porcelain or stoneware, order any
10-sided 3” wall kiln rated to
2350°F.

All 10-sided studio kilns—even

ings. 3" wall models and the S-99
have 3” thick lids. The S-24,
SnF-24 and TnF-24 have 2 ½"
thick lids.
Exclusive LiteLid
The massive lids are easy to lift with the exclu

sive, patented Paragon counter-balance LiteLid.
(It is not installed on the S-99.) The LiteLid re
-
duces the strain on the kiln body from the pres

sure of the lid. This lengthens the life of the
firebrick walls. The LiteLid eliminates cumber
-
some pulleys and ropes. It allows the lid to ex

pand during firing. Ask competitors if their lid
spring has a truss and a floating lid.
Easy-Access Digital Kiln
Switch Box
Hinged at the bottom, the switch box on 8-,
10- and 12-sided TnF and Viking kilns opens for-
ward for easy maintenance. Open the box in sec-
onds by merely disconnecting the power and
removing two screws. A folding support arm
holds the box in the open position. There is
plenty of working space around electrical compo-
nents.
The Sentry controller is mounted at the top of
the switch box within easy reach.
Heavy Duty Kiln Stand
The 24” wide stand for 10- & 12-sided kilns
supports the brick bottom with 4 ½” wide fram
-
ing across the top of each side. The stand is
rock-steady with 16 gauge frame and heavy 12
gauge legs. Fire massive loads of ware with the
assurance than the brick bottom is fully sup
-
ported.
If you move your kiln out of the way when not
in use, order an optional deluxe kiln stand with
steel casters (page 21).

S, SnF & TnF-28-3 Kilns
The large 12-sided 28-3 series kilns are profit
centers of the busy ceramic studio. They eat up
stacks of low-fire ware. At a cost per cubic foot,
the 28-3 Paragon kilns are the most economically
priced standard kilns we make. They are rated to
2150°F, ideal for low-fire ware.
We have upgraded the TnF-28-3 to 48 amps.
With beefier elements, it fires to temperature with
less strain.
Optional AOP Outlet
The AOP outlet is available on all TnF studio
kiln switch boxes. With the AOP you can select
when the Sentry controller turns on a 240 or 208
volt optional Orton Vent Master:
G
Vent remains on during Pre-Heat, firing, and
Slow Cooling, then turns off at 212°F.
G
Vent remains on during Pre-Heat and firing,
then turns off during Slow Cooling.
G
Vent remains off during firing.
G
Ramp-Hold: Select whether the vent remains
on or off for each segment.
The Easy-to-Load
TnF-27-3 12-Sided Kiln
The TnF-27-3 is easier to load than the
deeper studio kilns. It is only 22 ¼” deep, yet
larger inside than the 29” deep 10-sided 24-series
kilns. Rated to 2350°F, the TnF-27-3 fires porce
-
lain and stoneware on a 240 volt, 50 amp circuit.
Sectional TnF-24,
TnF-24-3, TnF-27-3
& TnF-28-3
The TnF-27-3 and TnF-28-3 now feature
sectional construction. (See photos above.) Sep
-
arate the kiln bottom and sections to repair
bricks, change elements, or to move the kiln
down narrow stairwells or through the narrowest
doorways. Twist-lock spring latches hold the as
-
sembled collars securely.
The TnF-28-3 is a profit center for
the busy studio. Look how much
low-fire greenware it can hold.

Galvanized Steel Base
Paragon studio kilns include a heavy galva-
