How to choose a stove for a Vesuvius bath?

If you decide to install a Vesuvius stove in your bathhouse, then when choosing, pay attention to the following criteria:

1. Is there a connection to the heating system ? The water circuit will allow you to use the stove not only for heating the steam room, but also the entire house.
2. What is the body made of ? Vesuvius stoves are made of stainless steel or cast iron. The latter is more reliable; such devices have a long service life. There are models of mixed type: they have a steel body and a cast iron firebox.
3. Door . It can be cast iron or glass. The latter should have a “clean glass” function - after cooling it cleans itself.
4. Type of heater . An open heater heats the room faster, but the cooling process is much faster. This is an excellent option for rare use of the steam room. Closed heaters are able to accumulate heat due to slow cooling; each time it takes less and less time to heat them up.
5. Safety . The stove body should not have uneven seams, all parts are insulated, the door closes tightly, the heater is welded securely, without chips or cracks.

Installation features

Installation diagram
The brand recommends involving specialists in the installation of equipment. If the owners have the skills or tools, self-installation is allowed. The process goes like this:

1. Laying a red brick base to a height of 6 mm or a fireproof foundation made of 20 cm thick material.
2. Removing the product from the wooden wall by 50 cm.
3. Wall covering with metal sheet. In this case, the distance is reduced to 38 cm.
4. Making a half-brick superstructure with preliminary cutting of the wire frame of the furnace.

The walls can be covered with slab apothecary bricks.

The manufacturer's instructions note the specifics of installation of a particular modification of the stove.

Legend Series

Installation work involves assembling the chimney taking into account the location of the rafters and load-bearing beams:

1. Installation of ceiling trim in section. A hole 130 mm in diameter is made along the axis of the chimney with an angle of inclination along the corner of the roof.
2. Fixation on the outlet pipe of a single-circuit, starting pipe or tank with sealing of the gap.
3. Installation of further elements - tap through the boards with a mallet or hammer.
4. Installing the throttle valve and putting the chimney on it. Passing the starting sandwich through the hole and organizing the support clamp.
5. Laying heat-resistant heat-insulating material - basalt wool, mineral wool.
6. Further assembly of the chimney using sandwich elements along the condensate line.
7. Place a cone clamp on the chimney and tighten it further.
8. Installation of the last sandwich and covering it with an umbrella-head.

After checking the strength, tightness of connections and draft, a test fire is carried out.

Sauna stoves

The equipment is located in the steam room, and the tank is located in the sink. For convenience, a samovar-type heat exchanger is used to heat the water. This increases the efficiency of the device and eliminates heat dissipation through the pipe.

Fireplace installation

The units are installed in rooms with good air flow. The optimal height of smoke channels is 600 cm. The pedestal is made of non-combustible materials. To remove ash, a flood zone is created from a sheet of metal 40 cm in front of the firebox and 10 cm on each side. The distance from the fireplace to the ceiling is from 1.2 m.

The Vesuvius line of stoves provides high-quality heating of the bath, is efficient and economical. The manufacturer produces cast iron models designed for long service life.

Advantages, installation and reviews

Vesuvius sauna stoves have a lot of distinctive features and advantages, the main ones of which include the high degree of safety of such heating devices. At the same time, the fireplaces are based on very reliable, strong connections, presented in the form of bolts and welding; if there are technological joints, they are sealed with ceramic seams that can withstand heating temperatures reaching 1000-1300 degrees Celsius.

The Vesuvius sauna stove can be used equally successfully in a Russian or Finnish sauna, and additional advantages include:

• Ergonomic design;
• Stylish and original design;
• High efficiency up to 80-90 percent;
• A special system with which a glass window can independently clean itself of soot and soot;
• Glass has a high degree of heat resistance and tolerates sudden temperature changes;
• The safety of such heating bath units is at the highest level.

In total, in the assortment and line of this manufacturer, there are various modifications, each of which has its own distinctive features and names (Rusich, Skif, Vertical, Optimum, Premium) and others, which you can familiarize yourself with in detail later in this article.

Successful and safe operation of such sauna stoves primarily depends on how correctly the heating unit is installed. To do this, it is important to decide on a specific place in the bathhouse, insulate it well, seal it, using non-flammable, non-toxic materials, the thickness of the layer should not be less than 20 centimeters.

If the mass of the firebox is large enough, it is necessary to first create an additional foundation, which must have a suitable shape, size, and consist of refractory materials and components.

In no case should the fireplace be placed very close or close to the wall; the minimum distance should be about 40 centimeters (if the wall is lined with fireproof materials or sheets of metal). If there is no wall cladding, the firebox should be located from them, at a minimum distance of 50-70 centimeters.

In order for you to get the maximum benefit from your stay in the steam room, you can use a special coating called apothecary stone to cover the floor, walls and other elements in the room, which, when heated strongly, begins to release beneficial substances into the air, along with characteristic steam.

