Model – Square 186GFETLC – 120 volt

Inside dimensions: 18″ x 18″ wide x 6 ” deep, fires to 1700° F

Two kilns in one! The Square 186GFETLC is the largest top-loading and clamshell-loading kiln that runs on 120 volts! You get the standard top-loading model plus clamshell loading, which makes it easy and convenient to position glass for flash venting, glass raking, and loading shelves. Glass firing kilns are used for fusing and forming glass shapes, precious metal clay, and heat-treating.

120-volt glass fusing and precious metal clay models are equipped with a lid element for the fusing segment of the firing and a body element for the ramping up and down and annealing segments. A selector switch on the electrical box designates whether the lid or body element is to be heated during firing. Only one element can be used at a time due to the 120-volt power limit. If the selector switch remains in the neutral position, neither element will heat.

Models come equipped with a pilot light, an 18” tall metal stand, a stainless steel jacket, and a Bartlett Instruments KilnStar digital controller.

Two-year Limited Kiln Warranty.

Controller Upgrade and Options

Upgrade to the Genesis touchscreen controller for more ramp-hold user programs and additional features, including delay start, preheat, skip step, and more, for precise firings every time. Messages and information are available for reviewing a firing profile before or during the firing, and for viewing the current segment the firing is in. Options include the lid lift assist, which makes it easy to open and close heavy kiln lids, bead door, quartz glass viewing window, Type S thermocouple, vent, and more!
