Harvia Cilindro PC80 - Cilindro Half Series 8kW Sauna Heater
The Harvia Cilindro PC80 electric heater contains a massive amount of stones for a better sauna experience. Thanks to the grate-like stainless outer shell, each bather can adjust the nature of the steam: soft when throwing water onto the side of the heater and sharp when throwing water straight on top of the stone pillar. Cilindro is impressive to both look at and experience.
Controls are built into the heater, so there is no separate control unit to buy. Approximately 200 lb of 2–4" sauna stones (five 44 lb boxes) are required and sold separately.
Features & materials
- Pillar stone column — Holds 200 lb (90 kg) of 2–4" stones around the heating elements, so heat radiates from the whole stone mass.
- Soft or sharp steam — Throw water on top of the pillar for sharp steam or on the side of the heater for softer steam.
- Half-series casing — Outer casing is partially open at the front only, so the heater sits in a small space against a side wall or in a corner.
- Built-in controls — Timer with 0–8 hour pre-set and a thermostat are mounted on the heater; no separate control unit needed.
- Stainless steel shell — Grate-like stainless outer shell over a steel body.
- Serviceable elements — Three stainless steel Y10-0017 heating elements in direct contact with the stones, replaceable per Harvia's element chart.
- Sauna size — Rated for 141–431 adjusted ft³ rooms.
- Floor-standing install — 14" x 13" footprint with 1.2" side clearances, 4" front and 35" to the ceiling.
- Overheat protector — Cuts the heater's supply if the sauna room temperature becomes dangerously high.
- ETL listed — ETL certified, IPX4 rated, 240 V 1-phase 60 Hz.
- Made in Finland — Designed, engineered and made in Finland by Harvia.

Shipping & delivery
Shipping cost: Shipping on this item is a flat $99 per order within the contiguous US, added at checkout before you pay.
Most in-stock orders ship within 3–5 business days of confirmed payment, and delivery is typically 5–15 business days after shipment. Made-to-order saunas and custom-configured rooms need production time on top of that, which we confirm before the order is released. We ship within the contiguous United States.
Large items ship LTL freight on a pallet, delivered curbside — to the curb or the end of your driveway, often from a trailer up to 53 feet long. Curbside does not include unpacking, assembly, installation or electrical connection. The carrier calls to book an appointment and someone must be there to receive the shipment. Tell us at the time of order if access is limited — narrow or rural roads, steep driveways, gated communities — and ask for liftgate service if you have no dock or forklift.
Inspect the shipment before the driver leaves and before you sign. Count the cartons and pallets against the paperwork, check glass doors and panels, write any damage or shortage on the Delivery Receipt, and photograph it. Email info@plungeintosaunas.com within 48 hours of delivery with your order number, photos and the noted receipt — the same window covers concealed damage and missing items. Keep the packaging while a claim is open.
Cancellations & returns
Cancel before the order has been submitted for fulfillment and it is refunded in full — email info@plungeintosaunas.com with your order number. After that point manufacturer, carrier, return-freight or restocking fees may apply. Every return must be approved by us in writing first: products ship from different manufacturer warehouses, so the correct return address varies, and anything sent back without authorization may be refused.
Return requests are made within 30 days under our general policy; some brands run that window from the date of purchase rather than delivery. Items must be unused, uninstalled, never heated or filled, complete in their original packaging and in resalable condition. Restocking fees run up to 25% depending on the manufacturer, while Harvia, HUUM, SaunaLife, Saunum, Narvi, ThermaSol, Delta, Kohler and Mr. Steam charge no restocking fee at all, only a re-boxing fee of roughly $20–$50 if the original packaging does not come back intact. On a change-of-mind return you pay return shipping and the original outbound shipping is not refunded.
If the item arrived damaged or a manufacturer error is at fault, return shipping is covered for you. Custom, made-to-order and special-order items already in production, clearance and open-box items, heaters that have been wired or fired, tubs and generators that have been filled, assembled or heated rooms, opened consumables and all Canadian Timber Collection products cannot be returned. Ask us before you buy if you are unsure.

Why the Cilindro PC80
An 8 kW Harvia pillar heater with a 200 lb stone column and built-in controls, rated for 141–431 ft³ saunas.
-
1
Pillar stone columnThe Cilindro holds 200 lb of stones around its heating elements, so heat radiates from the whole stone column rather than a small top surface. The large stone mass holds heat between throws of water.
-
2
Soft or sharp steamHarvia's grate-like open casing lets you throw water on the side of the heater for softer steam or straight on top of the stone pillar for a sharper burst. Each bather can adjust the character of the steam.
-
3
Half-series placementThe outer casing is partially open at the front only, so the heater fits a small space with 1.2" side clearances against a side wall or in a corner. Floor-standing with a 14" x 13" footprint.
-
4
Built-in controlsThe timer and thermostat are mounted on the heater itself, with no separate control unit to buy or wire. An overheat protector cuts the supply if the room becomes dangerously hot.

Heater Size Calculator
At 8.0 kW this heater is rated for sauna rooms of 141 to 431 adjusted cu ft.
A heater that is too small never reaches temperature; one that is too big cycles on and off and gives harsh, dry heat. Match the rated range to your room's adjusted volume — the calculator does the maths in under a minute, or call us with your dimensions.
- 8.0 kW 141431
The shaded bar is the room size this heater is rated for. Work out your room's adjusted cubic feet below, then check the number lands inside the bar.
Working out your adjusted cubic feet
- Room volume — length × width × height in feet.
- Glass and stone add load — count about 4 cu ft extra per square foot of glass, tile or stone wall.
- Uninsulated or log walls — multiply the total by 1.5.

How the Cilindro PC80 is built
Setting up
What happens between checkout and your first session.
-
The PC80 ships as a single parcel by UPS or FedEx Ground — 37.5 lb for the heater, about 42 lb boxed. Stones are not included, and this heater takes five 44 lb boxes; order them together and the whole shipment moves by LTL freight to the curb instead. Check the carton for damage before you sign.

-
Harvia sets this heater's minimum safety distances at 1.2" to the side walls, 4" in front and 35" from the top of the heater to the ceiling, in a room at least 75" high — the same figures are on the spec table above and in the installation manual. The PC80 runs on a dedicated 240 V, 1-phase circuit: 33.4 A on 8 AWG copper for a single-group connection, or 22.3 A per group on 12 AWG for a two-group connection, with wire rated to 194°F. Harvia requires the connection to be made by a licensed electrician.

-
The PC80 is rated for rooms of 141–431 adjusted cubic feet. Start with width × length × height, then adjust upward for glass, tile or stone, which all add load. Our Heater Size Calculator does that adjustment for you — or call us and we'll size it with you before you order.

-
The PC80 arrives without stones: budget about 200 lb of 2–4" Harvia AC3000 stones, which is five 44 lb boxes. No separate control unit is needed, as the timer and thermostat are built into the heater. Rinse and stack the stones loosely before the first heat-up, and add a bucket and ladle if you want to throw water.
