Description

What is the Harvia The Wall electric sauna heater?

The Harvia The Wall (SW60 and SW80) is a slim wall-mounted electric sauna heater with its controls built in: a timer and a thermostat on the heater itself, so no separate control is needed. It comes in 6 and 8 kW for sauna rooms of 177 to 431 cu ft on 240 V single-phase power, in black steel or stainless steel, and holds 44 lb (20 kg) of 2–4" stones.

How do The Wall's built-in controls work?

Harvia The Wall has a timer knob and a thermostat knob, with illuminated switches. The timer starts the heater at once for up to 1 hour, or delays the start by up to 8 hours, after which the heater runs for about an hour; the thermostat holds the temperature you set. The control can be installed on the left or right side of the heater.

Specifications

Which Harvia The Wall size fits my sauna?

Choose Harvia The Wall by the volume of your sauna room: the 6 kW heats 177–294 cu ft and the 8 kW 177–431 cu ft. Harvia's sizing rule 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: Harvia's 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 room must be at least 75" (1,900 mm) tall.

Installation

How is Harvia The Wall installed?

Harvia The Wall hangs on its supplied wall mount, fixed horizontally to the wall so that the heater is not held by the wall panel alone; the mount keeps the heater 3.15" (80 mm) above the floor. A sauna room takes only one electric heater, and the floor under it should be heat-resistant. Harvia's manual says only a licensed electrician may connect the heater, permanently, with no plug in the sauna room. 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 mounting and wiring details.

Harvia The Wall safety distances

Keep at least these distances between Harvia The Wall and walls, benches and anything that can burn. They are the same for the 6 and 8 kW.

Harvia The Wall minimum safety distances (Harvia The Wall manual Y05-0859, Figures 3 and 4)
Heater side to a side wall, and heater front to a bench	2.95" (75 mm)
Heater front to a bench or shelf above the top of the heater	9.84" (250 mm)
Top of the heater to the ceiling	44.1" (1,120 mm)
Bottom of the heater to the floor	3.15" (80 mm)
Heater fence	Required: Harvia's manual says a fence is necessary for safety. Softwood, attached to the wall, at least 3" (75 mm) from the heater on every side, its top 1" (25 mm) below the top of the heater; not included
Sauna room height	At least 75" (1,900 mm); Harvia's room guidance keeps the ceiling no higher than 7' 6" (2,300 mm)

Harvia The Wall ventilation and heater-fence drawing, Figure 3: fence at least 3 in from the heater, its top 1 in below the heater top

Does the sauna room need ventilation?

Yes. Harvia's manual for The Wall calls for adjustable vents that change the air five times an hour: a lower vent close to the heater and an upper vent on the opposite wall. The manual gives their positions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes with Harvia The Wall, and what else does it need?

Harvia The Wall ships with its wall mount and fastening kit, two metal signs for the sauna and Harvia's installation and operating instructions. Its timer and thermostat are built in, so it needs no separate control. It does need 44 lb (20 kg) of 2 to 4 in split-face stones, which one box of Harvia AC3000 covers, a 240 V circuit installed by a licensed electrician, and the softwood heater fence Harvia's manual calls necessary for safety. Topture sells The Wall in 6 or 8 kW, in black steel or stainless steel.

How do the built-in controls on Harvia The Wall work?

Harvia The Wall has a timer knob and a thermostat knob on the heater, with illuminated switches. Turning the timer to its on section starts heating at once for up to 1 hour; turning it to the pre-set section delays the start by up to 8 hours, after which the heater runs for about an hour. The thermostat holds the temperature you choose: Harvia suggests starting at the maximum and turning it down a little if the room gets too hot. The control can sit on the left or right side of the heater.

What size sauna is Harvia The Wall for?

Harvia The Wall 6 kW (SW60) heats sauna rooms of 177 to 294 cu ft and the 8 kW (SW80) rooms of 177 to 431 cu ft, with 28 to 47 or 28 to 69 sq ft of floor, according to Harvia's 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, and Harvia's room guidance keeps the ceiling no higher than 7 ft 6 in.

What electrical supply does Harvia The Wall need?

