Location & Installation"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Olympic gas kilns burners are factory set for use on either propane, or natural gas from a street main. If propane is used, your tank must have a low-pressure regulator like those on a camper or trailer. If an adjustable regulator is used approximately \u00be to 1 \u00bd pounds of pressure is necessary. The table below is the minimum size tank for a cone 10 firing for each DownDraft model. You need to purchase a larger tank than the cone 10 firing requirement so that you are not having to refill the tank after each firing.<\/p>\n

If your kiln was ordered for use on household natural gas, it is equipped this way.<\/p>\n Assembly of Kiln<\/h3>\nOlympic DownDraft kilns are shipped ready to fire. There is no assembly or putting the kiln together, unless you have requested a custom kiln. If you have requested a custom order, example a DownDraft kiln with outside dimensions that cannot normally go through a 34 \u00bd” door. If the door has to be taken off, or some other irregular situation is needed, contact Olympic Kilns before dismantling the kiln to maintain your warranty and to insure that no damage occurs to the kiln.<\/p>\n Venting DownDrafts<\/h3>\nProper ventilation is required when firing your gas kiln. Gas kilns fired outside may not require venting. When purchasing vents it is often best to choose a local HVAC or sheet metal manufacturer. or Olympic Kilns can manufacturer one for you. Vent dimensions need to be larger than the outside diameter of the kiln. Diameter at the top of the vent needs to be 10″ discharging into an exhaust pipe required by building conditions or local codes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":806,"parent":491,"menu_order":50,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-resources-sub-nav-vertical.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n |
