There are 4 types of elements available for the Jupiter Series - these relate to changes in the kiln model over the years. The first change was in January 1996, when L&L began using a slightly enlarged element holder. The next change came in June 2004, when an even larger holder was created.
The 4 element types include:
Standard Small
These elements will fit any Jupiter or K model kiln.
Heavy Duty (HD) Small
These elements are larger in diameter than the standard small, and fit kilns between serial number "010196-A" and "060104-A" (made between Jan. 1, 1996 and June 1, 2004)
Standard Large
These elements take advantage of the 0.5" diameter size of the newest holder design and the change in resistance when the elements get hot. These elements are standard as of October 1, 2004 and can be used in kilns made since June 1, 2004.
Heavy Duty (HD) Large
These elements also take advantage of the 0.5" diameter size of the newest holder design and the change in resistance when the elements get hot. These elements are larger in diameter than the standard elements, allowing for a thick wire with great stretch ratio and watt density.These are available for upgrade on kilns made since June 1, 2004.
All J2900 elements are wired in three in parallel except for 480 volt systems.
