Stephen Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 In my quest to find a kiln I came across a 20 year old skutt 818 with an extension ring. The spec call for a 6-50 plug but it seems to have a 10-50 plug on it? can I change this back to a 6-50? Is this possibly an old dryer plug added later? could I possibly just plug it into a 6-50 adapter and use in my 6-50 receptacle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Yes. You can put any cord on it you want as long as it can handle the amperage. That looks like it's probably due for a new cord anyway. The kiln will require a breaker that is 25% greater than the draw of the kiln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted March 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hi Niel, would a 6-50 installed last year likely be able to handle that? Its a dedicated receptacle right by breaker box on a 50 amp breaker and I have been running a skutt 1027 on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
