Description
The Hanko STJ is a compact wall-mounted electric sauna heater, designed and handcrafted at Helo’s factory in the port town of Hanko on Finland’s southern coast. Despite its small footprint it holds a remarkable 32 kg of stones, which gives its steam an unusually soft, gentle character for a heater of this size. It is available in 6 kW and 8 kW outputs for sauna rooms of 5–12 m³, each suitable for single-phase or three-phase connection, and the STJ model carries an integrated thermostat with upper limit reset and a 3 + 9 hour timer. Choose between black and chrome finishes; sauna stones are sold separately.

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 Helo 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 connection cable is heat-resistant H07RN-F (60245 IEC 66), and the installation manual in the Downloads tab and local wiring regulations must be followed. The heater hangs on a wall bracket fixed with 6 × 40 mm mounting screws; thin panelling must be reinforced behind the fixing points, and the safety clearances apply even where walls are non-combustible.
Sauna stones
Sauna stones are purchased separately; this heater takes 32 kg. Fill the stone space as directed in the installation manual.
Brand
Helo was founded in 1919 and was the first manufacturer of electric sauna heaters. Its heaters are still handcrafted in Hanko, Finland, and the company is part of the Sauna360 group.
