The Harvia Virta Pro HL160E is a 16 kW floor-standing electric sauna heater for rooms of 354–918 adjusted cubic feet running on 240VAC 1PH. It takes 200 lb of 5-10cm sauna stones (sold separately). It requires a separate Harvia control unit, sold separately.
Virta is the current flagship of Harvia's floor-standing electric range. A Graphite Black steel body carries 200 lb of stones in an open top basket, which gives a heavy, slow steam and a heater that stays hot between pours. Because it stands on the floor rather than hanging on the wall, the stone bed sits at a natural pouring height.
- Side-wall or floor mount
- Direct rock-to-heating element contact
- Industrial grade, serviceable heating elements
- Large 10–15 cm stone charge for a heavy, slow steam
- Graphite Black steel body, floor-standing

Hardwired on a dedicated circuit. Not a plug-in appliance. Who Installs It
A licensed electrician sizes the breaker and conductors from the nameplate and installation manual under the current NEC. Line Fuse
Harvia's published line-fuse value for this model does not agree with its own rated amperage, so we have not printed it. Size from the nameplate.
The Harvia Virta Pro HL160E is rated for 354–918 adjusted cubic feet.
Adjusted cubic feet = width × depth × height in feet, plus 45 cu ft for every square foot of glass, tile, concrete or stone, plus 15 cu ft for every square foot of exposed log wall. A 6 × 7 ft room with a 7 ft ceiling is 294 raw cu ft — add a full-glass door and it becomes 834. Always size to the adjusted number.
| Model | Output | Room Volume | Stones | Rated Amps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Virta Pro HL160E | 16 kW | 354–918 cu ft | 200 lbs | 66.7 |
| Virta Pro HL200E | 20 kW | 354–1,130 cu ft | 264 lbs | 58.2 (2-Circuits) |
- Mount to the clearances given in the installation manual. The temperature sensor goes on the wall above the heater, at the height the manual specifies.
- Load the stones loosely by hand, largest at the bottom, so air moves freely between them. Never run the heater with an empty or tightly packed stone space.
- Pour small ladlefuls of clean water onto the hot stones only — never onto the body, elements or controls. Mix any scented oil into the bucket first.
- Re-stack the stones once a year and replace any that have cracked or crumbled.
- This is an LTL freight item. It arrives curbside on a pallet and the carrier calls to book a window — have two people and a pallet jack or dolly ready, and note any damage on the delivery receipt before you sign.
- Stones ship separately on their own freight because of the weight.
Does the Harvia Virta Pro HL160E include a control unit?
No, and it cannot run without one. It needs a separate Harvia control unit, sold separately: Harvia Xenio CX45 or Harvia Fenix FX45. The control mounts outside the hot room, which is what lets you preheat the sauna before you walk in.
Can the Harvia Virta Pro HL160E be plugged into a normal outlet?
No. It is a hardwired appliance on its own dedicated circuit, rated at 66.7 A. A licensed electrician sizes the breaker and conductors from the nameplate and installation manual.
How long does the Harvia Virta Pro HL160E take to heat up?
Harvia does not publish a figure. A correctly sized, well-insulated room is usually ready in 30 to 60 minutes. Consistently longer than an hour normally means the heater is undersized for the room's adjusted cubic feet.
