Wiring

Coated Flexible Metallic Conduit Wiring When buying a sauna, make sure to ask if the wires are inside a coated flexible steel conduit. The steel conduit helps in the following:
  • Protect the wires from external damage.
  • Reduce electrical fire hazard.
  • PVC coating on the outside provides water and moisture protection.
  • Provides Electro-magnetic Field (EMF) shielding.


Heaters

Because heaters work in a close proximity to dry wood, each heater should have a temperature sensitive switch.

Carbon Fiber Heaters:
Carbon fiber heaters should include the following:
  • The back of the heater should be insulated
  • Temperature sensitive switch attached to the back each heater
  • The heater should not be touching the wooden walls (about 1 inch away) to prevent fire hazerds

Ceramic Heaters
If you are buying a ceramic heaters, make sure of the following:
  • Each heater is equiped with a heat senstive switch
  • The heater should be mounted inside a double layer metalic sheilding
  • Each heater should have a front cover (heat protection) to pervent skin burns
  • The sauna should have a built in backrest
