GT 4050 Features Wide Lid Handle At Evenheat we love handles, we always have. Our wide lid handle illustrates this affection by offering a wide handle that’s corner mounted and and easy to operate, even with the gloved hand. It’s unlike any other and it’s a joy to use. |

|
GT 4050 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 4050 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 rectangular 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 4050 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 4050 Features Responsive Thermocouples Our thermocouples (temperature sensors) are chosen for their quick response and reliable performance. Our standard thermocouple is a Type K. |
|
|
|
|
|
GT 4050 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 4050 Features Excellent Temperature Distribution Evenheat glass kilns are true to their name and the GT 4050 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 4050. The GT 4050 uses a 13.75" x 17.75" rectangular shelf. Keep in mind that the shelf must be primed before use and that we do recommend uses posts below the shelf. Posts 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 4050 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 4050 is designed to fire a single layer or shelf. The nature of the GT 4050
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.
