7517 forum posts 20 photos | Ady 1, Sorry, but I don’t think so. I don’t see a PRV on it anywhere? Maybe it is that ring on the ‘spout’? The not-quite rocker looks like the electrical on/off switch? The temperature will be 135 Celsius at 3.2bar. There is nothing to suggest that the accessories can withstand any pressure above atmospheric. 3-5 minutes to get to 105 Celsius is not exactly instant in my book. Do you have one? Have you used it? I would certainly let someone test it before I would buy one! |

![]() 23121 forum posts 1360 photos | I have a ‘remarkably similar’ device from another supplier. It serves its intended purpose very well … but I wouldn’t bother trying to test a Mamod engine with it. . I promise to be suitably impressed when someone demonstrates its capability as a test boiler.
