pop-off construction

[Tim NoltingParticipant @timnolting]

Hello. I have picked up a Weeden engine, rebuilt the boiler and made a head. Still missing is a fill spout and the pop-off. Not too worried about the fill spout, but the pop-off is probably more complicated.

Would a tire valve screwed into the top of the boiler work, for a pop-off?

And if not, where do I find a diagram for building one?

Weeden engine

No

Why not buy a spare Mamod or Wilesco safety valve, plenty on e-bay, may have to make an adapter to suit the thread

[Tim NoltingParticipant @timnolting]

OK. Thanks.
