Critical differences
Harvia Virta is listed as commercial grade in SaunaDesignPro. This Virta page is scoped to the US non-Combi HL60E, HL80E, and HL90E family up to 9 kW; HL60E uses the deeper 3739 body, HL80E/HL90E use the smaller 3743 body, and HL110E plus Virta Combi use separate planning checks.
3 more notes shown below.
US Virta scope
HL60E / HL80E / HL90E; non-Combi; up to 9 kW
The Marketplace embed and SEO page intentionally exclude Virta Combi steamer packages and the deeper HL110E body.
US clearance basis
2" front / side / back on current Harvia US HL60E-HL90E pages
The local manual/safety sheet also lists 1.18" around the heater and 43.3" to ceiling; use the stricter listing/AHJ value where values conflict.
Sensor / airflow
Wall-distance dependent sensor location
The Virta sensor sheet distinguishes 30-150 mm wall-distance installs from >150 mm installs where the sensor moves to the ceiling. Keep supply airflow from cooling the sensor.
3D model basis
CAD-backed size-specific Virta non-Combi GLBs
The HL80E and HL90E previews use the smaller polished 3743 body, while HL60E uses the deeper 3739 body. Planner dimensions, clearances, and sizing remain row-specific. Virta Combi steam components and the HL110E row stay excluded from this page.

- Current Harvia US HL60E/HL80E/HL90E product pages list 2 in front, side, and back clearance; the local Virta HL safety drawing/manual also lists 30 mm around the heater and 1100 mm to ceiling, so use the stricter listing/AHJ value where values conflict.
- Virta sensor placement changes with heater distance from the wall: the sensor sheet distinguishes 30-150 mm wall-distance installs from >150 mm installs where the sensor moves to the ceiling.
- Virta HL60E-HL90E US rows use 110 lb stones; heating elements are separated from the stones and the stones should be rearranged during regular maintenance.
