All kilns should be vented to the outside. The Bailey Double Fume Vent System is a direct fume system designed to pull fumes from the firing chamber before they can leak into the studio. It can be connected to 1 or 2 kilns up to a total of 17 Cu Ft. There are 3 major benefits to this type of vent: Maintains a safe work space free of unpleasant and potentially hazardous fumes. Improves firing results- a clean atmosphere produces brighter colors and better surface finishes. Extends kiln life- by removing fumes immediately from the firing chamber, elements, electronics and the kiln jacket are protected from their corrosive effects.

Maintains a safe work space free of unpleasant and potentially hazardous fumes. Improves firing results- a clean atmosphere produces brighter colors and better surface finishes. Extends kiln life- by removing fumes immediately from the firing chamber, elements, electronics and the kiln jacket are protected from their corrosive effects.
A single small hole (approx 3/8”) is drilled in the back wall of each kiln between the 1st and 2nd row of bricks (up from the floor), opposite the spy holes. (For large Oval kilns, 2 holes are drilled.) During firing, the top spy hole (only) is kept open as the air intake and the fumes are pulled down and out of the kiln. The motor/blower unit is mounted on the studio wall, away from the heat of the kiln, and (2) 4” x 8 Ft flexible high heat hoses are provided to connect each kiln to a T-Damper on the blower. (In the case of a large oval kiln, both hoses are connected to the kiln and to each inlet of the T-Damper.) Dampers can be opened or closed depending on which kiln is firing or if both are firing together. A third 8 Ft hose connects the blower exhaust to a 4” Dia vent kit similar to the type used for a clothes dryer (included). All required collars, hose clamps and hardware are included
The Double Vent System Includes:
75 cfm Blower Motor unit with wall mounting bracket, 13 Ft power cord with standard 120 V plug, dual T-Damper and an ON/OFF switch with timer (3) 4” x 8 Ft flexible high heat hoses (2) hose mount collars to connect hoses to the kiln wall (1) collar to connect the exit duct to the blower (5) hose clamps 4” outside vent kit hardware
