ive used them to great effect. fitting is all down to the access you have but basically remove the existing arm and build a parallel linkage

Hi i cant visulise how it can work using normal regulator lever.

I can see some fit into smoke box but i want the normal regulator control.

do you have a diagram as i am still building the Boiler.

I am at the stage of ready to fit the Stays.

Happy new year

My only drawing isn't compatible with this site so I cant upload it. In a nutshell you need to end up with a regulator linkage with a square end, and make a boss to fit into the valve which accepts the square end. I take it that you want the regulator inside the boiler? Its a fidly job, but I locate and secure the valve via the inside of the steam dome with the steam exiting via steambox in normal position. I will try to sketch on other software.

The boiler inspectorors at our club suggest using a screw type regulator saying much simpler and more reliable.

What do you think i already bought the Valve
