Specifications

Does the Harvia Linear 16 fit my sauna?

The Harvia Linear 16 heats sauna rooms of 212 to 565 cu ft (6–16 m³). 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. The Linear 16 needs at least 51.2" (1,300 mm) between the top of the stove and the ceiling. Harvia's data sheet gives a minimum sauna room height of 80.1" (2,035 mm).

Installation

How is the Harvia Linear 16 installed?

The Harvia Linear 16 stands, with no adjustable legs, on a floor strong enough to carry it, 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, that no electrical devices, wires or combustible materials may sit within the safety distances, and that the local fire authorities can give detailed fire-safety requirements. Harvia's installation manual, under Documents, gives the step-by-step installation, the chimney connection details and the wood loads.

Does the Harvia Linear 16 need floor protection?

It depends on the floor under the Harvia Linear 16. 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 protection in front of the stove door. Harvia's manual names the WL100 or WL110 bedding for the Harvia Linear 16. The Harvia WL110 protective bedding (Protective Bedding LG) is sold separately; it does not come with the stove.

Harvia Linear 16 safety distances

Keep at least these distances between the Harvia Linear 16 and anything that can burn.

Harvia Linear 16 minimum safety distances (Harvia manual Y05-0109-1)
Top of the stove to the ceiling	51.2" (1,300 mm)
Sides to combustible material	11.8" (300 mm)
Rear to combustible material	13.8" (350 mm)
Front to combustible material	15.7" (400 mm)
To a masonry wall	2.0" (50 mm) if air can circulate in front and at one side; 3.9" (100 mm) in a recess

Harvia Linear 16 with the WL425 (one side) or WL475 (full) protective sheath (Harvia manual Y05-0109-1)
Sides	1.2" (30 mm)
Rear	1.2" (30 mm)
Front	15.7" (400 mm)
Sheath to wall	1.3" (32 mm)

The shorter side and rear distances apply only with a sheath fitted. Topture stocks the WL475; the one-sided WL425 is not stocked. Without a sheath, use the first table.

Connecting the Harvia Linear 16 to a chimney

The Harvia Linear 16 connects at the top or the rear 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. The rear opening connects to a masonry flue. For North American 6" chimney pipe, the Harvia WZ115155 pipe adapter (sold separately) adapts the opening.

Does the Harvia Linear 16 need a first firing?

Yes, outdoors. Harvia's manual says to fire the Harvia Linear 16 once outside before its first sauna, until the paint on the stove stops smoking, and to load the stones only after it has cooled.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes with the Harvia Linear 16, and what else does it need?

The Harvia Linear 16 ships as the wood-burning stove with its glass door and ash box, with Harvia's installation and user manual. It needs no electricity, but it does need 4–6 in sauna stones (two 44 lb boxes of Harvia AC3020 cover its 79 lb stone space), a T600 chimney such as Harvia's WHP1500 kit, and, on a tile or combustible floor, Harvia protective bedding, plus non-combustible protection in front of the door on a combustible floor. None of these come with the stove: Topture offers the stones, the WHP1500 chimney, the WL110 bedding, the WL475 sheath and the WP220ST water heater as options, sold separately.

What size sauna does the 17.9 kW Harvia Linear 16 heat?

The Harvia Linear 16 is rated at 17.9 kW and heats sauna rooms of 212–565 cu ft (6–16 m³), according to Harvia. Harvia adds 1.2 m³ for every square meter of uninsulated brick, glass, tile or concrete surface, about 3.9 cu ft per sq ft, and counts a glass door: a 10 m³ room with a glass door needs the output of a 12 m³ room. Multiply a solid-log sauna's volume by 1.5. The top of the stove needs at least 51.2 in (1,300 mm) to the ceiling. Larger rooms suit the Harvia Pro 20, rated for 283–706 cu ft.

What chimney does the Harvia Linear 16 need?

The Harvia Linear 16 needs a chimney of temperature class T600 with a flue at least 4.3 in (110 mm) across; it connects at the top or the rear through a 4.5 in (115 mm) opening, and Harvia's manual does not allow a shared flue. Harvia's WHP1500 steel chimney kit, in stainless or black, joins the top opening with a smoke pipe cut to length; it suits roofs pitched 10° or more (a flat roof needs the WHM24 rain flange) and is CE marked to EN 1856-1. Keep its insulated casing 3.94 in and its uninsulated smoke pipe 19.7 in from anything that can burn. A masonry T600 flue at the rear is the alternative.

How is the Harvia Linear 16 installed, and does it need electricity or floor protection?

The Harvia Linear 16 stands on the floor and needs no electrical connection. A bare concrete floor at least 2.4 in (60 mm) thick needs no protection; tile needs Harvia protective bedding, such as the WL110, and a combustible floor needs the bedding plus non-combustible protection in front of the door. Keep the stove 51.2 in (1,300 mm) from the ceiling and 11.8 in (300 mm) at the sides, 13.8 in (350 mm) at the rear and 15.7 in (400 mm) at the front from combustible walls; a Harvia protective sheath shortens the side and rear distances. Harvia's manual says local regulations apply and the local fire authorities can advise.

