How DO you make Steam Safety Valves for Live Steam Models? 🤔

- Super simple video showing you step by step how to easily and very cheaply make steam safety valves - one of the more expensive components if you have to buy them for you steam models!
Wow - some catch at 4:55!! Movin throught the matrix there bud!
Haha - yep… I was watching my hands through the screen at the time too - couldn’t do it again if I tried! 😂
Excellent information. Just what I was looking for. 👌👍👍
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching, and good luck with your project! :)
As a follow on from your more recent video, brilliant! I've got all the parts to make one save the springs and when I think about it, I've done all the required jobs as well (inc putting the A2 cap screw head in my drill and filing the thread off that way). I've got a couple of Mamod/MSS safety valves that have never worked properly so I'll have a go at knocking one up. Cheers.
Many thanks once again, and good stuff - Looking forward to seeing your next build! 😊
Nice tutorial
Cheers 😊
What a brilliant idea ! I'm looking at scratch building a little steam engine.
I was thinking of using a can or aerosol can for the boiler.
How did you already know your valve was set at the correct pressure ?
Thank you.
Thanks for watching! If you are building, don’t use a can or aerosol can for two reasons…. Firstly it will be super hard to build… effectively welding rather than soldering - if you use plumbing copper components that problem goes away. Secondly, it will rust over time which introduces extreme danger to the build and it could explode! To test, I fit a foot pump to one of the outlets, fit the steam valve, and see where it blows off… there is a vid on a boiler build on the channel that shows this - it is the same process as making sure the boiler holds pressure, only with the valve fitted instead of a blocking piece to seal the cylinder.

M3
Absolutely - when I say 3mm in the video, I’m referring to standard M3 (metric thread 3mm) nuts and bolts. Thanks for watching!
