Load depth is about 32\" which is at waist height or lower. The 15.5\" shelf is not heavy at all and is very easy to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAll Firebrick Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with the original design the GTS 18 is constructed completely of firebrick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirebrick is desired in a glass kiln as it stores heat in the beginning of the firing which acts to smooth out temperature swings. It then releases heat slowly at the completion of the firing resulting in very calm annealing, especially over an annealing range. It's just beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with any glass kiln, you want a portion of firebrick in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSwing View Equipped\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eGTS 18 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 Relays\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eGTS 18 models are standard equipped with our Quiet Drive Solid State Relays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System offers tight temperature control, high reliability and increased heating element life. 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 18 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 relays. 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\u003e2 Position Lid Vent\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 18 is equipped with a 2 position lid vent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lower vent position props the lid by about an inch. Perfect for venting off adhesives and other low temperature binding materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe upper vent position props the lid by about 4 inches. Perfect for speeding up the cooling process.\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 18 indicating the proper Evenheat part numbers for anticipated maintenance items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWish we had this decades ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuild options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMultiple Control Options\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 18 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\u003eRolling Option\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 18 is easily made mobile with our rolling option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 18 base is equipped to accept our casters.
