Compatability

Post by Narrow Minded » Wed Sep 21, 2011 10:17 am

Has anyone fitted a PPS in-line lubricator to a Dream Steam uprated boiler?
Just wondering about compatability with the lubricator nut and steam turret take-off thread ;)

Funny enough I was looking at my mamod thing last night & thinking the same (It's due a rebuild). Let me know how you get on if you go down this route.

Just thinking again (I know, I should stop), I remember someone fitting a Roundhouse one to their mamod, can't think who it was now though.

Question is, is a R/H inline luber and pipe compatible with a PPS Janet boiler and long enough to each the steampipe? I need to buy a new one as my old pipe sent away for repair has not been heard from in 4 months...

The lubricator is compatable with the threads on the boiler, but the pipe is not long enough to go from the lubricator to the reverse lever so has to be joined just as it enters the combustion chamber. I've got around this problem by making my own, that uses one length of pipe from the regulator to the reverse valve.
