Hello out there.=20

My mother actually gave me this address, and thought maybe someone might =
be able to help. I'm in a bit of a pickle. The kiln I ordered for the my =
new classroom, is way too big to fit through the doors. It is in the =
hallway, in a box right now. We had to take down part of the front =
double doors even to get the box into the school. The delivery people =
left it outside and ran away.

It is a three phase electric kiln, the biggest one I could find. So, my =
question is, can we take this thing apart, will a school maintenance =
person be able to do this, or am I going to need to call the company =
that made the kiln? I think I may do that anyway tomorrow, once I'm back =
at work. It is so funny it won't fit, but also, kind of embarrassing, if =
I ordered something we will have to return and pay shipping on.=20

Thank you so much=20

Hello out there.

My mother actually gave me this address, and thought maybe someone might be
able to help. I'm in a bit of a pickle. The kiln I ordered for the my new
classroom, is way too big to fit through the doors. It is in the hallway, in
a box right now. We had to take down part of the front double doors even to
get the box into the school. The delivery people left it outside and ran
away.

It is a three phase electric kiln, the biggest one I could find. So, my
question is, can we take this thing apart, will a school maintenance person
be able to do this, or am I going to need to call the company that made the
kiln? I think I may do that anyway tomorrow, once I'm back at work. It is so
funny it won't fit, but also, kind of embarrassing, if I ordered something
we will have to return and pay shipping on.

Thank you so much

Tracy

Hi Tracy,
You`d be best to contact the manufacturer.
Maybe there is a very simple way of taking it apart or they could advise the
school maintenance people on the procedures, over the phone.
What make & model kiln is it ?

Hi Tracy,
If the kiln is built in three rings the answer is yes. If not it will be much more difficult. Can you remove some glass and move it through a window?

Did you really want a Three Phase power kiln??? If you don't already have 3 phase pwer present it is expensive to install. Much more efficient than single phase, but installation of 3 phase has a big price tag if not already present. I learned the hard way.
