WALL MOUNTED VENT BLOWER
The vent blower motor is mounted on the wall. This keeps the heat of the
kiln away from the motor (for long motor life) and keeps the motor vibration
away from the kiln (which can cause ware to move, damage to the kiln, and
misfiring of cones on a Dawson Kiln Sitter).
VACUUM IS SAFER THAN PRESSURE
The vent tubing is kept under vacuum instead of pressure (unlike competitive
brands). This insures that any leak in the tubing does not blow noxious
fumes into your room.
EXTERNAL VENTING IS BETTER
External venting is safer and surer than venting to the inside of your kiln
room with a filter.
LARGE CAPACITY
The blower vents up to 130 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This will handle up
to a 20 cubic foot kiln (and usually larger). More than one vent can be
attached to a kiln. Only 1.37 amps.
SIX FOOT POWER CORD WITH ON/OFF SWITCH
The blower motor features a 6 foot long 120 volt 15 amp power cord. An
On/Off switch is located on the cord.
ADJUSTABLE VENT CONTROL
A vacuum bypass on the kiln bypass/collection box adjusts the amount of
venting from the system. Don't waste heat and energy by venting more than
you need. Adjust vent to kiln size.
15-FEET OF FLEXIBLE ALUMINUM DUCT
15 feet of flexible expandable aluminum 3" diameter duct is included
along with necessary hose clamps. Longer lengths or lengths of 3" stove
pipe can be used as well. Length can be as great as 60 feet horizontal or
vertical with up to three 90 degree bends.
PATENTED ORTON DOWNDRAFT TECHNOLOGY
The VENT-SURE downdraft ventilation system is produced under license from
The Edward Orton Jr Ceramic Foundation and is covered by US Patent Nos.
4,863,374 and 4,978,295. This technology produces better firing by promoting
higher temperature uniformity in the kiln.
We suggest using one per every 20 cubic feet of kiln interior.
