The SaunaLife Titan SL1 Heat Shield is an optional stainless-steel shield for the SaunaLife Titan SL1 propane sauna heater. It curves around the back of the Titan's stone basket, attaches with integrated clips and limits the radiant heat reaching the wall behind it. In a sauna cabin, fitting it reduces the Titan's required side and rear clearance from 6" to 4".
How much space does the Titan SL1 Heat Shield save?
In a sauna cabin, the heat shield reduces the Titan SL1's left, right and rear clearances from 6" to 4", measured from the outside of the stone basket. The front clearance stays at 16" and the ceiling clearance at 50". The shield itself must stay at least 1" from any wall or combustible surface and must never touch or be attached to combustible material. In a SaunaTrekker tent the heat shield does not change the clearances: the 6" side, 6" rear and 16" front distances apply with or without it.
What does the heat shield change about the Titan SL1's footprint?
With the heat shield fitted, the Titan SL1 measures 16.59" W × 21.29" D × 27" H, compared with 13.07" W × 19.57" D without it, per SaunaLife's manual. The floor, ventilation and propane line requirements are the same with or without the shield.
