Description
The Tulikivi Routa Rigata is a wall-mounted electric sauna heater clad in horizontally grooved soapstone, available in 4.5 kW, 6 kW and 9 kW outputs for saunas of 3–13 m³. Its shape and small safety distances allow it to be fitted in even a compact sauna, yet the stone space is generous, so the löyly stays soft and damp. The soapstone casing stores heat and releases it slowly, which improves the quality of the steam and helps to dry the sauna after bathing. Sauna stones and the control system are purchased separately: the heater is compatible with the Tulikivi Complete Wi-Fi Control System and with the HUUM UKU Local and Wi-Fi controllers, and we recommend two 20 kg boxes of 5–10 cm Olivine Diabase or Vulcanite sauna stones.

Installation
Installation and maintenance must be carried out by a certified electrician, with the electricity supply isolated at the fuse panel before any work begins. Under IEC 60364-7-703 and BS 7671:2018 an electric sauna heater does not have to be connected through an RCD, and for reliable operation the manufacturer recommends that the heater supply is not run through one; other electrical devices in the sauna room should be RCD protected. A local point of isolation covering all live conductors is recommended. The installation manual in the Downloads tab and local wiring regulations must be followed. The Routa is supplied as a D-model body without a control unit, so a compatible control system must be installed with it and the thermostat and overheating protection positioned as shown in the manual. The heater is wall mounted and the fixing must be strong enough to carry the heater and its full stone load; panelling alone is not sufficient.
Sauna stones
The heater takes approximately 35 kg of sauna stones, purchased separately. We recommend two 20 kg boxes of 5–10 cm Olivine Diabase or Vulcanite sauna stones. Only stones intended for sauna heaters should be used; ceramic stones and lava stones must not be used.
Brand
Tulikivi is a Finnish soapstone specialist, known for heaters that use stone mass to soften and extend the heat.
Warranty
Tulikivi provides a two-year warranty for private use and a one-year warranty for commercial use.
