Why is the element for the powered bottom not long enough?

  1. Elements in most L&L kilns are the same (exceptions are front-loaders with door elements, School-Master kilns, B models, J/K18R kilns, JD/J230PB with HD Series wired elements, and possibly other older or custom kilns as well).
  2. The channel the element sits in on a powered bottom is often longer than the channels on the sides of the kiln for the side elements.
  3. Powered Bottom elements do not come pre-stretched, so you have to stretch them longer to make them fit correctly.
  4. Be careful not to overstretch the element.
