GT 14-6 Features
Rampmaster w/ Express Mode Controller The GT 14-6 is stock equipped with our Rampmaster w/ Express Mode controller. The Rampmaster w/ Express Mode was designed exclusively for glass work. Express Mode offers an easy, 3 step programming process. Simply key in your glass COE, firing style and firing speed to create the firing program. It's quick, it's easy and it's accurate. The Rampmaster with Express Mode also features many single key features like Skip Ahead, Add Time, Add Temp and Alarm. Of course the Rampmaster continues to offer Custom Mode programming for full artistic control. The Rampmaster with Express Mode has set a new standard for glass kiln design and control. New for 2010 is our updated Alarm package that alerts you when the glass begins to change shape and when it's headed for the anneal. You'll never miss an opportunity to be at the kiln when you need to be! |

GT 14-6 Features Full Stainless Jacket Multi-section kilns are designed to lower production costs for the kiln manufacturer. It's a worthy goal but it comes at the cost of kiln quality. It’s a trade off we’re not willing to make. We build our kilns with full stainless jackets from top to bottom. Full jackets mean absolutely solid, life extending construction. There are no leaks, no shifting, no buckles and no weakness. Insist on Full Stainless Jackets for true build quality. |

GT 14-6 Features Corner Mounting Technique The corners of the kiln body and lid provide excellent strength for mounting. The flat sides of the kiln don’t offer this strength, especially on oval shaped kilns. We install our load bearing hinge and lid handle brackets on these corners for this reason. Longer life, high reliability: solid design makes a difference. |

GT 14-6 Features Properly Sized Kiln Stands We don’t design our stands to fit into our kilns for shipping. We design our stands to support our kilns in use. Our stands properly distribute the weight of the kiln and are made wide to prevent tipping or offsetting. You won’t find our stands in our kilns but you’ll be happy to know they’re beneath them. |

GT 14-6 Features 2 Position Lid Vent The GT 14-6 is equipped with a 2 position lid vent. Lid venting helps remove burn-off from adhesives and paints and comes in handy during the cooling process. |

GT 14-6 Features Responsive Thermocouples Our thermocouples (temperature sensors) are chosen for their quick response and reliable performance. Our standard thermocouple is a Type K. Type S thermocouples are available by request at additional charge. |

GT 14-6 Features Lid Power Interrupt Switch Option Our optional automatic power interrupt removes power from all heating elements as the lid is opened and reapplies power as the lid is closed. The switch used for this feature is a true safety switch and is designed specifically for safety applications. Those wishing to enter the kiln during firing should strongly consider requesting this option as an added measure of safety. |

GT 14-6 Features Tall 16" Stand Option The GT 14-6 is stock equipped with an 8" stand. We do offer a taller 16" stand for those who wish to raise the kiln. |

GT 14-6 Features Vent System Option
Evenheat offers the Orton Downdraft
Vent System as an option. Is venting necessary in glass work? That depends.
Vents are nice if you're firing paints, decals or other items that may need
oxygen to develop color properly. Vents also help to remove the fumes which may
be generated when firing these types of items. Typical fusing and slumping don't
require a vent. Evenheat offers the Orton kiln vent systems exclusively. Orton’s
reliable and well considered designs fit well with Evenheat designs and we’re
pleased offer their products. Excellent Temperature Distribution
Evenheat glass kilns are true to
their name and the GT 14-6 is no different. Our designs are well known for
their excellent temperature uniformity. They’re done well and you’ll appreciate
the performance. Shelves We recommend using a shelf for all firings in the GT 14-6. The GT 14-6 uses a 12” round shelf. Keep in mind that the shelf must be primed before use and that we do recommend uses posts below the shelf.
We recommend using posts to
bring the shelves off the kiln floor. This helps to heat the shelf evenly while
reducing and eliminating bubbles. While we do offer a wide selection of post
heights we do recommend the use of either 1” or 2” posts. We also recommend
using at least 4 posts to support each shelf. Suitability
The GT 14-6 is designed to fire
glass and is quite capable of all glass related firing up to 1650°F (900°C),
such as painting, fusing, slumping, casting, etc. It should be noted that the
GT 14-6 is designed to fire a single layer or shelf. The nature of the GT 14-6
is to provide heat from the lid elements directly to the shelf containing the
glass. Attempting to fire glass below the top shelf is likely to lead to
frustration and disappointment.
