555mm Quartz Halogen Infrared Heater Tube SK15 – 400W
High-quality replacement quartz halogen heater tube designed for full spectrum infrared sauna systems. This 555mm ruby tube with fly leads is commonly used in wall-recessed heater panels and is compatible with a wide range of infrared saunas, including models found in Solace Saunas and Red Earth Saunas.
Built for reliable heat output and straightforward installation, this style of element features ceramic end caps with integrated fly leads, allowing connections to be made remotely in a cooler zone of the heater assembly.
Key Features
-
555mm overall length (OAL)
-
400W output – 230V
-
Ruby quartz glass (full spectrum / near infrared)
-
Ceramic end caps for high heat resistance
-
SK15 with Fly lead connection type
-
Designed for wall-recessed infrared heater panels
Connection Type (Important)
This heater uses a fly lead configuration, meaning:
-
The tube clips into ceramic holders at each end
-
Power is connected via heat-resistant leads
-
Leads are typically terminated in a junction/terminal block positioned away from the heat zone (usually at the bottom of the heater assembly)
This design improves longevity of electrical connections and simplifies servicing.
Compatibility
Suitable for many infrared sauna systems using recessed quartz heaters, including:
-
Solace Saunas
-
Red Earth Saunas
-
Other full spectrum infrared units using 555mm SK15-style ceramic mounts with fly leads