Harvia The Wall runs on 240 V single-phase power. Harvia's manual lists 25 amps for the 6 kW and 33.4 amps for the 8 kW on one supply group, or 16.7 and 22.3 amps when wired in two groups. The controls are built in, so the heater is wired directly and permanently, with no plug in the sauna room, and Harvia's manual says only a licensed electrician may connect it. Your licensed electrician sizes the breaker and wire from the manual that ships with the heater and your local code.

How is Harvia The Wall installed?

Harvia The Wall hangs on its supplied wall mount, fixed horizontally so the heater is not held by the wall panel alone; the mount keeps the heater 3.15 in (80 mm) above the floor. Harvia's manual keeps it at least 2.95 in from a side wall and from a bench in front of it, 9.84 in from a bench or shelf above its top and 44.1 in below the ceiling, and calls a softwood heater fence, at least 3 in from the heater with its top 1 in below the heater's top, necessary for safety. Only one electric heater may go in a sauna room.

How long does Harvia The Wall take to heat up?

Harvia The Wall takes about an hour to bring a properly insulated sauna of the right size to bathing temperature, according to Harvia's manual, which also says to allow at least 30 minutes for the room to warm up; the stones reach temperature with the room. The timer runs the heater for up to 1 hour per start, and a delayed start of up to 8 hours can have the room warm when you arrive. The heater and stones smell the first few times, so ventilate the room well.

Which stones does Harvia The Wall take, and how are they maintained?

Harvia The Wall takes up to 44 lb (20 kg) of angular split-face stones, 2 to 4 in (5–10 cm) across, and one 44 lb box of Harvia AC3000 covers it. Do not drop the stones in or wedge them between the heating elements; pile them so they support each other, with the elements covered. Harvia's manual says to rearrange the stones at least once a year, remove broken pieces from the bottom of the heater and replace worn stones; they settle fastest in the first two months. Chlorinated water and seawater are forbidden on the stones.

What problems can happen with Harvia The Wall, and how are they avoided?

Most problems Harvia's manual covers for Harvia The Wall come down to output, ventilation, stones and safety distances. If the room heats slowly and water cools the stones fast, check the heater output and the ventilation; if the room heats quickly but water runs through the stones, the output may be too high. Panels that darken quickly mean the safety distances are too short or the stones are packed too tightly or have settled. If the room gets dangerously hot, the overheat protector cuts the power; it can be reset once the heater has cooled and the cause is fixed.

Who makes Harvia The Wall, and what is it made of?

Harvia The Wall is made by Harvia, the Finnish sauna manufacturer. Topture sells it in black steel (HSW6U1BUL and HSW8U1BUL) or stainless steel (HSWS6U1BUL and HSWS8U1BUL). It is ETL Listed and conforms to UL 875, and Harvia's manual says it is for household use. Every output measures 17 in wide, 10.2 in deep and 27.6 in high; the 6 kW weighs 32 lb and the 8 kW 32.5 lb without stones.

What warranty does Harvia The Wall have?

Harvia's manufacturer warranty covers Harvia The Wall 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 Harvia The Wall compare with the Harvia Spirit?

Harvia The Wall and the Harvia Spirit both come in 6 and 8 kW for the same room sizes, 177 to 294 or 431 cu ft, on 240 V. The Wall has its timer and thermostat built in and a slim body, 10.2 in deep, holding 44 lb of split-face stones, while the Spirit has no controls of its own, runs from a separately sold Xenio or Fenix control with Wi-Fi, and holds about 110 lb of rounded stones in a curved steel grid 13.1 in deep. The Spirit also comes in 9 kW for rooms up to 494 cu ft.

Where can you buy Harvia The Wall from an authorized dealer?

Topture is an authorized Harvia retailer and sells Harvia The Wall in 6 and 8 kW, in black steel or stainless steel, with a box of AC3000 stones as the option sized for it. 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 Harvia The Wall cost in total, delivered?

The delivered cost of Harvia The Wall from Topture is the heater price plus one 44 lb box of AC3000 stones; the controls are built in, so no separate control is needed. Topture has free shipping on orders over $200 within the continental US, so The Wall ships free there. Budget separately for a licensed electrician to install the 240 V circuit and for the softwood heater fence Harvia's manual requires. Compare delivered totals, because some listings price the heater without its stones. Financing is available through Shop Pay Installments at checkout.
