Critical differences
Uses the shallow 31 in x 13 in x 33 in Virta Pro public product envelope. The official 3D SAT is published as HL220; the app uses a size-derived shallow GLB from that Harvia CAD source.

- Uses the shallow 31 in x 13 in x 33 in Virta Pro public product envelope.
- The official 3D SAT is published as HL220; the app uses a size-derived shallow GLB from that Harvia CAD source.
- Shares the large Virta Pro HL220 CAD body in the app because Harvia maps HL20U3UL to asset 3745.
- Current Harvia public page lists 264.6 lb stones and 354-1130 cu ft room volume for HL20U3UL.
- Current Harvia HL220400 public page lists 30.71 in x 16.14 in x 31.89 in and 308.7 lb stones.
- Virta Pro safety/sensor technical sheets cover HL135, HL160, and HL220; expose HL135 only when a current product/SKU record is available.
- Harvia Virta Pro is listed as commercial grade in SaunaDesignPro.
- Virta Pro now uses size-specific CAD-backed bodies: HL160E gets the shallow 31 in x 13 in x 33 in envelope, while HL200E and HL220 use the larger 30.71 in x 16.14 in x 31.89 in body.
- Current Harvia public rows list HL160U1UL at 200 lb stones and 354-918 cu ft, HL20U3UL at 264.6 lb stones and 354-1130 cu ft, and HL220400 at 308.7 lb stones and 777-1130 cu ft.
- Virta Pro safety distances are stricter than standard Virta: the HL135-HL220 safety sheet lists 50 mm sides for HL135 and 80 mm for HL160/HL220 plus 1290 mm above the stones to the ceiling, and the manual sets a 2100 mm (about 83 in) minimum room height - the planner enforces 80 mm sides, 1290 mm ceiling clearance, and a 84 in minimum ceiling.
- Virta Pro sensor placement: a wall sensor above the heater 50-150 mm below the ceiling, moving to a ceiling-mounted sensor 100 mm out when the heater sits more than 150 mm from the wall.
- The 3745 Virta Pro HL220 SAT is the official 3D source retained for the large body; the HL160 asset is a size-derived shallow variant because Harvia does not publish a separate current HL160 3D SAT in the saved catalog.
