One of the noteworthy details highlighted in a product walkthrough of the Parovar 18 K505 is its sectional cast iron firebox construction.
The reviewed stove was shown with a firebox consisting of three main cast iron sections, connected by mechanical fasteners. The reviewer also demonstrated the internal flame-deflector arrangement, which guides hot combustion gases toward the upper flue area rather than allowing them to travel through a completely unobstructed firebox.
For sauna stove distributors, this construction is relevant because the firebox is an assembled mechanical structure rather than a single welded steel shell.
A sectional design can also provide useful points of discussion about component inspection, assembly quality, and replacement-part planning. However, the availability and replacement procedure for individual firebox sections should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s current technical documentation.
K505 Glass Door and Remote Fuel Channel Assembly
The K505 cast iron door is an important part of the Parovar 18 K505 configuration.
In the reviewed unit, the door was secured to the remote fuel channel using four bolts, while the channel itself connected to the main firebox.
This helps explain how the fire-loading assembly is arranged: the glass door, extension channel, and firebox perform different functions within the complete stove.
The K505 door measures approximately 490 × 490 mm and includes heat-resistant glass measuring 362 × 313 × 4 mm.
With the remote channel passing through a suitable wall, the fire door can face a relaxation room or dressing room while the main stone heater remains inside the sauna.
For importers and private-label buyers, door and channel configurations are relevant product-development options. Compatibility between different doors and channels should be confirmed before choosing an alternative configuration.

Combustion Air Adjustment and Ash Cleaning
The product walkthrough also demonstrated combustion air adjustment near the K505 door and an ash compartment below the fire-loading area.
The reviewer showed an adjustable plate mechanism associated with combustion air supply, as well as access for ash removal during maintenance.
These details help distributors explain that wood-fired sauna heaters require proper air management and regular ash cleaning.
Air-control settings should always follow the instructions supplied with the specific stove configuration. The review demonstrates the mechanism, but it should not be used as a substitute for the official operating manual.
For retail buyers, the practical message is that the K505 configuration combines flame visibility with service access and combustion controls.
Understanding the 115 mm Flue Connection
The Parovar 18 K505 product specification lists a 115 mm top chimney outlet.
In the product walkthrough, the reviewer measured approximately 130 mm on the outside of the flue collar and approximately 115 mm on the inside.
This distinction can be important when selecting chimney pipes and connection accessories.
A nominal chimney diameter does not necessarily describe every external dimension of the cast iron collar. The final installation must match the actual connection geometry and the applicable chimney system.
For wholesale projects, importers should confirm the flue collar drawing, mating-pipe dimensions, chimney draft requirements, and installation method before ordering chimney accessories.
Open Stone Basket and Possible Heater Configurations
Parovar 18 K505 is supplied as an open-stone sauna heater configuration with a forged steel mesh basket around the cast iron firebox.
The basket is designed to accommodate approximately 120 kg of sauna stones.
The product walkthrough also discusses different stone-basket appearances and a separate enclosed heater arrangement using additional metal components.
These observations demonstrate why the stone basket should be treated as an important configuration item in wholesale purchasing.
However, the standard supply package, available basket styles, and compatibility of any enclosed heater kit must be confirmed for the current production version.
An open stone basket and a closed heater chamber are not automatically interchangeable. They can differ in airflow, stone heating, installation requirements, and operating characteristics.
For OEM projects, stone-basket appearance and construction can be discussed as possible development areas, subject to engineering evaluation.
Elevated Stone Support and Maintenance Access
The reviewed sauna stove also featured a raised support structure beneath the stone compartment.
The reviewer observed a perforated metal support and clearance underneath the basket, allowing space for air movement and cleaning access.
This is a useful construction detail for distributors, particularly when customers ask about maintenance around the stove base.
The raised support does not eliminate the need for an approved installation base or the clearances required by the appliance manual and local fire-safety rules.
Additional FAQ
Does Parovar 18 K505 use a sectional cast iron firebox?
A product walkthrough shows a three-section cast iron firebox assembled with mechanical fasteners. Buyers requiring exact construction drawings or replacement-section information should confirm the current production specification.
Is the chimney connection 115 mm or 130 mm?
The official product specification lists a 115 mm chimney diameter. The reviewed collar was described as approximately 130 mm externally and 115 mm internally. The correct chimney connection should be selected using the manufacturer’s dimensional drawing.
Can the K505 door be replaced with another Parovar door?
Parovar has multiple door configurations, but compatibility depends on the matching fuel channel and installation design. Alternative configurations should be confirmed before ordering.
Is the stone basket included in the standard quotation?
The product page specifies an open stone basket and a 120 kg stone capacity. The exact supply scope, basket design, and whether sauna stones are included should be confirmed in the commercial quotation.
Is a closed stone heater kit available?
A reviewed retail configuration discusses an enclosed heater arrangement. Current factory availability, compatibility, and supply terms require separate confirmation.
