Actually we use 360'F heads in our sauna's and 286 in steam rooms. Steam is 212'F max unless its under pressure, (at a pressure above atmospheric) which should never occur in a steam room. The sauna is higher because the electrical cut out is usually well over 200'F (As high as 300). We protect both as light haz.. even tho the sauna has un-treated wood thru out, can have more in the way of combustible lotions oils and towels in contact with the dry heat element, than is usually able to happen in the non-combustible steam room.

I talked with a sauna rep awhile back on this same issue.  They
recommend a 286 deg head.
