The 1214-120HE is part of the Olympic Kilns Quick Ship program.

Quick Ship kilns are guaranteed ready-to-ship in no more than 10 to 15 business days following the date of order.

However, it must be ordered in the standard configuration for guaranteed Quick Ship.

Olympic builds just (5) select models for fast shipping. They are just that popular.

The 1214-120HE is the 3rd most ordered kiln in the Pottery Pulse store.

Other Quick Ship kilns include:

• Doll E / Test E Ceramic Kiln
  
• MAS1823HE Ceramic Kiln
• MAS2327HE Ceramic Kiln
• Champ XL Glass Kiln

Any adjustments to the kiln itself beyond the standard build put it into a typical Olympic Kilns production timeline of approximately 12-15 weeks.

This is the Quick Ship policy:

Olympic Kilns Quick Ship models are select studio-sized kilns that ship within 10–15 business days when ordered in their standard configuration. While most Olympic kilns have a 12–15 week lead time, these five models are built and ready to move quickly.

To qualify for Quick Ship, the kiln must be ordered with the standard voltage (120V or 240V, as applicable), single-phase power where applicable, the KilnStar controller, and mechanical relays. Kiln furniture kits and the Orton Vent Master Kit (when available) may be added without affecting lead time and will ship with the kiln.

Any kiln-specific modification will remove the kiln from the Quick Ship program. This includes 208V configurations, 3-phase power, Genesis controllers, solid-state relays, and any other optional upgrades. Casters may be added to the stand and typically extend lead time by only one to two business days.

Choose the voltage that matches the electrical service where the kiln will be installed. Some kilns are available in only one voltage, while others can be ordered in multiple voltages. If both 120V and 240V are available, 240V is generally the preferred choice because it places less demand on your electrical system, while 120V offers the convenience of operating on a dedicated standard household circuit. If both 208V and 240V are available, select the voltage that matches your building's electrical service—240V is most common in homes, while 208V is common in many commercial, educational, and institutional buildings. If you're unsure which voltage you have, confirm it with your electrician before ordering.

Your kiln must be built to match the electrical service where it will be installed. Choose single-phase if that's what your building has (almost all homes do). Choose three-phase only if your building has three-phase power available. If both are available, three-phase is generally the preferred option. If you're unsure, verify the available electrical service with your electrician before placing your order.

Mechanical relays are standard and reliable. Solid-state relays (SSR) offer silent operation, faster cycling, greater precision, and longer lifespan—ideal for frequent or high-accuracy firings.

The following controllers are used across kilns sold by Pottery Pulse. Not all models offer every option—available controllers are listed on each product page. Some kilns include only the standard controller, while most allow upgrades for added precision and convenience.

Not all kilns can use a collar, but Olympic’s Hot Box kilns can be ordered with a collar to expand versatility. A blank collar simply adds height to the firing chamber, while a bead collar adds the same height and includes a built-in bead or annealing door for quick-access lampwork projects.

This safety feature automatically cuts power to the heating elements whenever the kiln lid or door is opened. It prevents accidental burns, protects elements, and resumes power only when safely closed. (Also called an automatic lid shutoff on Olympic kilns.)
