Ships in 12-15 weeks · freight to your door

Olympic Kilns builds most kilns to order once your order is placed, so plan on about 12-15 weeks before it leaves the factory. We email your confirmed ship date and tracking.

  • The freight carrier calls you to book a delivery window.
  • Delivery is curbside with a liftgate. Have a helper or hand truck to move it inside.
  • Check the crate before you sign. Note any damage on the receipt and send us photos.

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

Not included: shelves, posts and fiber paper (sold separately). Needs a 120V, 20-amp circuit with a NEMA 5-20 receptacle. Ships in two boxes.

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 · Glass Fusing Olympic Square 146GFE Glass Kiln Model Square 146GFE · 120 Volt · 14.5″ W × 14.5″ D × 6″ H · Fires to 1700°F The Square 146GFE is a compact 120-volt glass kiln designed for fusing, forming, and precious metal clay work in a 14.5″ × 14.5″ × 6″ chamber. This countertop-friendly kiln plugs into a 120V NEMA 5-20 outlet and reaches 1700°F, making it ideal for jewelry studios, small glass projects, and PMC firing. The Bartlett KilnStar digital controller provides precision glass fusing programs with adjustable ramp and hold segments.
Max Temperature1700°F
Chamber Size14.5″ × 14.5″ × 6″
Voltage120V household plug
ApplicationsGlass fusing, PMC, small forming
What’s included
The kiln, with its elements installedThe 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 wiredThe 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 lightA 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.
Stand or bench, confirmed per orderOlympic publishes stand details for its stackable, oval, studio front loading and large capacity lines, but not for this glass firing model, so we will not print one here. Tell us how you plan to site it and we confirm the stand with Olympic before your order goes in.
Observation plugsHollow 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 two-year warrantyOlympic's printed operating manual travels with the kiln. Olympic's limited warranty runs two years and drops to one year only on Kiln-Sitter models and kilns rated at cone 10. This one is not rated at cone 10, so the full two years apply. Register with Olympic within 30 days of delivery.
A fitted cord and plug, 120VIt runs from an ordinary 120V circuit on a cord and plug fitted at the factory. Olympic's plug configuration row gives NEMA 5-15, 5-20 or L5-30 depending on the model's amperage, so we confirm the exact receptacle with you before the order goes in.
Not included: glass options, furniture and hookupThe bead door, the quartz viewing window, the flash arm and lid elements in quartz rods are all paid Olympic options. No kiln furniture, shelves or posts ship with the kiln, and stilts, gloves, kiln wash, a pyrometer and all electrical hookup are separate.

Common questions
Can I plug this kiln into a regular wall outlet?
Only if it is a 20-amp outlet. The Square 146GFE operates on 120-volt power, and it has a NEMA 5-20 plug and draws 16 amps, so it needs a 20-amp NEMA 5-20 outlet on a dedicated 20-amp circuit. If you don't have one, an electrician can install it. This makes it ideal for studios, classrooms, and home workshops without 240V service.
What glass fusing applications can this kiln handle?
The 1700°F maximum temperature is perfect for full fusing, tack fusing, slumping, and annealing of glass up to 14″ × 14″. You can fire dichroic glass, frit work, jewelry-scale pieces, small plates and bowls, and test tiles. It's also excellent for precious metal clay (PMC) firing, which requires similar temperature ranges and controlled ramping.
Do I need to purchase kiln furniture separately?
Yes. Glass kiln furniture (kiln-washed shelves, shelf paper, and posts) is sold separately to allow you to configure the setup for your specific glass fusing needs. We recommend ordering a furniture kit sized for this 14.5″ × 14.5″ chamber when you purchase the kiln to begin firing immediately upon delivery.
How does the controller handle glass firing?
The KilnStar controller supports glass work with adjustable ramp and hold segments that match glass fusing schedules. It allows you to program precise heating rates (critical for avoiding thermal shock in glass), extended hold times at fusing temperatures, and controlled annealing cycles. This level of control is essential for successful glass work but unnecessary for ceramic firing.
How do I activate the Olympic Kilns warranty?
Register your kiln at the Olympic Kilns website within 30 days of delivery to activate the one-year limited warranty. Keep your purchase receipt from Peach State Pottery, as warranty coverage is valid only through authorized Olympic dealers. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship but does not cover normal wear items like elements and thermocouples.
