If you are purchasing elements for a non-PK kiln you will also receive two barrel type crimp on connectors. PK Kilns use screw type connectors that are reusable, so you will not need new element connectors unless your current connectors are corroded or broken.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAPM Elements VS Standard Kanthal A1 Elements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPM ELEMENTS ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE. APM Elements are made of almost exactly the same material as standard elements, the difference is how they are made. With APM elements they grind up the extruded material and then re-melt it and extrude it again. What this does is give it more dimensional stability (it doesn’t sag or creep as easily) at high temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eElements are more likely to sag and creep when you are firing to, and holding at high temperatures. This can significantly reduce their effective life. So, if you are working with crystal glazes or are consistently firing to Cone 10 you will be very pleased with the added life of the elements. If you are mostly low or mid firing (Cone 04-6) you will not experience any benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/1968\/9606\/files\/skutt_apm_element_480x480.jpg?v=1593360471\" alt=\"Skutt APM Elements VS Standard Kanthal A1 Elements\" width=\"290\" height=\"170\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Do I need new elements?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf your firing times are taking longer than they used to or you are almost reaching temperature but getting an \"\"ERR1\"\" message on your automatic Skutt kiln it's probably time to change your elements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA few signs your elements need to be replaced:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - The coils that make up your elements are slumped over and bunched up in the brick channels. \u003cbr\u003e - The resistance of your elements is more than 1.5 ohms over the factor spec.
