Top Load

The GTS 17 is a top loading design and offers a 17" x 17"chamber, 13.5" deep. Our easy to handle 16" x 16" shelf translates into 1.8 square feet of glass firing bliss.

Fiber & Firebrick Design

The GTS 17 is constructed of both fiber and firebrick.

Fiber is used in the lid to speed up the firing process to avoid devitrification and provide for a lighter weight lid.

Firebrick is used in both the walls and floor and provides excellent heat-storage properties which helps smooth out temperature swings and is awesome for annealing. By its nature, firebrick cleans up the temperature fluctuations that "all-fiber" kilns experience. You want a portion of firebrick in your glass kiln.

Swing View Equipped

GTS 17 temperature controls are fitted to our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure.

The swing view is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows you to rotate the control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. Once you're done, lay it back down to see it from across your studio. It's that simple.

The swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP II as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it.

Quiet Drive Solid State

The GTS 17 is standard equipped with our Quiet Drive Solid State Relay.

Our Quiet Drive solid state system delivers tight temperature control, long life and desired heating element response. The Quiet Drive is arguably the best designed and best performing solid state system on the market.

Relay Access Port

The GTS 17 incorporates our Relay Access Port for simple, no-panel-off relay replacement.

Simply remove the access plate to gain access to the mechanical relay. There's no need to remove the control panel and dig into the internal wiring. It's absolutely simple and effective and all it takes is a screwdriver!

It's a given that mechanical relays will fail at some point. This relay access port really comes in handy when they do.

Bench-Top Operation

The GTS 17 can be placed directly on your counter or bench-top or within the included floor stand (see below), the choice is yours.

Please note that counters and bench tops must be constructed of non-combustible material and be capable of supporting the load of the kiln.

Elemented Fiber Lid

The lid of the GTS 17 is constructed of a special fiber material that provides excellent thermal properties along with light weight. This design allows the heating elements to be positioned on the surface for maximum heat transfer and firing efficiency.

We also position these lid heating elements left to right to prevent them from sagging or bunching-up with repeated opening and closing. It's a small but important detail that guarantees performance and satisfaction over the life of the kiln.

Floor Stand included

The GTS 17 is supplied with a 16" stand for optional floor placement if desired.

Maintenance Parts Tag

To assist you in replacing worn items we have included a maintenance parts tag on the GTS 17 indicating the proper Evenheat part numbers for anticipated maintenance items.

Wish we had this decades ago.

Power Interrupt Switch Equipped

The GTS 17 is standard equipped with a power interrupt switch which removes electrical power from all heating elements if either the lid or chamber is opened.

This is important for those who may access the kiln during firing such as glass manipulation and roll-ups.

Multiple Control Options

The GTS 17 is available in a variety of controls including the Icon, Icon+, Tap II and Rampmaster 3.

At Evenheat we take the best control platforms on the market and make them even better by adding Special Limits thermocouples for precise temperature sensing and non-metallic faceplates for stellar Wi-Fi reception for on-line Apps.

Voltage Options

Our default production for GTS 17 is 240V, Single Phase.

We do offer to build in 200V, 208V, 220V and 230V by request.

All controls available on the GTS 17 will operate properly on both 50Hz and 60Hz line frequencies. To say it another way, line frequency has no effect. It doesn't matter.

Evenheat recommends that you check your operating voltage before ordering or placing the kiln in service.

Voltage Phase Options

GTS 17 models are produced in a single phase design only.

3 phase Delta and Y (380V, 400V and 415V) designs are not available.
