    ALLOWS CHECK YOUR SAUNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING HEIGHT

    At right is an exposed sauna wall showing blocking to mount the sauna heater and the intake vent. This is our method for most wall-mounted sauna heaters with 50 lbs of rocks

    • Add blocking between your studs, so it’s ready for your installer or electrician to hang the sauna heater on the wall.
      NOTE: IF your sauna is a DROP 4.5, 7.5o 9 OR a Spirit 6 or 8 weighing about 150 lbs., consider doubling the studs!
    • Below the heater blocking is the intake vent opening. It sits right on the bottom plate of the wall. So very close to your hard floor. Generally, we make a 4×6″ vent opening IF the heater is 8kW or less, and 6×8″ vent opening if 9kW or bigger
    • The intake vent does NOT need to be under the heater. It can be within 3 feet. In small saunas ≤ 4×6, you can also vent under the door (ie., the gap)

    Later the sauna wall will be filled with R-13 insulation — excepting for the vent opening! Air will flow through the intake vent and into the sauna. The exit vent allows some air to exit the sauna. We cover the exterior of the vent with a grill and the intake with a sliding door.

    Sauna heater installation / Hanging a wall-mounted sauna heater

    Set your heater’s top mounting nuts at 23 inches off the hard floor (tile, cement, linoleum, etc.). This should leave between 6 ½–8″ from the hard floor to the bottom of the heater’s shroud.
