Very impressive boiler, you've done a great job restoring it. I haven't seen a safety valve. Did it come with one, and where will you set the pressure?
Good catch Bret , I was wondering if anyone would notice 😉👍
Yes , it does have a SV , I don't have it on it right now as its part of the plumbing I temporarily removed along with the steam operated water feed pump. Since I had hydraulically tested the boiler to over 150psi I was careful to not push it past 100psi when steaming it. I don't know what the SV that came with this is set too, but I think 100-125 psi is enough for my needs.
You know that this now requires a very serious steam engine.

Sure does! Like a 1/4 HP or 1/2 HP Sipp.
Scott had a 1/2 hp Sipp which I think will be FS.
Bruce used to have 1/4hp Sipp, till he sold to me. That would have worked.
Bruce, thanks for the reply.
Like I said, a really nice looking boiler now that
you've cleaned it up. Apparently from testing, it
is sound to a healthy pressure. And that burner.
well, what more can I say.
So, will somebody offer this steamer an appropriate
engine for his boiler, one that can do some work?
Happy steaming,
Wayne
Wow that's a helluva lot of fittings Bruce!

I'd be good with an proportional size engine to run with it Wayne , As you have said very well , it needs something to do , a boiler without an engine to run isn't of much use.

Lol...Jim , I bought more Brass fittings today , I really want to get the steam injection water pump up and running although I know very little about them , but am reading up on them.
Wow that's a helluva lot of fittings Bruce!
Surprised it’s only $100 worth!

Yes.... I believe he got it from me (if it is this one).
