{"product_id":"evenheat-gts-17-glass-kiln","title":"Evenheat GTS 17 Glass Kiln","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 17 is designed exclusively for the personal studio and is perfectly large enough and small enough all at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe firing chamber fits our 16\" x 16\" shelf that offers 1.8 cubic feet of firing surface. The 13.5\" depth means you're good-to-go for tall draping and slumping projects. All this in a personal studio package that's just a little over 2 feet wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 17 is designed and built with the same feature-set and performance standards as our larger models and is well suited for all glass firing operations including fusing, slumping, draping, painting and kiln-casting up to 1800°F (982°C)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 17 features our TAP II, Icon+, Icon and Rampmaster 3 controls and is standard equipped with our exclusive Swing View Adjustable Viewing and Quiet Drive Solid State Relay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTop Load\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFiber \u0026amp; Firebrick Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 17 is constructed of both fiber and firebrick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiber is used in the lid to speed up the firing process to avoid devitrification and provide for a lighter weight lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirebrick 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSwing View Equipped\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eGTS 17 temperature controls are fitted to our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP II as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eQuiet Drive Solid State\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 17 is standard equipped with our Quiet Drive Solid State Relay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eRelay Access Port\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 17 incorporates our Relay Access Port for simple, no-panel-off relay replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimply 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a given that mechanical relays will fail at some point. This relay access port really comes in handy when they do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBench-Top Operation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 17 can be placed directly on your counter or bench-top or within the included floor stand (see below), the choice is yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note that counters and bench tops must be constructed of non-combustible material and be capable of supporting the load of the kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eElemented Fiber Lid\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFloor Stand included\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 17 is supplied with a 16\" stand for optional floor placement if desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaintenance Parts Tag\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWish we had this decades ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePower Interrupt Switch Equipped\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is important for those who may access the kiln during firing such as glass manipulation and roll-ups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuild options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMultiple Control Options\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 17 is available in a variety of controls including the Icon, Icon+, Tap II and Rampmaster 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eVoltage Options\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur default production for GTS 17 is 240V, Single Phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe do offer to build in 200V, 208V, 220V and 230V by request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll controls available on the GTS 17 will operate properly on both 50Hz and 60Hz line frequencies.
