Harvia HSP1 Embedding Flange for Harvia Spirit | Stainless Steel

Why embed your heater?

Good sauna design aims to keep your feet near or above the top of the heater stones. Warm air rises, so a low foot bench can leave your feet in cooler air while your head gets hot. Planning the seat and footrest heights around the stone level helps bring more of your body into the warmer part of the sauna.

Embedding your Harvia Spirit into a raised bench or platform lets you build the layout around the heater, with this flange finishing the opening. The bench and footrest heights create the relationship between your feet and the stones; the flange alone does not change it. Keep the required portion of the heater above the surrounding surface and follow the heater and flange manuals for clearances, ventilation, mounting and service access.

What’s included

• Stainless steel embedding flange

Embedding a Spirit into a bench puts bench timber right up against the heater, and in the path of any water thrown at the rocks. The HSP1 is a stainless flange that closes that opening.

Harvia’s own wording is that the flange “ensures a neat finish and also acts as a thermal radiation shield for your benches”. It does two jobs: it protects the bench structures from water and heat, and the stainless steel is easy to keep clean. It is designed, engineered and made in Finland.

One thing to plan for: the flange finishes the opening, it does not create it. The bench cut-out has to be built to suit the heater, so bring the flange dimensions to whoever is building the benches rather than fitting it afterwards.
