Bowman swallow - boiler end caps ?
« on: February 05, 2025, 05:37:45 pm »

Via email to Mayhem ....

I have a Bowman swallow and am looking for 2 boiler end caps to put it back into running order.
Does anyone know of a supplier of such things. The internal diameter is 1  1/2 inches.

The original bowman boiler had external flanged end plates, soft soldered. If your end plates have gone it would be easier to go for a new boiler,
have a look at Tony Green Steam models, they maybe able to help,

If it's about steam & Phil don't know .... it's probably not true anyway!    {-)

Suggest you trawl the net for "core plugs" ,one such company being Core Plugs International ( no connection) , who are currently advertising 1½" brass core plugs on eBay , item no 191733114334 at £4.08 ea . Hope you find this useful.
