Hi,
 
I am about to upgrade my engine with a steam water pump and need to add a new valve to my "steam bar", the device where all secondary steam outtake from engine comes from, like whistle and pressure gauge is attached, what is the correct name for the "steam-bar"?
 
Any way, I can either buy a blower valve or injector steam valve, but what is the difference, and what should I buy for steam pump?
 
regards

A blower valve usually has an internal thread as well as the outer one. This is for the blower tube that runs through the boiler to screw into. An ordinary steam valve will be what you require.
