Large Sauna Electrical Enclosure
Designed for larger outdoor sauna electrical components that require more room than a small controller enclosure.
IP67-Rated Weather Protection
The SaunaGear 302 is IP67 rated to help protect against dust and water intrusion when installed correctly.
UV-Stabilized Polycarbonate Construction
The enclosure body is made from UV-stabilized polycarbonate to support durability in outdoor environments.
Stainless Steel Latches
Stainless steel latches help keep the enclosure securely closed and provide corrosion-resistant detail for exterior use.
Continuous Gasket Seal
A continuous gasket helps maintain a protective seal around the enclosure door when properly closed.
Hinged Access Door
The hinged access door allows service access while helping keep equipment protected when closed.
Internal Mounting Panel Included
The included internal mounting panel creates a clean surface for mounting compatible equipment inside the enclosure.
Mounting Feet Included
Enclosure mounting feet are included for secure installation on an approved surface.
Important Exterior Electrical Requirement
If Electrical Equipment Is Mounted Outside on an Exposed Sauna, Use a Waterproof Enclosure
If your sauna’s electrical equipment will be installed on the exterior of an outdoor sauna and exposed to rain, snow, humidity, moisture, or direct weather, it should be installed inside a properly sized waterproof electrical enclosure.
This is especially important for:
- Outdoor saunas without a covered porch or overhang
- Electrical equipment mounted on an exposed side wall
- Rainy, snowy, coastal, or humid climates
- Outdoor sauna kits with exterior-mounted controls or power components
- Installations where equipment cannot be placed in a dry, protected indoor location
A waterproof enclosure helps protect sensitive components and supports a cleaner, more reliable installation. It does not replace licensed electrician installation, manufacturer requirements, or local electrical code.
SaunaGear 302 vs. SaunaGear 300
Choose the Correct Enclosure for the Equipment You Are Protecting
The SaunaGear 302 is the larger enclosure option and is intended for compatible sauna electrical equipment that requires more interior space.
The SaunaGear 300 is the smaller enclosure option and is typically used for small digital sauna control panels or touchscreens.
A simple way to think about it:
- SaunaGear 300: Small digital controller / touchscreen enclosure with a clear door to see the control panel.
- SaunaGear 302: Larger sauna electrical equipment enclosure
Always confirm the dimensions of the equipment being installed, wiring requirements, ventilation needs, and code requirements with your licensed electrician before ordering.

Installation Notes
The SaunaLife SaunaGear 302 should be installed according to the enclosure instructions, sauna equipment manuals, and local electrical code.
General installation guidance:
- Confirm your electrical equipment fits inside the enclosure before ordering
- Have all electrical work completed by a licensed electrician
- Install on a flat, stable, approved mounting surface
- Maintain the gasket seal and close the hinged door after service access
- Use proper weather-rated fittings for all wire penetrations
- Avoid unnecessary drilling that could compromise the weatherproof rating
- Do not mount too close to the sauna heater or other high-heat areas
- Confirm equipment ventilation requirements before enclosing components
- Protect wiring and penetrations from water intrusion
- Follow all manufacturer manuals and local code requirements
The enclosure is designed to help protect compatible equipment, but correct installation is essential for proper protection.
