Quatro 16 TLC

Model – Quatro 16 TLC Top & Clamshell Loading – 120 volt, inside dimensions: 16.5″ x 16.5″ wide x 6 ” deep, fires to 1700° F

The Quatro 16 TLC is a square glass fusing kiln for individuals who need a kiln larger than 14.5″ x 14.5″ wide (Square 146GFE) but not as large as 18″ x 18″ wide (Square 186GFE). 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 glass firing and a body element for the ramping up, down, and annealing segments of the firing.  A selector switch is on the electrical box to designate either the lid or body element to heat during the firing.  Only one of the elements can be used at a time because of the limited power of 120 volts.  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.

Upgrade to the Genesis touchscreen controller for more ramp-hold user programs and multiple features including delay start, preheat, skip step, and many 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.  Other options include a 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!
