Orton VentMaster Kiln Vent (Installed after the kiln is set up)
The patented Orton VentMaster not only vents fumes but also improves firing results.
It pulls fresh oxygen into the kiln for brighter colours, especially noticeable with red and orange glazes and decals. Fire red and green glazes in the same load without glaze contamination. The Vent Master draws air from the kiln, dilutes it with room air, and pushes it outdoors through a vent hose.
The extra oxygen and increased air movement help burn carbon out of the clay, which helps eliminate a host of firing problems: bloating, dark patches in the clay, porcelain mildew, pinholes, pitting, blisters, and bubbles.
The Vent Master removes fumes containing volatile metals, fluorides and sulphur oxides. You can fire even lusters, decals, metallics, and pate-de-verre glass without strong odour.
The flow of fresh air helps even out the temperature throughout the kiln.
The vent also extends the life of the Kiln Sitter tube assembly, since fumes by-pass the tube. You will enjoy the convenience of the Vent Master. Throughout the firing, keep the lid closed and peephole plugs inserted. You no longer need to remember to lower the hot lid from vented position.
Note: The Vent Master requires a separate 120v or 240v depending on model wall plug unless your kiln is equipped with the AOP vent.
Plug not supplied and must be fitted by a licensed electrician. Assembly required with drilling into your kiln to insert this attachment.
