three parts. Budget separately for a licensed electrician and a non-metallic guard rail. Compare delivered totals, because some listings price the heater without its control. 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.
