I desoldered the front and completely disassembled the previous repair.

The valve was indeed plugged, but using the solder suction tool, wire brush, etc, it's now flowing.

Lever in line with faucet: everything drains.
Lever in line with inlet, boiler fills.
Lever opposite of inlet, pump drains.

I'll have to cut new threads into the bung end, and use a brass nut on the inside of boiler.

For soldering on the end cap, I assume I can use paste of some sort?

I ordered some glass tube from across the pond... Cheap enough. I assume I bend with torch?
