Kiln Spare Parts          Looking for? Elements  Pyrometers

All electrical parts and thermocouples are non-returnable.  Please make sure you are buying the right one.  While Type-K thermocouples are all the same electrically, the kiln manufacturers use different styles, lengths, diameters, and also add mounting hardware for particular applications.  Therefore, thermocouples are not plug-in compatible / interchangeable with one-another.  It's important you purchase the correct one for your brand/model of kiln.  We stock some thermocouples but not all.  Some are direct shipped from the manufacture.   

Some of the manufacturers of these parts charge packing fees so if we do not have the part in our inventory we may have to pass these fees along.  If this happens we will let you know before processing the order.  We usually have all the parts on this page in stock but not in large quantities.

* Newer kilns use 8 gauge thermocouples. Older ones used 14 gauge.  It is recommended that you drill out the brick in older kilns to accept the larger diameter 8 gauge thermocouples.  If you prefer not to do that, purchase the 14 gauge. 

Skutt

Thermocouple, Type-K, 6 in, 8 ga, open element (Skutt PN 1515).
KPSKTC1515a.jpg (37289 bytes)
For use in kiln mounted, KilnMaster controllers.  (Best replacement for all Skutt kiln-mounted controllers.  If you currently have a  sheathed thermocouple, this is your most reliable replacement.  However, it may require slight kiln modification, drilling of skin and kiln brick, to install.)  (replacement instructions)
$17
Thermocouple, Type-K, 6 in, sheathed  (Skutt PN 1594).  
KPSKTC1594a.jpg (36842 bytes)
For use in kiln mounted, KilnMaster/ GlassMaster controllers.  (Same-part replacement for Skutt kiln-mounted controllers with sheathed thermocouples purchased prior to Feb 2004.  If you currently have a  sheathed thermocouple, this is the most direct replacement.  No kiln modification required.  However, these thermocouples are considered unreliable when fired above 1800F.  Purchase for use low-fire use only.   (replacement instructions)
