Authorized Olympic dealer · full factory warranty

Brand new and shipped direct from Olympic Kilns, so it carries Olympic's full factory warranty. If something goes wrong, call us and we handle the claim with the factory for you.

Warranty terms are in the Warranty and support section below.

Returns: request within 15 days, unused

Because kilns are heavy and often built to order, returns are limited, so we'd rather help you pick the right one up front:

  • Ask within 15 days of purchase or 2 days after delivery, whichever comes first. We issue a return authorization (RA).
  • It must be new, unused (beyond the factory test fire) and in its original packaging.
  • A restocking fee of at least 25% applies, up to 50% on custom, 3-phase or made-to-order units. Return freight is on the buyer unless we made an error.
  • Damaged in transit? Note it on the delivery receipt, send us photos and we'll help with the freight claim.

Will it work in my space? Power check

Direct-wired (no plug): 240V/80A or 208V/92A single phase on a 100-amp breaker. Not included: kiln shelves, posts, kiln wash, vent and castors (sold separately).

Most 240V kilns need their own circuit and the matching outlet, installed by an electrician. Homes are usually 240V; schools and commercial buildings are often 208V, so pick the voltage that matches your panel.

Send us a photo of your breaker panel or outlet and we'll confirm before your kiln is built: 470-264-3563 (call or text).

Overview

Olympic Kilns · Electric Kiln · Front-Loading Olympic FL20E Large Capacity Electric Kiln FL20E · 240V or 208V · 28″ W × 28″ D × 45″ H · 20 cu ft · Cone 10 / 2350°F The FL20E is Olympic's largest front-loading electric kiln, delivering 20 cubic feet of usable firing chamber for production studios, universities, and commercial operations. Front-loading design allows ergonomic loading at waist height and accommodates oversized work, sculptural pieces, and large production runs. Available in 240V single-phase or 208V three-phase configurations to match your facility's electrical infrastructure.
Maximum firing temperatureCone 10 / 2350°F
Chamber capacity20 cubic feet
Electrical configuration240V or 208V
Loading styleFront-loading door
What’s included
The kiln, with its elements installed
The chamber arrives with Olympic's heavy gauge coiled elements already set in the brick and wired to the control panel. Olympic's manual puts this kiln in its ready-to-fire-on-arrival list, so there is nothing to stack or bolt together.
Bartlett KilnStar controller, fitted and wired
The KilnStar is the standard controller on this kiln and it is installed and wired at the factory. The Genesis touchscreen is a paid upgrade taken at order time, and Olympic's 2026 range no longer offers the RTC-1000, Kiln Sitter, 3-key or V6-CF, so nothing legacy ships here.
One Type K thermocouple and the pilot light
A single Type K thermocouple comes installed and wired to the controller. The control panel also carries a pilot indicator light that comes on whenever the kiln is live. Extra thermocouples only arrive with the 2-zone or 3-zone option, and a Type S is a paid substitution.
The integral steel frame, so no separate stand
Large Capacity kilns are built on their own welded heavy angle iron and metal tubing frame, so there is nothing to fit underneath and no separate stand in the crate. Castors and the shelf rack are separate paid items.
Observation plugs
Hollow ceramic peephole plugs ship with the kiln. Olympic publishes no count for any model, in its manuals or on its site, so we will not print a number here. Ask and we will confirm yours with the factory. Replacements are a stock part.
The operating manual and a one-year warranty
Olympic's printed operating manual travels with the kiln. Olympic's limited warranty runs two years, cut to one year on Kiln-Sitter models and on any kiln rated at cone 10. This one is rated to cone 10, so one year. Register with Olympic within 30 days of delivery and keep your invoice.
Direct wired, so no cord or plug
Large Capacity kilns are hard wired by a licensed electrician, so no cord or plug is fitted and none ships. The receptacle, breaker, copper wire and disconnect are all your electrician's work and your cost.
Not included: relay upgrade, furniture and hookup
Solid state relays cost extra and are required in CA, IL, CT, MN, ME, MA, NH, NY, RI and VT, so budget for them in those states. Castors, the shelf rack and the furniture kit are separate items, and the VentMaster vent, stilts, gloves, kiln wash, a pyrometer and all electrical hookup are not supplied.

Common questions
What electrical service does the FL20E require?
The 240V single-phase model requires a dedicated 100-amp circuit with #4 copper wire (#2 for runs over 40 ft), and the kiln is direct wired. Three-phase versions draw 53 amps at 240V (70-amp breaker) or 62 amps at 208V (80-amp breaker). You'll need a licensed electrician to install the circuit and confirm your facility has adequate service capacity for this 19.2 kW kiln. Peach State Pottery can provide electrical specs to share with your electrician during planning.
Does this kiln include furniture or shelves?
No. Kiln furniture is sold separately because every studio has different loading needs. The FL20E requires custom furniture sized for its 28″ × 28″ × 45″ chamber. We can help you configure a furniture kit with the appropriate shelf sizes, post heights, and quantities based on your typical work and firing schedule.
Is ventilation required for the FL20E?
While not legally required in all jurisdictions, ventilation is strongly recommended for any production kiln of this size. The Orton AutoVent downdraft system removes combustion gases, moisture, and fumes during bisque and glaze firings, improving studio air quality and firing results. Some insurance policies and building codes may require ventilation for commercial kilns.
What is the delivery and installation process?
The FL20E ships fully assembled on a pallet at approximately 2,800 lbs. Freight delivery is curbside only — you'll need rigging equipment (forklift, pallet jack, or crane) to move it into your studio. The kiln requires professional electrical installation by a licensed electrician. Peach State Pottery can coordinate delivery timing and provide installation support documentation.
How do I register the warranty?
Olympic requires warranty registration within 30 days of delivery. After your kiln arrives, complete the registration form on Olympic's website with your serial number, purchase date, and dealer information. Warranty is valid only for kilns purchased through authorized dealers like Peach State Pottery and covers manufacturing defects for one year from delivery date.
