Skutt Kilns - Replacement Feeder Wire Set for KM818, KM818-3, KMT818 & KMT818-3

♦ Ask us a question ♦

This feeder wire set is the correct replacement for all KM818, KM818-3, KMT818 & KMT818-3 in both 240 and 208 voltages. 

Feeder wires are used to connect the element pigtails to the terminal strip. A new feeder wire set includes crimp on barrel connectors, wires, blue female quick disconnects and labels for each wire that correspond to the terminal strip. Wires are also pre-stripped so all you need to do is crimp on the barrel connectors to attach them to your elements.

If the white insulation on my feeder wires has turned brown do I need to replace them?

If the insulation is slightly discolored but still flexible, it does not need to be replaced. If the wire is brittle or stiff it should be replaced.

Is it possible to remove a crimped on barrel connector?

Yes, but very difficult. As elements are fired they become increasingly brittle and any force applied to them can cause them to break. If you need to remove a barrel connector, cut it in half horizontally so you are only working with half of it. After that you can carefully try to cut away enough metal from the connector to loosen it and carefully twist it off the element.
