Allan, the largest boilers I can see in the catalogue is for the Caton V4, Hemmens supplied a 3 1/4 inch diameter boiler and for its successor the Max V4 you could have either a 76mm Kingdom style boiler (5kg) or an 80mm dia horizontal boiler (4kg), the boiler was tested to 160psi, the York was supplied with a 3 inch diameter boiler, hope this helps?
