Burners
Eclipse Thermjets
These are high-performance, high-velocity nozzle mix burners with a potential turndown ratio of 50 to 1. This means a properly selected model will idle at a very soft, very quiet setting, yet offer all the flame and power you need to cook glass quickly. These burners exhibit the cleanest emissions qualities in the business and are extraordinarily flexible in terms of installation. Choose “PCA” models for use with preheated combustion air. Please specify natural gas or propane and refractory or silicon carbide combustor.
Spiral Arts Glory Hole Burner Nozzles
Widely acclaimed for their excellent flame stability and low noise level, these round burners are easy to install and exceptionally durable. They are available in two sizes rated for use with mixture pressures between 4” and 6” water column. Originally developed by Spiral Arts, Wet Dog Glass is licensed to produce them in our own shop. Use 1 small burner for glory holes 12” dia. or smaller, use 2 small burners for glory holes 15” to 18”, use 2 large burners for glory holes 21” to 24”, and four large burners for 27” to 33” glory holes. See chart below for general selection guidelines and pricing. More accurate selection can be made when air pressure and glory hole insulation materials are known.
Sticktite Burner Nozzles
Sticktite burner nozzles are flame retention nozzles made of cast iron. This material works well if it stays cool, a good choice for pipe warmers and garages. To use this chart simply select the nozzle with the appropriate inlet size to match the outlet size of the mixer you will use.