What has to be done before the first fire in a Harvia Linear 16?

The Harvia Linear 16 must be fired for the first time outdoors, Harvia's manual says, because the protective paint on the stove body smokes while it cures; the stove is ready for normal use once the smoking stops. Fit the smoke pipes for draught during this firing, load no stones until the stove has cooled completely afterwards, and throw no water on it. Do not rub or sweep the painted surfaces until the heat-resistant paint has cured.

What firewood does the Harvia Linear 16 burn, and how hot should the sauna get?

The Harvia Linear 16 takes firewood up to 13.8 in (350 mm) long and 3.1–5.9 in (8–15 cm) across, and Harvia declares loads of 7.7 lb (3.5 kg) to light the fire and 8.8 lb (4.0 kg) per refuelling. Start with pieces of 3.1–4.7 in (8–12 cm) and refuel with 4.7–5.9 in (12–15 cm). Empty the ash box before each firing and keep the door closed while the fire burns. The Linear 16 has no thermostat, so the fire sets the heat: Harvia's rule of thumb is that a sauna over 212°F (100°C) is too hot, and several full loads of wood in a row overheat the sauna, the stove and the chimney and can start a fire.

How do you load and maintain the stones in the Harvia Linear 16?

The Harvia Linear 16 holds up to 79 lb (36 kg) of 4–6 in (10–15 cm) stones; two 44 lb boxes of Harvia AC3020 split-face olivine diabase stones cover it, with some left over. Load them only after the first firing, once the stove is cold, with the larger stones at the bottom: Harvia warns that stones placed wrongly can heat nearby structures to dangerous temperatures even outside the safety distances. Rearrange the stones at least once a year and remove any smaller than 4 in or broken.

What problems do Harvia Linear 16 owners run into, and how are they avoided?

Most problems Harvia's manual lists for the Harvia Linear 16 trace back to the chimney, the wood or the stones. Smoke in the sauna or no draught points to a leaking flue connection, a cold flue, an extractor fan pulling air, a full ash box, blocked smoke canals or a connection pipe pushed too far into the flue. A sauna that will not heat is usually too big for the stove, has uninsulated walls or is fired with damp wood; stones that stay cool are often too small or broken. A smell on the first firings is the paint curing, and wooden walls darkening over time is normal.

Who makes the Harvia Linear 16, and what is it made of?

The Harvia Linear 16 (WK160C) is made by Harvia, the Finnish sauna manufacturer; Harvia US Inc. is its warrantor in North America. It has a black-painted steel casing, a glass door and an ash box, and it is CE marked to EN 15821, the European standard for wood-fired sauna stoves. It measures 16.5 in wide, 17.7 in deep and 28.9 in high, with no adjustable legs, and weighs 102.7 lb (46.6 kg) without stones.

What warranty does the Harvia Linear 16 have?

Harvia's manufacturer warranty covers the Harvia Linear 16 for 2 years of family use. The extra registration year Harvia offers applies to electric heaters only, not to wood-burning stoves, and sauna stones are not covered; the warranty also excludes damage caused by stones Harvia does not recommend. 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 Linear 16 compare with the Linear 18 Compact and the Linear 22 GreenFlame?

The Harvia Linear 16 is the smallest and lightest of the three: 17.9 kW for rooms of 212–565 cu ft, 102.7 lb, 79 lb of stones and no adjustable legs. The Linear 18 Compact has a double shell that lets it stand 3.6 in from walls beside and behind it, against the Linear 16's 11.8 in at the sides, and covers 177–636 cu ft at 14.3 kW with 88 lb of stones. The Linear 22 GreenFlame adds a large glass door and Harvia's GreenFlame combustion, 15.7 kW for 318–636 cu ft.

Where can you buy the Harvia Linear 16 from an authorized dealer?

Topture is an authorized Harvia retailer and sells the Harvia Linear 16 on its own, with AC3020 stones, the WHP1500 chimney, the WL110 bedding, the WL475 sheath, the WP220ST water heater and the WZ115155 adapter as options. 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 Linear 16 cost in total, delivered?

The delivered cost of a Harvia Linear 16 from Topture is the stove price plus the parts it needs: two boxes of AC3020 stones, a chimney such as the WHP1500 kit, and, on a tile or combustible floor, protective bedding. Topture has free shipping on orders over $200 within the continental US, so a Linear 16 order ships free there; Harvia stoves travel on a pallet by freight, with Topture's full-value freight protection. Budget separately for installing the chimney. Compare delivered totals, because some listings price the stove without its stones and chimney. 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?

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.