If you choose between steel and cast iron fireplace stoves, of course, it is best to give preference to cast iron. This option is more durable, the heat in it is generated very intensively, and is distributed fairly evenly throughout the steam room. The basis of such fireboxes is cast iron, the thickness of which is at least 1-2 centimeters; the advantages of the material include a high degree of heat transfer and good accumulation of generated thermal energy.

The large, varied and current line of this manufacturer can be produced in various designs and modifications, which allows you to choose the appropriate power, placement method (wall-mounted, corner), overall dimensions, and design. It is possible to buy in Moscow and the region, a variation with different capacities of the water tank, with a door equipped with a transparent glass-ceramic insert.

The Vesuvius Legend sauna stove, as well as all other products based on steel, are more affordable, they are light in weight, withstand pressure well, and do not scratch. The heating equipment is based on high-quality steel with a thickness of 1.2 centimeters; all vulnerable elements have additional protection and reinforcement, which makes the service life of such fires maximum.

Reviews of the Vesuvius stove, which you can find on various thematic forums, specialized sites, and groups, indicate that such fireplaces can accommodate logs with a length of about 400 millimeters. The disadvantages include the complete absence of a grate, which does not allow full cooking on such a heating unit. It is noted that both steel and cast iron variations are capable of retaining the generated, accumulated thermal energy, releasing it in the bathhouse, for about 3-5 hours after the end of the kindling, which makes it possible to profitably save fuel.

Brand series and their brief description

Domestic has been supplying cast iron stoves to the Russian market since 2004.

During this time, consumers were lucky enough to learn about several series:

• "Premium". The models create the effect of a traditional Russian bath. The cladding is made of mountain stone - soapstone. The firebox perfectly warms up the bath room, retaining heat for quite a long time. Made of steel 5 mm thick;
• "Russian Steam". It gained popularity for its light and velvety vapor. The upper part is equipped with a heater that can hold up to 60 kg of stones. They heat up quickly and distribute heat throughout all bath rooms in a short period of time. Stylish design emphasizes the interior of the bathhouse;
• "Lava". Differs in power. The firebox is made of structural steel, so it warms up the steam room as quickly as possible. A person can regulate the temperature. The stones heat up to 350 degrees and retain heat for a long time;
• "Rusich". These are wood-burning models that fill the sauna with relaxing warmth in a short time. Equipped with open type heaters. They are distinguished by good technical parameters, classic design and low cost;
• "Scythian". It is made of durable metal and operates on solid fuel. The main function of the stove is to instantly heat the steam room and adjacent rooms. The metal compartment can hold more than 200 kg of cobblestones;
• "Optimum". The stove is made of metal and has a low cost. Suitable for use in rooms with an area of ​​6 to 14 square meters. The simple design consists of a basket for stones, a cast-iron door and a remote-type firebox;

• "Legend". Made from durable cast iron. Used in rooms with an area of ​​10 to 30 square meters. The metal thickness is 12 mm, so the stove is the most durable and high-quality representative of Vesuvius.

Types of bath stoves from Vesuvius

The company produces 11 types of stoves for baths and saunas:

• Classic;
• Vertical;
• Optimum;
• Russian steam;
• The president;
• Rusich;
• Lava;
• Premium;
• Elite;
• Legend;
• Scythian.

The name of each model contains several letters that indicate the main characteristics of the model:

• Letter “B” - the stove has a remote fuel channel, allowing it to be heated from an adjacent room.
• The letter “T” indicates the presence of a heat exchanger in the furnace design.
• Letter “H” - the model has a cast iron door.
• “C” - the stove door is equipped with durable fireproof glass, allowing you to observe the combustion process. There is a “clean glass” function.
• “K” - the stove is equipped with an open-type heater in the form of a large mesh made of stainless steel or cast iron.
• “B” - a liquid tank is installed.
• The combination of letters “KV” means a convection-ventilated oven design.
• “H” - the percentage of chromium in stainless steel is at least 18%.

So which model should you choose?

When developing the Rusich model range, engineers relied on the experience of foreign and domestic manufacturers, choosing what works and what is effective. And here is the result: a volumetric ventilated heater that heats stones from four sides at once in record time. And the process is helped by an external convector casing, which forms a fairly powerful convection flow in the steam room. In fact, “Rusich” is the fastest stove for heating a bath.

In the Skif model range, they decided to combine the advantages of metal and brick stoves: to make a super-capacity convection-ventilated casing for a huge number of stones that will heat up to 350˚C. And they accumulate valuable heat for a long time. And the stones in these models are placed in a casing on all sides of the firebox, protecting it at the same time from hard infrared radiation, which is difficult to get rid of in conventional metal stoves. A simple and at the same time unique solution.
