John surely the valve wouldn't be on manstand as the water lift is on the belly tanks ?

I believe Martin Fagg has made them in the past and may have patterns

Default valve

Andy - you are correct - however in his unfortunate fire they got destroyed - Martin made the valves for 3166 .

That's rather tragic. I am pretty sure the drawings are available from MERL.

John,

I can't help, but are you talking about the glanded plug type or globe valve? I tam looking for a plug type (glanded) and would be willing to share pattern costs etc.

I have some new 3/4" and universal steam have an identical version, but not 1/2".
