can anyone tell me if there is a boiler made to suit the stuart triple. it must produce about 4lbs steam per hour at 150psi, and i am struggling to find something suitable. regards, pip jones.

pip....talk with mailto: [email protected]   boilers....his largest boiler [6" horizontal] is listed as follows...I would suggest you simply confirm your intended engine as your specification requirement [4lbs steam per hour] is questionable .....Derek

thanks derek. the problem is i have been told that the triple will only run efficiently on 120-150psi, and the maccsteam boiler is only rated at 80psi. it will obviously run on this pressure, but not to its full potential. regards, pip

[derekwarner]

I understand all that pip....but thought Maccsteam may do HP specials .....Derek

[pip jones]

i must admit i had not thought of that. thanks for the advice, and i will contact maccsteam today and see if they do a high pressure version. fingers crossed. regards, pip.
